Ratings and Reviews
Great course. Learnt a lot about the Digital marketing Landscape and its relevance in today's fast paced digital World.
Liked the content and picked up skills I can apply today. Some of it was repetitive which dragged the course a little longer and many short videos that could have been condensed.
This is a great course that gives one a clear understanding of the Digital Landscape.

AD
Good course that introduced a wide range of channels that are used in digital marketing, all though at times the concepts were rudimentary, which is understandable if you are catering to various different education/experience levels.
My one criticism was the way some of the lecture videos were cut up into small segments - there was a lot of time wasted waiting for each video to load and with the intro music, and the content would have flowed more smoothly if it was just one or two videos.
