What others say about the Digital Marketing Program
"Module 8 was my favorite because of the awareness topic, 360 feedback, and action plan. Also, module 7 was very interesting and applicable to my passion and role pertaining to AI innovation and developing digital solutions for betterment of organizational health. The program was wonderful. Content was informative, rich with examples, videos, practical applications, and very engaging."
- Sanjay B., Global Head of Solutions
“I really liked working through this program. Each module had an impactful area which I can use in my own development. I liked the online option to take a course like this - I was able to do some work on it, leave it for a period of time to work, take care of personal projects, and go back and rejoin and pick up where I left off. The course forced me to think, use self-discovery, and open my mind to some new concepts. My colleagues were helpful regarding their own thoughts and findings, during the question-and-answer portions. This course has provided a number of tools, posters, handbooks that I can continue to change the way I think and lead others."
- Scott W., Chief Information Security Officer
"Modules 2, 3 and 8 were my favorites because they had a lot of actionable steps and made me very reflective in how I want to be and operate as a leader. My favorite hands-on activity was the ChatGPT assignment. This was a great program! I like that there were many relevant assignments that kept me engaged with the work."
