Marketers Lack Skills Needed for Success, Scoring 36% on Digital IQ Test

March 12, 2021

Over 2000 people have taken our Digital IQ Quiz and the scores are surprising.

Marketers collectively scored 36% overall on the quiz which covers key digital marketing and social media topics. They showed gaps in knowledge in the following areas: measurement, strategy, content marketing, social media, digital advertising, and SEO.

Our results also showed that marketers think tactically more than they think strategically. 60% of the time they answered tactical questions correctly, but less than half the time they answered strategic questions correctly.

As experienced digital marketers, our organization knows the importance of strategic thinking in digital marketing. Without strategy, marketers are playing a big game of chance, and trying tactics with no clear idea of what is working. Our survey results confirm this.
