Why Learn Digital Marketing?

Digital marketing is a well loved career path by creatives and scientists alike, because there's room for all kinds of professionals under the marketing umbrella. If you're more of an artist, you can get into the copywriting and content creation side. If you're more maths minded, you can focus on building a speciality in data analytics and tracking. If you like a bit of both, well...take your pick of jobs!

Being fun is all well and good, but what about demand? Digital marketing is consistently found at the top of many 'best jobs' lists, including LinkedIn's ranking of most in-demand jobs. Globally the digital marketing industry is set to grow to $1.3 trillion in 2033. That's an annual growth rate of 13.6% from 2023.

In short, digital marketing isn't going anywhere and digital marketing skills can take you anywhere!
