Programme Overview

With consumers increasingly using digital platform for searching, exploring, examining and purchasing products and services, building and refining a digital brand management strategy is paramount for customer-oriented organisation. However, while consumers have transitioned from brick and mortar to click, building trust and engagement in digital marketplace has not been easy for most organisations. A strategy that worked in the non-digital world, does not transfer itself into the digital domain.

The Footprint Digital course provided me with a unique opportunity to explore digital marketing in a friendly and intellectually stimulating environment. 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.

“I enjoyed everyday on the training course, and learnt so much.”

“I was also absolutely fascinated by Footprint’s company culture, it’s vision and core values.”
Dana Storozhuk, 2016

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.

Before embarking on the Footprint Course I had very little knowledge of Digital Strategy! 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 course, and learnt so much!

“I learned loads.”

Good luck!

We look forward to hearing from you.
