The course was very relevant to my day-to-day job and the challenges I deal with. The lecturer was great, he really knew what he was talking about and gave great insights into how to deploy the learnings and what kind of outcomes take place when his anonymised clients did certain strategies. The teaching was fast paced and to the point which was very welcome. It was an easy environment to ask questions or ask to re-explain elements, which is gold. I would recommend this course to anybody who wants to keep up with the ever-changing world of digital marketing.
