Technological innovations are on an exponential rise, and so is the demand for skilled professionals. I knew expanding my skill set would certainly be  the best gift I could give myself. It would not only help me stay updated but also bring in a fresh breeze of change– a new career altogether. 

My Journey

Born and raised in Guwahati, I completed my graduation in Economics from Handique’s Girls College and pursued MBA in Marketing and Finance from Gauhati University. I bagged my first job at HDFC Bank as a Relationship Manager and worked there for 1.5 years. Later I joined Lets See Tour and Travels as a Sales Manager and dedicated six months to the firm. It was in 2016 that I joined Royal Research as an Academic Researcher, and my career saw a massive change. Relishing the change, I worked dedicatedly for 6 months and was promoted to Team Lead. My efforts didn’t budge, and after 2 years, I advanced to the Manager position. I led HR Operations and Administration, Recruitment and Onboarding, Market Research, Content Writing, Social Media Management, Vendor Management, and Corporate Affairs.

Newer Responsibilities Brought Along the Need To Upskill

When entrusted with the responsibility of monitoring the content team of my organization, I felt the need to upskill myself. I also had to supervise the marketing managers regarding the sales and content material they created for the company’s digital and social media platforms. 

The position required me to supervise and provide guidance to the team. I felt a strong urge to master the domain and then extend my knowledge to others for the organization’s benefit.

My Journey & Challenges

With 33 years of Industrial experience in Manufacturing, Quality Systems, Plant commissioning, Market survey, New Product and Application development, Marketing and Sales Management and High-level customer engagement, I realized Digital Marketing had become a dire need to thrive in the constantly evolving technical environment. Why shouldn’t I explore the zenith of online marketing too when I was already acing offline? And so, I went for a PGP in Digital Marketing course to upskill myself and gain better knowledge of the Digital Marketing domain.

Finding Simplilearn The Most Suitable for Learning Digital Marketing 

When looking for online digital marketing courses, I came across Simplilearn’s Professional Certificate Program In Digital Marketing. Initially, I was planning to opt for multiple courses, but Simplilearn’s comprehensive course structure came as a complete package. The global recognition and collaboration with Purdue University and Meta Blueprint helped me decide that this program deserved a plunge. 

A well-defined curriculum, nicely laid study material and amazing video lessons made learning enjoyable in a friendly atmosphere. There were simple tests after every lesson to brush up on the learning. The analysis of the answers propelled knowledge. Learning was made easier with a great faculty in addition to feedback sessions and timely help from the support team. Each class feedback session brought along a willingness to improve, and I could see my domain knowledge expand.

Digital Marketing is one of the fastest-growing domains in current times. Therefore, I decided to make a career in this field only. I graduated in Business Management and then pursued MBA in Finance and Marketing. After completing higher studies, I worked as a Web Content Specialist for over 7 years, and then I felt like I should upskill myself to aim for a higher role in this industry.  

The Learning Journey 

While researching for the right course, I focused on a program that offers flexibility and upskilling in digital marketing. Simplilearn offers both with its Digital Marketing Master’s Program. I wanted to find a job right away after completing this course. The course curriculum is interesting, flexible as well as engaging. It includes almost everything about Digital Marketing, like Content Marketing, SEO, PPC, mobile marketing, analytics and much more. The instructors of this course are also beneficial as they teach their students about the essential elements of this course. 

I grew more confident about this field as I learned from the industry professionals that Simplilearn has in this course. The live sessions with the instructors were super helpful and interactive and they were always ready to take questions. Studying after so long is complicated, but the teaching methodology is simple enough to pursue. I could take notes, learn proactively and see it come live through learning tools. Simplilearn is acing its course curriculum with the right combination of technology and instructors.

Since completing my bachelor’s in hotel management from the PES Institute of Hotel Management in Bangalore, I have held various jobs in different industries. I first worked with Kingfisher Airlines as a guest service agent. In 2009, I switched to a sales career and joined Virgin Mobile India as a territory sales manager. Later, after holding various jobs, I became the director of business development for iBizzo.com, a B2B E-marketplace PAN India catering to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME). My role at iBizzo.com involves business expansion, customer acquisition and retention, budgeting, and sales forecasting.

Working in the e-commerce industry involves a considerable amount of technology and innovation. Although I have more than a dozen years of sales experience, I needed to upskill myself in digital marketing and learn more about marketing as a whole since I once had started my own venture.

I enrolled in Simplilearn’s Digital Marketing Specialist course which exposed me to a broad range of digital marketing tools and provided me with project experience I could use in my career.

Currently, I work in Al Salmiyah, Kuwait, as an immigration specialist for Stratix Consultants. 

Simplilearn’s quality curriculum

I had a great experience learning using Simplilearn. As one with little experience in the digital marketing world, Simplilearn taught me many new things I can apply to my business and personal interests. The features I liked best about the Digital Marketing Specialist Master’s program were the curriculum structure, the quality of the teaching faculty, and the self-learning videos, which offers a lot of additional details.

When the pandemic came over in 2020 and colleges went shut, I discovered my virtual classroom that has made all the difference in my life. I am Yogesh Kasabe, a BBA graduate who completed BBA during the pandemic and was eager to excel in the corporate world with honed skills and knowledge. 

Hailing from Pune, Maharashtra, I am currently a Performance Marketing Manager at Hexanovate. But back in 2020, digital marketing was new to me, and I had just a basic idea about the domain. 

Learning Digital Marketing with Simplilearn

Looking for an online degree, I came across Simplilearn’s Digital Marketing Specialist Master’s Program. Not very sure whether Simplilearn is good or bad, I dedicated hours to researching Simplilearn complaints, feedback, and ratings. When I discovered this course was rated #1 by the Search Engine Journal, I decided to go for it. Looking back today, I am proud of my decision to join the course. 

I cannot thank Simplilearn enough for providing such a wonderful platform for learning in the toughest situation. They made it really easy to learn. In fact, I am very grateful that I had the privilege to learn under such renowned trainers. 

The perfect blend of live classes + self-paced learning heightens the overall experience. I strongly recommend this course to all learners who wish to expand their skill set while exploring the in-depth knowledge of various in-demand technologies.

I live in Frankfurt, Germany, and for the past 22 years, I have been working for BASF, a large chemical production company. I am currently the director of digital strategy after working in many different roles. I have been a part of BASF’s business development team, strategy team, sales team, engineering team, and commercial leadership. While the company has a business-to-business orientation, there is a greater emphasis on inbound digital marketing strategies. Because I only had a rudimentary knowledge of digital marketing, I knew there was a gap in my skillset I needed to address. After researching my educational options, I enrolled in the online Professional Certificate Program in Digital Marketing course from Simplilearn. 

So far, my learning experience with Simplilearn has been rewarding. While I haven’t completed the entire course, I have derived a lot of value, which has increased my confidence.  

Keeping Up with Change

I firmly believe that people should keep learning at every stage of their profession because the world is changing as fast as ever, especially for those at managerial and leadership levels. For example, I faced digital marketing-related challenges over the past few years. Because my educational background consisted of classical marketing, I knew I needed to upskill my talents.

Before choosing Simplilearn, I researched and even started taking a course on a competitor’s website; but I wasn’t satisfied. I found that Simplilearn had a superior offering content-wise, and the cost was very affordable. 

Simplilearn has been an enriching experience, I think online classes offer a good value, and the flexibility of learning on your own time is a cherry on top of the cake. There was a good balance between practical and theoretical learning and a good interaction level between learners and instructors. The self-learning modules are precious, and I refer to them regularly.

Pursuing the teaching profession for 13+ years, I felt my work-life was turning monotonous, so I decided to upskill myself. 

Finding Simplilearn

I was looking for opportunities online to learn Digital Marketing. I came across various platforms, but when I went through Simplilearn’s website, I knew I had landed on the right page. On seeing the extensive yet comprehensive curriculum, I made up my mind. Also, the course’s price is lesser than other platforms.

I enrolled in Simplilearn’s PG Program in Digital Marketing, and after attending the initial lectures, I was sure I had made the right choice. My experience was great, and I believe it is the best platform to upskill yourself. 

Being from the teaching profession, I precisely understand the importance of the curriculum structure and the faculties, which were well-organized at Simplilearn. I thoroughly enjoyed the live classes by instructors like Mr Mayank, Mr Jayant and Mr Manjunath.

I did a lot of research before finalizing the course. Simplilearn’s Digital Marketing Specialist course program came across as a perfect combination of all the features I had been looking for. The modules were explained in-depth, there were regular updates of the course that made it more interesting, and the curriculum provided complete knowledge of every digital marketing domain in a systematic manner.

The instructors were amazing, too, and they used real-life practical examples. Moreover, the group projects were very helpful and flexible. I enjoyed the live classes by Mr Bernadette Chambers. The Simplilearn customer care was amazingly helpful and quick. I would certainly recommend this course to any learner seeking a professional master’s program with much-needed flexibility.

My story is similar to a lot of IT professionals who changed their journey midway through in search for something more. While I started in the IT industry, I knew I wanted to do so much more, and digital marketing definitely seemed to call me with arms wide open. 

The more I learned about about digital marketing, the more I loved it. Before I knew it I was picking up as many courses on digital marketing as possible and eventually finally shifting my career goals to include digital marketing. Here’s a look at my professional  journey.

Background

An IIM Kozhikode graduate, I spent 13 years in the IT and telecom industry, lending my expertise to global business development and product management before realizing my passion for digital marketing and growth hacking.

Learning Journey

I started my digital marketing career by venturing into my first start-up, a hyper-local online grocery store called Combyn, that connected consumers with grocery stores in their neighborhood. I was having trouble building an online audience, so I decided to update my digital marketing skills to help me find a better connect.

I decided to take a course in digital marketing and shortlisted courses from different training providers based on three parameters: quality, depth of content and the price. I wanted a self-paced course in digital marketing to ensure that I could take the classes while I worked and enrolled in Simplilearn’s Digital Marketing Certified Associate.

The project-based work and instructive videos that were part of Simplilearn’s course helped me maintain a strong pace through the classes, and my interest grew with each session.
