Chief Internet Marketer enters new partnership to offer Digital Marketing Institute Certifications

Chief Internet Marketer, Inc., Tampa, FL has partnered with the Digital Marketing Institute to offer digital marketing certifications from the global professional certification standard.

Geared to help marketing and sales professionals gain the skills needed to succeed in the digital world, the Certified Digital Marketing Professional program is the most widely taught certification from the Digital Marketing Institute. It provides students with an introduction to the key digital specialisms from mobile and social media marketing to email, PPC and SEO.

As organizations allocate more budgets towards digital and its commercial responsibility moves away from the IT department into sales and marketing, Chief Internet Marketer sees programs like the Digital Marketing Institute's as the next frontier of training and professional certification. “The digital jobs and skills gap is real, as a former adjunct professor and digital marketing agency owner, I see it every day.” Says Jeff Stanislow, CEO of Chief Internet Marketer. “I evaluated many courses and chose the DMI as the content is superior, and the examination process validates the skills learned,” added Stanislow.

Taught in over 80 countries around the world, Digital Marketing Institute certifications are internationally recognized. Designed by digital experts and validated by digital heavy hitters such as Google and Facebook, its certifications bring up-to-date industry knowledge and training that meet the needs of today's employers.

Ken Fitzpatrick, CEO at the Digital Marketing Institute said: “Digital marketing and digital sales continue to be massive growth areas of international business. Despite this, demand is outpacing the availability of professionals with proficient digital skillsets. We are excited to partner with Chief Internet Marketer who will deliver our suite of professional certifications to a new cohort of professionals in the United States, Canada, and Mexico and contribute to the closing of the digital skills gap globally.”
