Don't stop learning! Understand your strengths and passions and move those forward. Put as much into practical use as possible.

Tell us a bit about your story before the Digital Marketing Institute.

I worked for an affiliate marketing network but I felt that my digital knowledge was a little lacking so I chose the Digital Marketing Institute to help expand my knowledge.

What influenced your decision to study in the Digital Field?

I worked with some great affiliates based in Dublin and I got a tip off from someone who has provided content for the Digital Marketing Institute and who teaches digital media.

Why did you choose to study your course in the Digital Marketing Institute?

To gain a wider understanding of the digital marketing landscape especially in mobile and social media.

Since completing the course in the Digital Marketing Institute, how has your career progressed?

I moved from an affiliate network in England to Carat in Sweden where I work as a Digital and Social Media Specialist. Without taking the course I doubt I would have made the move to Sweden. Now I'm in my dream job.

Is there any advice you would give to new or future students at the Digital Marketing Institute?

Don't stop learning! Understand your strengths and passions and move those forward. Put as much into practical use as possible.

In one word, how would you describe your time in the Digital Marketing Institute?
