Digital Marketing

Digital marketers are planners and creative strategists.

Every online product and service needs a digital marketer to find the people who would most enjoy it, then bring them to the door. Digital marketers dream up exciting online campaigns that speak to their target audience, then find the best channels to reach them. Many digital marketers choose to specialize in certain areas, like Search Engine Optimization (SEO), social media, content, or email marketing.

Digital marketers spend their days understanding the needs of their target audience, translating business goals into creative online marketing campaigns, and staying on top of digital media trends. If you love planning events, playing strategy games, creating social buzz, or even finding the perfect gift for that friend who has everything, then digital marketing is a perfect job for you.

Skillcrush Reviews

You don’t have to go back to school. You don’t need to be under 30, 40, or even 60. You don’t have to leave your job or take time off. You don’t even have to know a single thing about code—if you can download a file, you’re tech-savvy enough.

  • I like how I don’t have a boss blowing down my neck 9-5 making sure that I’ll do my work. I like how I can do my work when it fits with my general workflow (sometimes that’s late at night). It also gives me the freedom to price myself, continuing to build my self-confidence to stand up for my worth.

  • Just weeks ago, I was hired full-time as a web design manager at a digital marketing firm. I’ve more than doubled my salary and now get perks like an additional annual bonus, three weeks vacation, and flex time… all thanks to Skillcrush.

    Margie Southworth

    Web Design Manager

  • I dove into my Front End Developer Course in March and April while I was living in Europe, and then I returned home and started freelancing. Honestly, I didn’t even finish the course until November…. I was so busy taking on work that didn’t need it!
