5 Free Online Digital Marketing Courses to Boost Your Skills

Digital marketing is a flourishing and ever-evolving industry that has–especially recently–become a fundamental way of reaching consumers. To borrow the words of Bernard May in Forbes.com: “Embracing the latest e-commerce advancements is no longer a luxury but a necessity for both local businesses and global brands.”

Digital marketing pertains to advertising via digital platforms such as mobile apps, websites, search engines, emails, and social media. It is an understatement to say that digital marketing is simply a promising subgenre of marketing. The fast-paced growth of technology and today’s lifestyle changes have thrust and accentuated this field towards a more vital role in the business scene.
