Number of Business > Skilled Digital Marketing Consultants
Let’s take the UK into our scope, Here according to UK Government, there are 4.2 million businesses that have registered till 2019. Out of this 4.2M business, I am sure that not all the businesses will have their own business website, a social media page representing their business, etc.
Here the opportunity is open for the Digital Marketing Consultants in two ways, One is that all the business owners who don’t have a business website will definitely move online soon as that’s the only way to sustain in their ongoing business. Here right from registering a domain name to rank their business website on Google, they seek the Digital Marketing experts help.

On the other hand, the business owners who already have a business website will be struggling to get more leads from that. The reason is the lack of online visibility. In this case, business owners will be seeking the guidance of the skilled digital strategy consultants to promote their brand online. So either way, the demand is going to be sky high in the coming days.
Also, to make a note. the number of businesses is going to increase in the coming years. So choosing a career in digital marketing will be the best decision!
