Companies of all sizes rely on smart marketing strategies to succeed. And when the C suite needs to know more about their target demographic, where their ad dollars are going, and how they stack up against the competition, they turn to the marketing team.
Marketing jobs are exciting, challenging, rewarding - and most importantly, on the rise. As of January 2020, there were 30,608 positions advertised nationwide on Glassdoor.
And it’s clear why they’re in such high demand: digital marketers interpret data, bring the brand to life, and discover new ways to help the company stand out from the competition. But with a steady rise in new social platforms, more detailed user data, and robust analytics tools, employers are looking for a very specific set of skills to complete their marketing department.
That's why we're thrilled to announce the latest addition to our course offerings: Digital Marketing Flex.
Who Should Take This Course

- Currently in a different field, but wants to transition to marketing.
- Already in a marketing role, but needs the skills to level up and make a bigger impact.

Whether you’ve dabbled with Facebook Ads and Google Analytics and you’re motivated to get the next promotion, or you’re hoping to transition from a different field into a high-dollar marketing career - Digital Marketing Flex will give you the skills, confidence, and portfolio you need to take the next step.
