Entry Level Digital Marketing Specialist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level digital marketing specialist job?
Build a portfolio that shows real results, even from class projects, volunteer work, or a personal brand you ran yourself. Employers at this level look for hands-on familiarity with tools like Google Analytics, Meta Ads Manager, or an email platform. A short internship or freelance project that demonstrates campaign execution, content creation, or paid media basics gives candidates a clear edge over applicants with credentials alone.
Which companies hire entry level digital marketing specialists?
Companies hiring entry level digital marketing specialists right now include Jobot, TikTok, and U-Haul, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Hiring at this level covers startups building their first marketing function, mid-size e-commerce brands, and larger organizations running high-volume campaigns who bring in junior talent to support growing digital teams.
Are there remote entry level digital marketing specialist jobs?
Yes, remote and hybrid options are a real part of this market. About 38% of entry level digital marketing specialist openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, making it one of the more flexible fields for candidates who need location independence or are relocating after graduation.

Are these new grad digital marketing specialist jobs?
Yes. The listings here include new grad, recent graduate, and junior roles that explicitly welcome candidates starting out. A new grad friendly posting typically requires zero to two years of experience, accepts internships or academic projects as qualifying background, and does not expect prior campaign ownership or management responsibility. A portfolio showing any hands-on digital work strengthens an application at this stage.
Which industries hire the most entry level digital marketing specialists?
