The past one to two years have seen the local market push forward into digital even more.In a recent interview, MasterCard’s head of marketing Sam Ahmed highlighted the urgency of strong digital talent for marketing. “The days of only "the digital people" thinking and handling digital are numbered.

We then took the top titles that saw the largest growth in frequency in that 5 year period and ranked them by their relative size in 2013.“Big data” and “cloud services” were the root phrases used to determine frequencies for “big data architect” and “cloud services manager” (which had many permutations, e.g. “big data architect/analyst/engineer” etc.).
