Digital Marketing ? a Brave New World !
2010-02-08 10:52:00 So whats all this fuss about Digital Marketing then?? Currently I am talking to a lot of people who work in Marketing who have been using traditional marketing techniques for years and are and have been very comfortable with this approach. Times are changing and as we move ever onwards into the 21st century and watch the Internet and digital technologies grow (with such new developments as Web 3.0, faster browsing capacity and download speeds etc) it seems to be that Marketing needs to move with the times as well ? hence the upsurge of interest in all aspects of Online/Digital Marketing. Almost everyone is ?plugged in? at the moment ? laptops, portable media devices, mobile phones etc ? how better to reach this ever growing mass audience with various saleable products than via digital means?

2010-01-15 17:57:00 At Cambridge Professional Academy we are hearing more and more frequently from people who are concerned about their career progression and their attractiveness to potential employers, particularly those who have recently been made redundant or have moved to the UK from abroad. Many are struggling to get even an interview for jobs that only a few years would not have been a problem. This is because despite the fact that they have years of relevant marketing experience and have been involved in a particular or even many aspects of marketing they don?t have the all important qualification, whether it is an academic one such as a degree or the more practical type such as the CIM and ISMM professional qualifications.Not surprisingly, since the economic downturn we have seen an increase in the number of people contacting us who are in this unfortunate situation. As you would expect, as the number of people being made redundant increases, the level of competition for jobs rises and emplo...
