Why Marketing Roles Are Hard to Fill in Bristol

Shifting skill priorities

Marketing teams in Bristol are under pressure to deliver measurable impact. Employers are looking for candidates who bring a balance of creativity and analytics, with strong skills in content, CRM, SEO and paid media.

Agency vs in-house demand

Bristol’s agency market is competitive, but many marketers are moving client-side in search of flexibility and long-term growth. This trend is creating hiring challenges for agencies, especially at mid-senior levels.

Fast-changing digital tools

From GA4 to Meta Business Suite and HubSpot, staying up to date with new tools is essential. Employers often struggle to find candidates who combine platform expertise with wider strategic thinking.
