Worth knowing

As AI evolves, teams are feeling the impact of skills gaps, particularly in marketing analytics, customer experience and automation projects, making it harder to deliver campaigns and adapt to rapidly changing market conditions.
Marketing leaders expect AI-driven automation of marketing work to more than double, from 16% in 2026 to 36% by 2028, meaning routine campaign work and creative production will require less manual labour.
Starting salaries for coordinators are modest—entry roles range from $45K to $60K.
66 per cent of marketing and creative leaders report that skills shortages have led to project delays and cancellations, suggesting your early experience may be chaotic.

How AI is changing this work

AI is increasingly managing complete campaigns, including targeting, creatives, and budget decisions. AI marketing automation compresses hours or days of manual work into minutes by continuously reading real behaviour and performance signals, building and updating segments, and optimizing campaigns in real time. The jobs that survive are those that require strategy, human creativity, and client relationships—not those centred on executing routine tasks. If you enter the field planning to do hands-on data entry, email scheduling, or simple content creation, that work is already being automated. The field is real, but it's shifting toward roles where you understand how AI tools work and can steer them, rather than roles where you are the tool.
