Course overview

Double* your digital marketing department's efficiency in less than 1 year

Maximizing Marketing ROI, Selecting the Right KPIs, Retaining Talent, Reducing Cost of Customer Acquisition, Meeting Deadlines, Aligning Marketing & Sales...

the challenges of managing a digital marketing department seem neverending.


My proven, easy to implement methodology cuts through the noise and helps you build, manage, and scale your digital marketing department, without the stress, despite the unknowns.


In this weekend course,

I'll show you what you may be missing currently in your overall digital marketing practice.

I'll give you an overview of the precise actions you need to take to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be in ONE year. 


If you implement this methodology correctly, you wouldn't have to worry about problems such as:

> Wasted media budgets

> Underutilized marketing technology

> Wrong hires (employees, agency or contractors)

> High attrition

> Disengaged workforce

> Subjective and speculative decision making

> Lost opportunity costs

> Wasted time and effort


This course does NOT teach you digital marketing strategies and tactics such as SEO, Social Media, Email Marketing, etc.


Instead, you will learn how to build a team properly, setup the right processes and tools; so that your team consistently gets you all the LEADs and SALEs that you always hoped for, and some more.
