TOP REVIEWS FROM MARKETING IN A DIGITAL WORLD

by TTJan 19, 2019

The course is amazing and has all the latest trends in Digital Marketing included. Thing I am missing is the presentation of the more traditional marketing methods as Email Marketing in more detail.

by NMJul 20, 2020

The course is wonderful. I learned so many things that I was unaware of. It is different from digital marketing courses on other platforms. I am sure it will help in improving my freelancing career.
