Engagement is high.<br /><br />And yet… growth feels stagnant.<br /><br />So what’s going wrong?<br /><br />The problem isn’t effort — it’s focus.<br /><br />In Episode 101, we break down the five marketing metrics that actually matter — the numbers that give you real clarity on whether your marketing is driving business growth, not just activity.<br /><br />We explore:<br />– Why customer acquisition cost is the foundation of smarter marketing decisions<br />– How understanding customer lifetime value completely changes your strategy<br />– The real power of conversion rates (and how small changes create massive impact)<br />– Why return on marketing investment turns marketing into a growth driver, not a cost<br />– And how focusing on qualified leads sharpens your entire marketing system<br /><br />If your marketing looks busy but doesn’t feel effective, this episode will help you cut through the noise and focus on what actually moves the needle.<br /><br />Because marketing isn’t about more metrics.<br />It’s about the right metrics.<br /><br />And when you understand them, everything becomes clearer — what to scale, what to fix, and what to stop doing.<br /><br />🔗 Free Resources, Courses &amp; Next Steps <br /><br />Access FREE digital marketing resources and explore professional, accredited qualifications: 👉<br /><a href="https://digitalandsocialmediaacademy.com/pages/podcast" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://digitalandsocialmediaacademy.com/pages/podcast</a><br /><br />📘 Discover courses designed to future-proof your marketing career<br />🎓 Learn how Business Consort Academy helps marketers step into strategic, leadership, and higher-earning roles<br /><br />📲 Join Us on Instagram<br />Follow @businessconsort for daily insights, strategies, and practical marketing tips.<br /><br />🎧 Follow Digital Marketing, Made Easy on your favourite podcast platform so you never miss an episode — or listen directly on our website.<br /><br />Thanks for listening — and we’ll see you in the next episode. 🎙️✨]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>500</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>digitalmarketing,digitalmarketingmadeeasy,dmmepodcast,marketers,marketing,marketingexpert,marketingskills,marketingskills2026,mindset,prespective,skillset,skillset2026,tips,tools</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/48e20b3daf2b1c1def8ac4b7165fd48b.jpg"/><itunes:episode>101</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Ep 100 -  The Customer Acquisition Reset</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/ep-100-the-customer-acquisition-reset--70848257</link><description><![CDATA[🎙️ Digital Marketing, Made Easy<br />Episode 100: The Customer Acquisition Reset<br /><br />Welcome back to Digital Marketing, Made Easy — the podcast where we break down what’s actually working in digital marketing right now, what’s changing in 2026, and how to grow your business without wasting time, money, or effort.<br /><br />In this milestone Episode 100, we’re diving into one of the most important shifts happening in marketing today — customer acquisition.<br /><br />Because here’s the reality: many businesses are doing more marketing than ever before… but seeing fewer results.<br /><br />They’re posting consistently, running ads, sending emails — yet growth has stalled.<br /><br />And the reason is simple.

In today’s episode we tackle one of the most common questions aspiring and experienced marketers ask: What skills do employers actually want in digital marketers right now? Not what social media trends suggest.<br /><br />Not what people claim online. But the skills companies are genuinely hiring for. Because the digital marketing job market has shifted significantly in recent years. Employers are no longer just looking for people who can run campaigns or post content. They’re looking for marketers who understand growth, strategy, data, and how digital activity connects to real business outcomes. In this episode, we break down 10 of the most in-demand digital marketing skills employers are prioritising in 2026, including: <br /><ul><li>Digital marketing strategy</li><li>Data analysis and performance measurement</li><li>AI-assisted marketing</li><li>Search engine optimisation (SEO)</li><li>Paid advertising and performance marketing</li><li>Content strategy</li><li>Customer journey and conversion optimisation</li><li>Marketing automation</li><li>Commercial awareness</li><li>Digital leadership and communication </li></ul><br />As you’ll notice, the skills employers value most today are not just tactical skills — they’re strategic capabilities. They’re the skills that allow marketers to understand how digital marketing works as a complete system: <br /><ul><li>Strategy.</li><li>Data.</li><li>Search.</li><li>Paid media.</li><li>Content.</li><li>Automation.</li><li>Customer behaviour.</li><li>Commercial thinking. </li></ul>These are the capabilities that allow marketers to grow with the industry rather than constantly trying to catch up with it. We also discuss why modern digital marketing education is evolving to reflect this shift — teaching marketers how all of these areas connect together so they can operate at a strategic level. <br /><br />At Business Consort Academy, students build foundations in strategy, planning, and commercial intelligence before specialising in areas such as AI, SEO, paid advertising, ecommerce, or social media management — helping them develop the skills employers are actively searching for. If you’ve ever wondered what you should focus on learning next, this episode will help you understand the core capabilities that keep digital marketers valuable — no matter how quickly the industry evolves. <br /><br />🔗 Free Resources, Courses &amp; Next Steps <br />Access FREE digital marketing resources and learn more about professional, accredited qualifications at:<br />👉 <a href="https://digitalandsocialmediaacademy.com/pages/podcast" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://digitalandsocialmediaacademy.com/pages/podcast</a> <br /><br />📘 Explore digital marketing courses designed to future-proof your career<br /><br />🎓 Learn how Business Consort Academy helps marketers move into strategic, leadership, and higher-earning roles <br /><br />📲 Join Us on Instagram <br />Follow @businessconsort on Instagram (100K+ followers) for daily content packed with practical tips, tools, and insights to boost your digital skills and stay ahead in digital marketing. <br /><br />🎧 Don’t forget to follow Digital Marketing, Made Easy in your favourite podcast player so you never miss an episode — or listen directly on our website:<br /><a href="https://digitalandsocialmediaacademy.com/pages/podcast" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://digitalandsocialmediaacademy.com/pages/podcast</a> <br /><br />Thanks for listening — and we’ll see you in the next episode. 🎙️✨]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/70589407</guid><pubDate>Thu, 12 Mar 2026 01:00:02 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://growx.podkite.com/https/PK5tg4niel/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/70589407/episode_98_the_10_digital_marketing_skills_employers_are_hiring_for_in_2026.mp3" length="10312591" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Dawn McGruer FRSA FCIM</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>🎙️ Digital Marketing, Made Easy

Instead of talking about theory or trends, we walk through what a real day in modern digital marketing looks like — with AI working alongside you. Because when AI is used properly, it doesn’t replace marketers.<br /><br />It removes the slow, repetitive work that used to take hours. And that shift changes everything. <br />From market research and competitor analysis…<br />To content planning and first drafts…<br />To campaign optimisation and performance analysis… <br /><br />AI can now:<br /><ul><li>Summarise industry insights in minutes</li><li>Surface trending search behaviour</li><li>Generate structured content ideas</li><li>Draft copy variations quickly</li><li>Analyse campaign performance in plain language</li><li>Identify optimisation opportunities faster</li><li>Reduce wasted ad spend</li></ul><br />But here’s the key distinction: <br /><ul><li>AI accelerates execution.</li><li>Marketers still lead strategy.</li><li>It cannot decide long-term positioning.</li><li>It cannot understand brand nuance.</li><li>It cannot replace commercial judgement. </li></ul>And in many ways, the better AI becomes at production, the more valuable strategic thinking becomes. <br /><br />In this episode, we explore:<br /><ul><li>How AI is reshaping the digital marketing workday</li><li>Why marketers should work with AI, not compete against it</li><li>The difference between automation and strategy</li><li>How commercial and strategic thinking increase in value</li><li>Why modern digital marketing qualifications now include AI as a specialism</li></ul>Because the real competitive advantage in 2026 isn’t who uses AI. <br />It’s who thinks strategically while using it.

And that shift changes everything. <br />From market research and competitor analysis…<br />To content planning and first drafts…<br />To campaign optimisation and performance analysis… <br /><br />AI can now:<br /><ul><li>Summarise industry insights in minutes</li><li>Surface trending search behaviour</li><li>Generate structured content ideas</li><li>Draft copy variations quickly</li><li>Analyse campaign performance in plain language</li><li>Identify optimisation opportunities faster</li><li>Reduce wasted ad spend</li></ul><br />But here’s the key distinction: <br /><ul><li>AI accelerates execution.</li><li>Marketers still lead strategy.</li><li>It cannot decide long-term positioning.</li><li>It cannot understand brand nuance.</li><li>It cannot replace commercial judgement. </li></ul>And in many ways, the better AI becomes at production, the more valuable strategic thinking becomes. <br /><br />In this episode, we explore:<br /><ul><li>How AI is reshaping the digital marketing workday</li><li>Why marketers should work with AI, not compete against it</li><li>The difference between automation and strategy</li><li>How commercial and strategic thinking increase in value</li><li>Why modern digital marketing qualifications now include AI as a specialism</li></ul>Because the real competitive advantage in 2026 isn’t who uses AI. <br />It’s who thinks strategically while using it. AI replaces inefficient processes.<br /><br />Strategic marketers become more valuable. <br /><br /><b>🔗 Free Resources, Courses &amp; Next Steps</b> <br />Access FREE digital marketing resources and learn more about professional, accredited qualifications at:<br />👉 <a href="https://digitalandsocialmediaacademy.com/pages/podcast" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://digitalandsocialmediaacademy.com/pages/podcast</a> <br /><br />📘 Explore accredited digital marketing courses designed to future-proof your career<br /><br />🎓 Discover how Business Consort Academy helps marketers work with AI strategically — moving into leadership, growth, and higher-earning roles <br /><br />📲 Join Us on Instagram Follow @businessconsort on Instagram (100K+ followers) for daily content packed with practical tips, tools, and insights to boost your digital skills and stay ahead in 2026 and beyond. <br /><br />🎙️ Don’t forget to follow Digital Marketing, Made Easy in your favourite podcast player so you never miss an episode — or listen directly on our website:<br /><a href="https://digitalandsocialmediaacademy.com/pages/podcast" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://digitalandsocialmediaacademy.com/pages/podcast</a> <br /><br />Because in modern digital marketing, tools will evolve.<br />But strategic thinking is what keeps you valuable. <br /><br />Thanks for listening — and we’ll see you in the next episode. 🎧<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>453</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>2026,advertising,ai,and,automation,content,creation,digital,for,future,in,marketers,marketing,of,paid,productivity,seo,strategy,tools,with</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/48e20b3daf2b1c1def8ac4b7165fd48b.jpg"/><itunes:episode>97</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Ep 96- Why Career Paths in Digital Marketing Are Becoming Non-Linear</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/ep-96-why-career-paths-in-digital-marketing-are-becoming-non-linear--70271379</link><description><![CDATA[<b>🎧 Digital Marketing Made Easy Episode 96: Why Career Paths in Digital Marketing Are Becoming Non-Linear</b><br /><br />Welcome back to Digital Marketing, Made Easy — the podcast where we look beyond tactics and talk about what actually builds long-term relevance, resilience, and earning power in modern marketing. In 2026, digital marketing isn’t just evolving.<br /><br />It’s maturing. And the real question isn’t simply how to grow in your current role —<br />it’s how prepared you are for what comes next.

In today’s episode, we’re rethinking SEO. <br /><br />If your first thought is keywords, algorithms, or something only a specialist handles, this episode will challenge that perspective.

Because SEO is no longer just a technical skill.<br /><br />It’s becoming a leadership skill. Search today isn’t just about traffic.<br />It’s about visibility, trust, authority, and choice.
