About the course
Overview
This intensive two-day course is a great place to start your digital marketing training. It gives marketers a complete overview the digital marketing landscape including all the essential disciplines, how they fit together and how to assess what’s right for your strategy and where you need further in-depth learning.
Program
Fast Track Digital Marketing is Econsultancy’s most popular course globally and it’s been rebuilt from the ground up in 2013 to take into account the very latest considerations facing organisations in their digital marketing.
The course helps make sense of the rise of digital by examining the technological evolution that has driven social and behavioural change. Many of the implications are yet to be known but a robust strategic approach that experienced offline marketers will recognise will be presented to help everyone involved in digital approach its themes with rigour.
The aim of the course is to equip delegates with the confidence, the tools and the techniques to build the right digital strategy for their organisations, including:
Attraction
- Search Engine Marketing (content) and Paid Search
- Display and Interactive Media
- Social Media - video, social media outreach, online PR
- Affiliate marketing
- Mobile
Conversion
- Mobile
- Usability and Web Design
- Conversion Rate Optimisation
Retention
- Email Marketing
- Social Media
- Mobile
Analysis

Who should attend?
This course is ideal for those with experience of traditional, offline, marketing but less exposure to online marketing channels, or those with experience in specific digital disciplines, who want to know how different channels can fit together. It’s equally refreshing and rewarding for people who have been “doing” digital for some time but want to set their experiences in context and discover new approaches.

- Had the input of an expert trainer to answer questions and explore the immediate challenges you’re facing, as well as the opportunity to network and learn from others
- Realised how much you already know and enjoyed sharing your knowledge with others
- Had an enjoyable, thought-provoking two days!
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Weave together acquisition and retention tools to deliver an efficient digital marketing strategy
- Try out all the key techniques for yourself using a range of tricks, tips, website tools, links and handy guides
- Approach the commissioning of digital services with more knowledge and confidence and be able to deflect trendy jargon
