Show you have the latest knowledge by becoming a Professional Certified Marketer® in Digital Marketing. The American Marketing Association created a program that’s as flexible as your schedule, but rigorous enough to prove you have the knowledge needed to advance your digital marketing career.
Given the technical aspect of the marketing industry, professionals at all levels are eventually required to learn new skills. The core principles remain the same; however, the tools used to achieve success are constantly changing.
Every marketer has a specific set of strengths and weaknesses that influence their performance. Addressing your weaknesses and gaining solid command of a particular skill or software may make a tremendous difference in your career.
With the AMA certification program you will become an expert in highly desirable areas of marketing. Upon completion, participants are likely to pursue leadership positions with higher salaries.
The demand and enrollment of certificates have increased within the last ten years. A recovering economy created a very competitive job market that required applicants to present relevant tangible skills found within certifications programs. The U.S. Census Bureau recently researched industry based certifications and found that more than 3 million certificates are awarded yearly. Additionally “400,000 people across the globe found that after completing an online certification, 76 percent reported a salary increase or promotion. And when compared with non certified professionals, those who had completed an online certification were also more likely to report higher levels of confidence and fulfillment at work”.
