Marketers are often building cyber assets — websites, blogs, Facebook pages, LinkedIn profiles, YouTube brand channels and so on — because everyone seems to be doing so. Not much thought goes into the strategy or the execution. The outcome is a collection of disconnected properties that diffuse and disorient their brand, and confuse customers.

It is crucially important that before you implement anything on the internet, you have a cohesive strategy that integrates all offline and online brand assets, such that all the elements play well-coordinated, yet distinct roles. That your brand’s communication and imagery remains intact as customers move across the media platforms, yet each channel contributes incrementally to its equity.

This workshop will help you achieve these outcomes. It will give you a clear understanding of the building blocks that constitute digital marketing, and equip you with the tools, the techniques and the knowledge to develop cohesive market strategies, and prepare and execute effective digital marketing campaigns.

Importantly, the workshop imparts hands-on training on the digital tools and techniques. Participants will learn to use platforms such as Google Search Console, Google Analytics and Google Ads to execute online marketing initiatives, run search and display advertising campaigns, and track and optimize performance.

The instructor is a practitioner of digital marketing and will use real life case examples from established businesses such as PropLog and Knight Frank, as well as entrepreneurs such as artist Sangeeta Charan.

The course combines well with the Digital Marketing eGuide, which charts out a well-structured learning agenda that is adopted in the workshop.

NOTE: The Digital Marketing eGuide is also covered within the MarketingMind platform, under ‘DIGITAL’.
