TOP REVIEWS FROM MARKETING IN A DIGITAL WORLD
It is one of the best learning course that I have enrolled so for. Sir explained everything in such a manner that I was able to connect with the market itself. That's the real beauty of this course.
Very informative, but I wish some of the videos and tools were more up-to-date. As we all know, Digital Marketing is constantly updating with new tactics, so even 2-3 years can make a big difference.
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.
Good course. Please reduce the length of the repetitive music in the beginning and at the end of each video; around 25 seconds waste of time on a short video. Overall, many thanks for these courses.
