Digital Marketing Strategy - Course Brief

Why is it that some people are able to make amazing strategies and others are grappling with it. Why some strategies give amazing results than those of the others. Are you using opinion as a strategy or are you using the structure to plan a solid strategy that may churn results? The knowledge that you possess makes a big difference. Our parent company hired many freshers in the past and after working with us for a couple of years, most of them were recruited by some of the most respected companies globally. The reason being the structures that they learned and which eventually made them a pro in strategy building and planning.

“Just after working here for 4 years, I've got a raise of 7x using the structures I learned, now I am working as the Head of Marketing, traveling internationally, making a mark for myself in the industry, my clients love me ” - Shafi Ahmed, Chennai

A+ grade Course Syllabus – This is core difference

This is designed by A+ grade thought leaders, doers who are creating success stories every day and channel researchers who knows what are the quick wins of 2019.

Digital is very powerful provided used correctly. The biggest challenge is the vastness it offers. One can spend the whole year working on various things but get very little result or spend some limited time on few selected areas to get exception results. Also it offers few things which other marketing channels may not offer like niche-group branding, research just before sales (some industries have 80%+ market here) etc. Some of it is very critical for SMEs. Did you know over 95% of the business units are SMEs? Being really good at Digital marketing can also help you get very good salaries in SMEs, this career option is very critical for everyone esp when the market is bad.

The biggest gain is there is less supply, a lot lesser than the demand, we are talking about A+ grade professionals, in digital this is the only crowd which will enjoy the true digital growth as they create the max impact. Look at the course we have.
