    Exactly as the title suggests, do you think it's true or have you seen or experienced ageism in the digital marketing world? Is it a young persons industry?

    I ask because a good friend wishes to enter the digital marketing arena and after some research online has come to the conclusion that although there is a skills shortage reported, companies are only interested in hiring folks under 35 for jobs like seo consultant, social media consultant etc

    Any thoughts appreciated.
