Manager Digital Marketing

Overview

Challenge

The main challenge was to find a candidate with a proven track record in digital marketing, preferably with experience in setting up and leading digital marketing teams. The role required a blend of strategic thinking, creativity, and technical expertise in digital marketing tools and platforms. Given the nascent stage of the digital marketing setup within the university’s Indian operations, the candidate also needed to be a self-starter, capable of working independently to establish the team from the ground up.

The recruitment strategy focused on identifying candidates with a solid foundation in digital marketing, leading to a search that encompassed professionals from globally recognized e-commerce companies. This approach ensured a pool of candidates with exposure to cutting-edge digital marketing practices and a global perspective. After extensive discussions and evaluations, a candidate from a prominent e-commerce company with operations in major economies was selected. Their experience in digital marketing, combined with their ability to innovate and lead, made them the ideal choice to establish and head the university’s digital marketing team in India.

Unique Approach

The search strategy was centred around the core competencies required for the role, with “digital marketing basics” as the primary keyword guiding the search. By engaging in in-depth discussions with suitable candidates, the recruitment process facilitated a thorough understanding of each candidate’s skills, experiences, and potential fit for the role. This comprehensive approach, coupled with the collaborative efforts of the university and Corporate Associates, allowed for the identification and recruitment of a Manager Digital Marketing capable of laying a strong foundation for the university’s digital marketing initiatives in India.
