Customers now find, compare and judge organisations online long before anyone speaks to them. Five days give newcomers to marketing a clear, practical grounding in how to be found, trusted and chosen on digital channels. The programme starts with brand basics: positioning, voice, visual identity and promise, then moves to defining target audiences, building personas and mapping the customer journey from awareness to loyalty. Channel sessions introduce website essentials, search engine optimisation, content marketing, social media on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X and WhatsApp Business, email and SMS campaigns, and an introduction to paid search and social advertising.
You then learn to plan a campaign with objectives, budget, calendar and message, and to measure it with Google Analytics, platform insights and basic KPIs such as reach, click-through rate, conversion and cost per lead. Each participant builds a small campaign plan for a real or sample brand. The course suits marketing assistants, sales and customer service staff, small business owners, startup founders, NGO communication officers and graduates entering marketing. It can be taken in the classroom, online or in-house, and a CPD-accredited certificate is issued at the end.
Digital channels have become the main way many East African customers, donors and partners learn about products and services. Small businesses, banks, schools and NGOs that cannot present a consistent brand online lose attention to competitors who can, and even large organisations struggle to turn clicks into customers. Marketing without measurement wastes budget, so a sound foundation matters.
Fundamentals of Digital Marketing and Brand Training Course starts from first principles and assumes no technical background. Participants explore what a brand is and how it is expressed across a website, social profiles and messages. They then work through the main channels one at a time, learning what each is best used for, how to produce suitable content and how to avoid common mistakes. A final block teaches planning, budgeting and measurement so that activity can be linked to results.
Each topic is followed by a short practical task on the participant own laptop or phone, and the course finishes with a campaign plan presented to the group. By the final day delegates can speak the language of agencies and manage simple campaigns with confidence.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
