The marketing job market is consolidating around a specific competency—likely cross-functional fluency, data literacy, or creative-plus-analytical capability—that separates hireable candidates from the rest.

For marketers still positioned as pure creatives or pure analysts, this represents an existential recalibration of career viability.
