Marketers: what keeps you up at night? You’re probably not alone.

Did you remem­ber to set your seg­ments to the lat­est data?

Did you cal­cu­late that engage­ment rate using the right formula?

Did you pub­lish the changes to your client’s website?

As a group, dig­i­tal mar­keters doubt their skills, effec­tive­ness and abil­i­ty to mea­sure impact. We found this out after sur­vey­ing 1,000 mar­keters in the US, ask­ing them about them­selves, their per­for­mance, and that of their com­pa­nies. Their answers gave us some inter­est­ing insights into what life is like as a mar­keter in 2013.

Below are a few insights from the survey:

• Most dig­i­tal mar­keters don’t have for­mal train­ing: 82% of them learn on the job
• 76% of mar­keters believe the indus­try has changed more in the last 2 years than the past 50 years
• Only 9% agreed with the state­ment “I know our dig­i­tal mar­ket­ing is working”
• The top con­cern for mar­keters is reach­ing their customers
• 61% think that, for most com­pa­nies, dig­i­tal mar­ket­ing approach­es are a con­stant cycle of tri­al and error
