As documented by Karthik Srinavas

My name is Karthik, and I am currently working as a Digital Marketing Manager at GreenHonchos, a prominent digital marketing agency in Bangalore. To enhance my skills and knowledge in the field, I recently completed the Post Graduate Program In Digital Marketing by Simplilearn in collaboration with Purdue University. Additionally, I am currently enrolled in the IIT Roorkee Business Analytics for Strategic Decision Making course offered by Simplilearn.

Let me share a bit about my professional journey. After graduating with a degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2017, I began my career as a BPO executive, gaining experience over two years. During the pandemic, I discovered my interest in digital marketing and started learning through various online resources such as YouTube and Google’s digital garage. This newfound passion led me to join a small Digital Marketing Agency in Coimbatore as an intern, where I further honed my skills. Eventually, I secured a full-time role as an SEO executive and expanded my expertise to include managing Google and Facebook ads for clients. I have relocated to Bangalore and taken on the role of Performance Marketing Manager at a larger digital marketing agency, resulting in a significant 30% salary increase.

Enrollment Decision and Career Goals:

The decision to upskill in digital marketing was driven by my desire to gain comprehensive knowledge and obtain a certification that would strengthen my resume. After thorough research, I chose Simplilearn’s Professional Certification Program in Digital Marketing, which spanned over six months. My overall experience with Simplilearn was excellent. The blended learning approach, comprising six modules covering various aspects of digital marketing, provided me with a well-rounded understanding of the field. Each module had a fundamentals and advanced section, ensuring I grasped the concepts thoroughly. The assessments at the end of each module helped solidify my knowledge.

My Career journey so far

I am a design enthusiast with over 7 years of experience in the industry. I started as a Web Designer in 2015 at an MNC and, with time, gained experience in creating websites and apps. After getting multiple feedback from the sales team about our technical design having an impact on marketing goals, I became interested in learning branding and marketing. Hence, I decided to learn and explore the marketing side of the business and came across Digital Marketing. 

The Challenge

With a growing interest in digital marketing, my ambition for promotion and higher pay led me to upskill. As much as I was looking for opportunities to upgrade my skill set, I wanted to advance in my professional career, and digital marketing seemed to be the right choice for me. So, after rigorous research, I enrolled myself in the Digital Marketing Specialist Certification from Simplilearn as a step toward my upskilling journey.  

The Simplilearn Solution

Learning from Simplilearn was amazing. With tons of exercises to work on, I was exposed to industry-like cases that helped me a lot. The live sessions were based on my availability, with a very flexible and convenient schedule. For me, blended learning has to be the top feature as live sessions coupled with self-paced learning were a very effective learning approach for working professionals like me. I thank the mentors and the team for providing a wonderful learning journey and the best career counselling.

Working in the corporate world for more than fourteen years enriched me with loads of practical experience, knowledge, and skills. I also worked as a career counselor and branding during that period. However, with an urge to face more challenges and brush my conceptual understanding, I decided to change my career path. I was willing to educate students on the core concepts to students but was limited by the unavailability of a degree. This led to the beginning of a new journey that involved Simplilearn.   

The Journey 

I hold diverse experiences, with the first eleven years of expertise coming from the area of sales and marketing, concept selling, team building, and people management. I worked in brand names like Naukri.com and Rediff.com, which helped my professional development. Apart from this, I
