What's up everybody my name is Puneet
Tandon and this is Young Urban Project Today i'll be talking about what are the
most popular digital marketing jobs out there, what skills do you need to get those
jobs, and what salary can you get for those jobs. Make sure you watch this video till the
end because this has insane value for you But before we begin, can you press the LIKE button
and SUBSCRIBE to my channel if you are new here. It would really mean a lot to me. Digital marketing
is a super hot space to be in right now. Every business is going digital and there is so much
opportunity in this space that it is unbelievable. Don't believe anyone who says this industry is
so crowded and so competitive because that's just not true. And i will prove it to you later in
this video. Anyway, let's answer the first question. What are the most popular digital marketing job
roles out there? Ideally there are two types of digital marketing companies that you can join.
The first is a 'digital marketing agency' which is also called the 'agency side' and the other is
when you work with a 'brand' which is also known as working on the 'client side'.
The core difference
is that when you are on the agency side, you become the service provider or the vendor. The client will
tell you their pain points or goals in form of a brief and then the agency has to come back with a
plan and then execute the plan after it's approved On the client side you are the one who needs
to set the company's digital marketing goals, understand the business, understand customers well,
and finally create a brief to be shared with the agency. The client side job roles also require
you to approve plans and content that the agency makes.
You have to give feedback on it, monitor the
performance by scrutinizing the reports, and then deliver the results to the brand's management.
Sometimes it also happens that the client side does not have an agency onboard. Instead, all the
execution is also done by an internal team on the client side. If you are thinking about whether an
agency side is better to work or the client side is better, I will make a separate detailed video on
that because I worked on both sides in my career so i kind of have a pretty good idea on both the
sides.
But it's safe to say that both sides have their pros and cons and it depends from person
to person on what they like. Now i wanted to make a small announcement before we go ahead. The
applications for our advanced practical digital marketing course are now live. It's a one-of-a-kind

The next question is: what kind of
job roles are available for digital marketers? Now digital marketing encapsulates a lot of
channels under it and that is why there is a wide range of job roles available both on the agency
side and the brand side. I will list some prominent job roles for you. Number one: an Account Manager.
This role is found on the agency side. The account manager is responsible to take care of the digital
marketing strategy and execution for a brand which is also known as an account. The account manager
makes monthly, quarterly, annual reports that are shared with the clients.
If you like the planning
parts and operational parts of the business, this could be a good role for you. This requires
three to four years experience in digital space. Number two: Client Servicing Manager. Again, this is
an agency role. This role is the interface between the agency team and the client team. The client
servicing manager gets the briefs from the client decodes them and then shares with the
strategy team and the account management team inside the agency in some new age small
and mid-sized agencies account managers also do client servicing but this varies from
agency to agency this role also requires three to four years experience in digital space number
three social media manager this is also sometimes known as a community manager the responsibility
of a social media manager is to manage a brand social media assets like facebook instagram
twitter etc this will also include creating a platform specific content strategy responding to
incoming queries and engaging with the followers if you have a creative bent of mind and love being
on social media this could be a great fit for you number four paid marketing manager or performance
marketing manager this role is responsible for designing and managing paid ad campaigns these
paid ads could include facebook ads google ads twitter linkedin ads programmatic ads and even ad
inventory purchase from ott platforms like disney plus c5 etc these roles can be based in both
agency and the client side you can start off as a paid marketing executive and grow to the manager
level in around two to four years number five seo manager this role can be both in an agency side
and on the client side this role is responsible for getting organic traffic on the website this
will include doing on-page optimization keyword research creating high quality content creating
relevant backlinks and so much more and at the end of the month the seo manager is also expected
to create a report on which activities were done what worked and what didn't work apart from the
seo skills this role also requires a good command on language generally it's english but if you are
not very good with english that's okay you can still do seo another thing that you really need
to be good at is understanding the audience well so when you understand your audience well you'll
be able to create seo tactics and strategies that really work for them number six analytics
manager this role is again found in both agencies and brands the responsibility of this
role is to identify the patterns and trends that are not visible to the naked eye the
analytics manager creates reports of variable digital marketing activities and then decodes
this data to find patterns that can improve performance and roi if you have an analytical bent
of mind and are interested in math and statistics this could be a great role for you number seven
influencer marketing manager this is relatively a new role and this is like the 2021 version of
a pr manager instead of traditional media this manager creates and manages relationships with
various influencers that are relevant to the brand when a brand activity requires influencers this
role activates those influences gives them briefs approves the content and finally manages payments
if you have great interpersonal skills and are great at striking relationships and friendships
this could be a great role for you apart from this there are roles like content writer email marketer
graphic designer animator copywriter you might already know what these roles do now if you're
wondering whether you should become a specialist in one channel or become a journalist by learning
all the skills i would suggest you look up something called a t-shaped marketer what it means
is you learn and practice all the skills under digital marketing like social media paid media seo
email marketing everything but you mastered like truly mastered one or two skills out of them this
will allow you to create 360 degree strategies but you will still have a speciality over a couple
of skills better than anyone else in our advanced digital marketing course this is what we prepare
you for the link is in the description or the bio you can learn more about the course or apply for
it now comes the final part of the video which is what salary can you expect in a digital marketing
role in india i want to be honest here the salary you get depends on a lot of factors like how
skilled you are what kind of a company you are applying for what is your educational background
even though this one is getting less and less important over time but what i did was i went to
naukri.com which is like the biggest job portal in india and i did a quick research on the salaries
that were being offered by companies i will tell you the average salary is being offered of course
there are some openings that are paying more than this some paying less than this but for the sake
of this video we will look at the median range rather than looking for the outliers so when
i chose the range of professional experience between zero to two years most of the digital
marketing job openings were offering a salary in the range of three lakhs to six lakh rupees
but there were also a lot of openings in the range of six to ten lakh rupees this is actually
more than what a four-year engineering in india from a normal college would get you when i
increased the experience up to five years a lot of openings were there in the range of six
to ten lakhs but when i increased the experience to ten years there were a lot of mid to senior
level openings that were paying in the range of 10 to 25 lakhs some senior openings were also
paying up to 50 lakhs but obviously they look for extremely talented and skilled digital marketers
this shows that digital marketing is a well-paying profession where you will get your worth if you
are skilled and there's enough opportunity out there and if you have the practical experience
and if you go for the right companies nothing can stop you when you do this right with
the right mentorship trust me sky is the limit and that is all for today i hope you found this
