Live Online Executive Digital Marketing & Brand Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 2, 2026 · from USD 800
Digital channels absorb a growing share of marketing budgets, but senior leaders often approve plans they cannot fully judge, and brands drift when social, search and content teams pull in different directions. Five days give executives the grounding to steer. You examine brand architecture and positioning, customer journeys, search and social advertising, content and email marketing, marketing automation and CRM, influencer partnerships, reputation management and e-commerce. Measurement sessions teach you to read funnel metrics, customer acquisition cost, lifetime value, attribution and return on ad spend, and to question dashboards produced by agencies.
The programme is designed for marketing directors, heads of brand, general managers, business owners, communications and corporate affairs executives, sales leaders and board members in companies, banks, hospitality groups, institutions and growing enterprises. Case work covers consumer, business-to-business and service brands in African and global markets. Afterwards you can sharpen a brand proposition, build a channel mix and budget, write a clear agency brief, set targets and scorecards, and lead a team through a campaign calendar. Attend in a classroom in cities such as Nairobi, Dubai or Cape Town, online, or in-house, and earn a CPD-accredited certificate.

About this course
Customers discover, compare and buy through screens. Search results, social feeds, messaging apps and reviews shape perception long before a sales conversation starts, and competitors of every size can reach the same audiences. For executives this raises two challenges: building a brand that is distinctive and trusted across channels, and deciding where limited funds will return the most. Leaders who delegate everything to specialists risk wasted spend and inconsistent messages.
This executive programme equips senior decision makers to direct digital marketing with confidence. It starts with strategy: market and customer insight, brand purpose, positioning, personality and architecture. Participants then map the customer journey and study the main digital levers, including search engine optimisation, paid search and social, content, email and messaging, influencer collaboration and online reputation. Discussion of data and measurement follows, covering web analytics, funnels, attribution, customer acquisition cost, lifetime value and testing, along with the governance of data privacy. Closing sessions address organising teams and agencies, budgeting, risk and crisis response, and building a twelve-month plan.
Learning is discussion rich and tied to participants' own businesses. Short briefings, brand clinics, live reviews of real campaigns and planning workshops produce a draft strategy that each executive can take back and present.
Training Objectives
Participants will be able to:
- Define brand purpose, positioning and architecture for their organisation.
- Map customer journeys and match digital channels to each stage.
- Evaluate search, social, content, email and influencer options against objectives.
- Allocate budgets across channels and justify them with expected returns.
- Interpret funnel, attribution, acquisition cost and lifetime value metrics.
- Write effective briefs and scorecards for agencies and in-house teams.
- Protect brand reputation through consistent standards and crisis response.
- Present a twelve-month digital marketing plan to a board or leadership team.
