Reviews
Very informative and helpful to a digital marketer like me. Substantial and full of techniques that can apply in the field.
The course content is good but it should have included more video content. It was almost all reading assignments
I think being more clear on the fact that the discussions are key to finishing the course would be helpful. I had to go back through and respond to the questions. :)
This course has pretty good content and I believe it's an excellent introduction to digital advertising.
