DIGITAL MARKETING SHORT COURSE: SYDNEY

Technology and digital media have evolved over the last decade and completely changed the way that people communicate, discover, and consume products. With more than three billion people on social media and e-commerce sales topping $4.5 trillion, every business — in Sydney, across Australia, and beyond — is embracing digital marketing to tap into new audiences, boost brand engagement, and drive bottom-line growth.

Digital markers are playing a critical role across organisations and industries in Australia and around the world, and investing in a future-proof digital marketing skill set can help you advance in your current role or explore a complete career change in a rapidly growing field. McKinley Marketing Partners’ annual trends report shows that 61% of companies surveyed plan to add digital marketers to their teams. And when it comes to digital marketing job growth in Australia, Australian government research shows that projected growth for marketing and advertising professionals with digital skills at over 11%.

Some Australia Digital Marketing Short Course graduates have gone on to enrol in one of our tech bootcamps to learn more targeted skills to bridge the gap between business and tech — from data analytics and data science, to coding and UX design.

For your final project, you’ll work on a real-world digital marketing problem, crafting an end-to-end marketing campaign plan across multiple channels. You’ll set objectives and KPIs, engage with customer research and storytelling, lay out tactics and a creative brief, and harness data to optimise your campaign. You’ll also deliver a final presentation which can serve as a campaign case study for stakeholders, future employers, or your portfolio.

We encourage you to tackle a marketing challenge that’s related to your work or a passion project you’ve been meaning to carve out time for.

Throughout the Australia digital marketing course, you’ll also complete a number of smaller projects designed to reinforce what you’ve learned in each unit.
