“I really cannot thank you enough… it has been an amazing day with a balanced time on practice and on theory…I want to explore these topics more and I am glad that I have been given this opportunity” – 2022 Cohort Member

Work in digital and you’ll have a varied career in an ever-changing industry.

Getting your first job out of university can be challenging – you need that something extra to set you apart. University will have given you the theory and ideas for a marketing career, but how does that translate in the real world?

Our Academy is delivered by some of the best Digital Marketers who will help you gain valuable practical experience and confidence.

You’ll examine real-life campaigns, discovering why some things worked – and why others didn’t.

You’ll audit a website and create a digital marketing strategy, before exploring SEO and how to make search engines like Google rank your website higher.

Our paid search experts will show you how to build a high-performing paid advertising campaign, and then you’ll look at what makes people convert on a website.

On day five, everything is tied together with a review of the project management and communication skills needed to make a marketing strategy flourish.

Testimonials for Footprint as Educators

One of the major advantages of this course is the combination of lectures about essential digital marketing topics and exercises, where theory and practice are combined. Before starting this course I was completely unfamiliar with principles of conversion rate optimisation (CRO), pay per click (PPC) advertising and search engine optimisation (SEO). Thanks to Footprint’s professional expertise and very engaging teaching approach, today I feel much more confident using these digital marketing practices in daily life.

The team at Footprint Digital were supportive and friendly from the start, and it was clear how much work they had put into creating the course. They were all fantastic teachers, and delivered each session brilliantly. The broke the topics down into manageable chunks, answered question after question, and explained everything so that we could understand. I enjoyed every day on the training course, and learnt so much!

Firstly, everyone there was so welcoming, kind, and so so experienced. Secondly, the amount that I learned during the course was incredibly invaluable. My knowledge during the course grew exponentially on SEO, PPC, CRO and many other aspects to digital marketing including Google Analytics, tracking, site build and migration to project management and social media.
