Introduction
DePaul University, in conjunction with the Chicago Interactive Marketing Association (CIMA), offers a six-week certificate program for marketing professionals to improve their knowledge and application of the theory and practice of interactive marketing.
In this program, you will learn the terminology and strategy for Internet search, social media, web analytics, mobile marketing and digital display advertising from Chicago area professionals who are experts in their fields. Throughout the six weeks of study, you'll set up a simple website to practice and follow a practical case project to determine how well your social media and search skills affect analytics for your site. You will receive an Interactive Marketing Certificate from DePaul University upon successful completion of the program. To receive the certificate, you must take and pass an examination based on the terminology, applications and strategy taught in class.
Student Testimonial
"As an account manager, I'm responsible for selling display and mobile ad placements to local and regional clients. The class has not only re-enforced my current knowledge, but also given me a good understanding of the technical side of the space too. If you work in the digital industry in search, mobile, display or social segments, this is a great program that gives you a well-rounded and detailed introduction of these platforms. You'll brush up on the basics, but also get into specific examples and detailed case studies happening now. Not to mention, it's a great way to network with fellow digital professionals!"
