Work in digital and you’ll have a varied career in a fascinating industry that doesn’t stand still. There are new changes and challenges all year round, every year, which means that you’re always on your toes and always learning.

Getting your first job out of university can be challenging, as you’re entering a crowded job market and you need that little something extra to set you apart. University has done a great job of giving you the key ideas and concepts that you’ll need in work, but how does that actually translate in the real world?

Luckily, we’re here to help!

Our Academy is delivered by some of the best Digital Marketers in the country who will help you gain that oh-so-valuable practical experience and confidence in just one week.

You’ll find yourself looking at real-life examples of campaigns that have been run and discovering why things worked – and why some others didn’t. There’s an in-depth look at how to audit a website and create a digital marketing strategy based on that, before exploring SEO and how to make the most of search engines like Google, Bing, and Baidu like your website. Next, PPC is the topic de jour, looking at how to build a high-performing paid search campaign, and then moving on to discover what makes people convert on a website. On the final day, it’s all brought together with a review of the project management and communication skills needed to make a 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.

Dana Storozhuk
Alexandra Eade

The Footprint Academy course definitely helped me to broaden my professional and personal horizons. I would definitely recommend it to any online business seeking professional digital marketing support or anyone who is interested in enhancing digital marketing skills.

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!

Lori Cantwell
Reuben Marshall

I really enjoyed the course and felt like I learned a huge amount, something which has come in handy as I was offered a full-time position which I have recently started. I cannot recommend the Footprint Academy or the company as a whole more highly!

As a novice to SEO, PPC, and the like, and it was perfectly pitched so that I could understand everything. Now working in the industry, the course at Footprint Digital was essential to making that happen. A wonderful course delivered by wonderful, friendly, knowledgeable people, who are clearly experts in their field and have great relationships with their clients. Vital skills for businesses in the modern world, essential for anyone studying marketing at Uni or similar.

Thomas Rowson
Justine Duncan

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.

I completed the Digital Marketing Executive course with Footprint Digital over the summer and it was a very interesting and rewarding experience. I have a background working in search engine optimisation and it was very useful to learn about the other elements that make up Digital Marketing.
