We deliver great digital campaigns – and we’re here to help you deliver your own. This course balances breadth and depth of knowledge and skill to ensure everyone can collaborate strategically on their campaigns.
The course covers every stage of the customer purchase journey – from when you first get noticed (awareness) to established customers returning and telling everyone about your business (loyalty).
With expert guidance, your team will improve their understanding of marketing, and learn how to measure, research, and strategize campaigns. They will walk away with a full media plan and certificate of completion.
You’ll start by selecting between the standard version of the course or a customised version. Once we’re ready, we’ll kick things off in a welcome call.
Your team will experience a blend of self-paced interactive learning and live sessions – and our trainer will always be on hand to help them out. Throughout the course, they will work to create a real campaign, learning the end-to-end process of building, running and optimising it. You’ll even be able to run the campaign for your organisation at the end of the course.

Teams working together on marketing campaigns. When everyone has a shared strategic view, they work better together and deliver more with their campaigns. This involves people in marketing roles as well as business professionals working with your marketing team.
Brands and teams working with agencies. Challenge your agencies to innovate and deliver strong results by communicating on their terms.
