RECEIPT #MARK-R
FEB 09, 2026
PREDICTION BY
Mark Ritson“Second, if you are looking, the market rewards breadth and seniority. Companies want marketers who can work across the full scope of the discipline – strategy, research, brand, comms, pricing – not specialists in one narrow channel. The Taligence data showed the fastest-growing demand was for ‘growth marketing,’ a label I personally think makes zero sense, but it signals where the market is moving.””
FOLLOW-UP
Based on 2025 data, his description of current trends is accurate. However, the predictive element regarding the *continued* shift toward breadth and 'growth marketing' into the future (beyond publication) is still in progress and lacks sufficient post-publication longitudinal data for confirmation or refutation.
