In the Business and Digital Marketing Management diploma program at CDI College, you'll gain the knowledge and skills needed to plan, analyze, and execute online marketing campaigns as part of an advanced, business-based digital marketing strategy.

In this program, you'll get a background in business analytics, gaining an understanding of how marketers use digital tools to measure the effectiveness of their campaigns.

Learn About Marketing

One key component of the Business and Digital Marketing Management program is learning how to work with the various social media platforms and tools and how those tools and how marketers and managers can use them to promote and expand the digital reach of their businesses.

The diploma program wraps up with a 100-hour practicum placement, where you'll get an opportunity to use your new business and digital marketing skills in a real-world environment, ensuring you'll be ready to step into a marketing role upon graduation. Instead of a practicum placement, students can undertake a capstone project that will allow them to showcase the skills and experience they developed through the course of the program.
