Transition to UX/ UI Design from Marketing/ Sales

Marketing as a field is extensive. You have marketers that specialize in social media, website conversion and SEO, and content marketing, to name a few.

Most people who transition into UX from marketing find that there tends to be a lot of overlap between the two fields when it comes down to understanding customers’ needs. As a marketer, your goal is to create content that’s engaging and drives customers to purchase the products and services your company offers.

Some of the overlapping skills include:

Customer research
Market Analysis
Persona generation

Being able to measure and analyze the impact of a new campaign or new design.
