What Can I do with a Master's in Marketing Analytics

As the digital landscape evolves, marketing professionals will play a vital role in shaping the success of businesses and organizations. Overall employment of advertising, promotions, and marketing managers is projected to grow 6 percent from 2022 to 2032, faster than the average for all occupations. Employment of market research analysts is projected to grow 13 percent from 2022 to 2032, much faster than the average for all occupations. 

About 94,600 openings for marketing analysts are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.
