If your answer is yes then keep on reading!
In the five years we’ve been operating we’ve always been asked by candidates why they were not a correct fit for a job they applied for, whether at ripplemark or in any other agency. With that being said, in this blog we recommend what we believe are essential degrees in digital marketing that will give aspiring candidates a thorough overview of the industry and help enhance your knowledge of the different fields in performance and full funnel digital marketing. These courses will not, however, make you an expert in one channel of digital but will give you a great understanding of each channel separately and how they work together to achieve a business’s main objective in digital. We do not advise you to take these courses if you will put in minimal effort as these courses are expensive and require hard work and dedication from your side. Also, one thing a digital marketing novice needs to understand is that digital marketing is not something that can be taught in a few months. So even after you receive your certification you will need to constantly READ, listen to PODCASTS, apply for channel specific courses, etc. Being an entry level digital marketing professional is a constant self-learning and personal development process.
Without further ado, listed below you will find the 2 entry level degrees in digital marketing that we personally recognize at our company and highly recommend to anyone who wants to start their career in digital marketing or digital marketers who are looking for the essential digital degrees in digital marketing to help give their career a push to the right direction.
