📂 If I had to start over in marketing...

​

​

In 2017 I graduated with a business degree majoring in marketing.

I had finally landed an internship my last semester that lead to becoming the first marketing hire at Cordial.

Those 3 months were my crash course in marketing.

Sponsoring conferences, tweeting, running LinkedIn ads...

After graduating I realized that I had learned twice as much in those three months that I had in the last four years of schooling.

People ask me how I'd get into marketing if I had to do it all over again.

I probably wouldn't have gotten a marketing degree. 😬

That's why I want to tell you about Springboard's Digital Marketing Professional Certificate.

I first got introduced to Springboard from my friend Geoff Roberts, who had previously developed a course for them.

In a nutshell, Springboard is an online learning platform that develops mentor-led online programs.

They're short, intensive programs led by actual practitioners and with hands-on projects to help you build a portfolio of work.

How do you know the Digital Marketing Professional Certificate is legit?

Because I personally advised them in how to develop the content for the course.

That's not to toot my own horn.

I'm just saying... I've been around the block once or twice now. And having just been through a traditional marketing degree a few years ago, I know exactly where it falls short and what would have prepared me better in my career.

Springboard's Digital Marketing Program is my #1 recommendation for a college alternative program.

It's an immense resource whether you're looking for your first marketing job or looking to take your skills to the next level for a promotion.

Since I advised the development of the course, they were kind enough to offer the Swipe Files audience $500 off tuition in the April 11th cohort with the code SwipeFiles.
