Why Digital Marketing Matters

We consulted with multiple Fortune 500 companies and successful startups to identify the key areas in which existing marketing curricula failed to prepare students for the realities of marketing roles in the modern workforce. We took those learnings and created a certificate that distills the most important, practical, and resume-relevant skills of today.
