What’s Holding Back Marketing Teams in Leicester?

Too Many Generalists, Not Enough Specialists

Many companies in Leicester need marketers with specialist skills, from digital analytics to paid media and email automation. But the market is flooded with generalists, making it hard to find professionals with the depth needed to lead and deliver specific campaigns.

Pressure to Do More with Less

Marketing teams are being asked to stretch further than ever, managing content, performance, branding, and more. Without the right people in place, in-house teams can burn out and lose momentum, especially in competitive sectors like retail and eCommerce.

Struggling to Attract Creative Talent

Leicester has a great creative community, but many marketing professionals are drawn to larger cities like Nottingham or Birmingham. Without a compelling employer brand, companies can struggle to attract and retain top marketers.
