What others say about the Digital Marketing Program

"The Overall Course was awesome, and all the speakers were very knowledgeable and interactive. I thoroughly enjoyed the Marketing Data & Analytics segment as it provided valuable insights into the proactive steps required for managing campaigns in real time."
- Sandesh S., Marketing Cloud Engineer

"This was an excellent program for me as a manager to understand the scope of the digital marketing campaigns that my teams will be initiating with my help. I feel that after I have taken the program, I can talk about its merits to my partners in my non-profits. The last module on marketing analytics was very interesting to know how data can be presented in an effective way for stakeholders to make intelligent decisions. To me, this was a very exciting program. The videos were energetic and pointed me to resources I could subscribe to. Having this online, I'm able to go back and replay all the videos that I want to dive deeper into. I think that's a great benefit."
- Yvette N., Sr. Project Manager

"I liked each of the modules. The speakers shared their expertise in a great way - easy to understand. The materials will be great assets going forward. The activities made me stop and think - but in great ways! Each module was great! Thanks to everyone involved in putting this program together! Great job!"
