I’ve been working as a consultant at a marketing agency for a little over a year and have come to the conclusion that consulting just isn’t for me. I’m really interested in growing my digital marketing skills so I can begin applying for digital marketing positions. Does anyone have any advice on the best ways to enhance your digital marketing skills?

Get really good at Google Ads and Facebook Ads. Learn Ad Ops. Learn a bit of HTML & JS. Learn basic statistics and data visualization, get really good with Excel, SQL. Run some email campaigns, SEO.

That'll give you a good background.

From there, dive in and get strong experience. Once you can kill any goal they throw at you with your eyes closed, then start folding in other disciplines. Strategy, creative, analytics, start building it out to the full package.

Then go pitch and win biz, kill the numbers, retain clients, make $$$.
