John Charles Jove
VP, Global Sales PepsiCo
This was an outstanding course! I started the program thinking it might be a bit theoretical but came away with an understanding, as a digital migrant, of how to market in the digital world! I appreciated the holistic view of the digital customer journey and tools that can be used to influence. And I appreciated the global perspective of digital regulations. I did not network as much as I could have but I did learn from other classmates. And the online support was fast, and friendly! Great program would definitely recommend a high net promoter!
