TOP REVIEWS FROM INTRODUCTION TO THE DIGITAL ADVERTISING LANDSCAPE
The course content is good but it should have included more video content. It was almost all reading assignments
It was a great course to start learning the foundational structure of digital advertising.
In some cases I wish there was more content. Overall, I learned a lot as someone who has no solid base in advertising.
An excellent overview of all the aspects of digital advertising for people outside the industry and even people IN the industry (ahem), covering display/video, social, mobile and search advertising.
