What does a company need to get their stuff known and reach more customers? Marketing of course. A great marketing team can take an average company to stardom. It all starts with talent. So, let’s look at what the overall situation in marketing jobs in Estonia is.

Marketing should act as the face of the company – what values they want to promote, what they do and you know, who needs it in the first place? Marketing has been underrated in the past but luckily there has been a shift in this thinking. This has turned marketing into a huge industry on its own. Redburn and PwC calculated that the sector is now worth $1.7 trillion worldwide. 

 

Market Overview

 

According to the data on marketing and advertising specialists by the unemployment insurance fund there is a balance between labour supply and demand in the next 12 months in most areas of Estonia (assessed April 2019). All apart from Pärnu county, which is going to have a shortage in talent.

Sales and marketing managers are predicted to be in balance as well in most areas, apart from a surplus of workforce in Tartu county and a shortage in Ida-Virumaa.

Bare with me now, I promise some juicy statistics are gonna follow shortly.

What can we conclude from this? Overall this should indicate that the market conditions are stable and workforce should be compensated relatively fairly. If you are looking for marketing jobs in Estonia, you have options to choose from and companies do not have to panic to find the next PPC specialist. 

We have gathered the data from the last 6 months from MeetFrank and here is what we found:

This does make sense – it is unrealistic to hire 5 CMO’s for your team or build the whole team up from entry level roles. Much like in other fields, right now in Estonia skilled talent is in high demand. And as to be expected the salaries correlate to the seniorities.

I have to point out that the top skills in demand is what I as a marketer love to see. To build a successful brand you need a great strategy, manage the workload efficiently, always keep looking at data and improving. Top it all off with some social media magic and keep in mind that content is king 🙂

If you are looking to up your skills in marketing, there are two ways to go here based on this info. Become a full stack marketer that has knowledge in all or specialise in one particular skill. This should be a personal choice – probably not wise to put all your effort into content marketing if you hate writing. On the other hand if trying to outsmart Google’s algos floats your boat, SEO may be for you.

The top paying job offers in marketing in Estonia also paint a similar picture. Job offers paying over €2500 require skills such as content marketing, strategy and project management combined. These would fit the description of a CMO or head of marketing so unsurprisingly the salaries correlate.
