Live Online Best Practices in Digital Marketing & Brand Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Oct 26, 2026 · from USD 800
Customers now discover, compare and judge organisations online before they ever speak to a salesperson. A clear brand and a disciplined digital plan decide whether a business is found, trusted and chosen, while scattered posting and unmeasured spending waste small budgets quickly. This five-day programme gives marketers a structured approach that connects brand to measurable results.
You define brand positioning, voice and visual consistency, build customer personas and map the buyer journey from awareness to loyalty. Practical sessions cover search engine optimisation, content calendars, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and WhatsApp Business, email and SMS campaigns, Google Ads and Meta Ads, and reputation and community management. You learn to set campaign goals and budgets, test creative, and read Google Analytics 4 and platform reports to decide what to continue, change or stop. Examples reflect East African markets, including mobile-first audiences and mobile money payments. The programme suits marketing and communications officers, brand managers, small business owners, sales and customer experience teams, and NGO or public sector communicators. It is offered in the classroom, online or in-house, with a CPD-accredited certificate. You finish with a ninety-day digital plan for your own brand.

About this course
Marketing has moved onto screens, and for many Kenyan and African consumers that screen is a phone. Organisations of every size now compete for attention in crowded feeds, search results and messaging apps. Those that succeed treat digital marketing as a connected system rather than a set of separate posts: a distinctive brand, content that serves real customer needs, channels chosen for their audience and numbers that show what works.
The Best Practices in Digital Marketing & Brand Training Course takes participants through that system in a logical order. It begins with brand strategy, covering purpose, positioning, tone of voice and the experience customers should have at each touchpoint. It then examines how to build audience personas and journeys, plan content, and choose between organic and paid channels. Specific sessions teach search optimisation, social media management, email and messaging campaigns, advertising platforms, influencer partnerships and online reputation. The closing sessions focus on measurement, budgeting, testing and improving campaigns over time.
The course is workshop based. Participants work on a brand or campaign of their choice, producing a positioning statement, content calendar, sample adverts and a dashboard of key metrics, so that they can start applying the ideas on their return to work.
Training Objectives
At the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Define brand positioning, values and tone of voice that remain consistent across channels.

- Manage organic and paid campaigns on social media and search platforms.
