COURSE DESCRIPTION

5-Step Digital Advertising Framework

Consumers in Singapore spend more than two thirds of their waking hours on digital devices daily, with the top gadget used being the smartphone. With the advent of the smartphone, digital disruption is here to stay and brands need to adopt a customer-focused digital strategy to cut through the noise and stay relevant.

Digital advertising is one of the ways to efficiently reach a wide targeted audience and effectively deliver timely and relevant marketing messages to achieve marketing and business objectives. A well-developed and well-targeted digital advertising campaign can benefit your business in the following ways:

Significantly improve brand recall (by consistently displaying your ads to your target audience) and drive brand awareness and interaction
Showcase your ads to relevant customers at appropriate stages of the consumer buying journey, increasing the likelihood of securing purchase
Amplify the synergy between both online and offline channels (Omni-channel) and to deliver a consistent omni-channel customer experience
Increase your reach – as consumers today spend a significant amount of time on digital devices (mobile, tablet, desktop)

This 2-day Digital Advertising course provides you with a realistic and practical setting where proper understanding and interpretation of how each digital advertising channel functions and performs beats sloppy guesswork and assumptions.

To better facilitate the learning, a mix of group work, discussions, case studies, and role-playing will be used. Packed with a combination of successful and unsuccessful real world case studies, you will learn how to identify and avoid costly mistakes and most importantly develop and implement successful Digital Advertising campaigns.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)

What is the difference between online classroom and face-to-face traditional classroom?

Typically, in a traditional classroom, classes are conducted with 1 trainer to 20 – 25 learners in a cluster or classroom seating format. Group discussions, group presentations, lectures, peer-to-peer coaching are all conducted face-to-face (in person).

In an online-based classroom, lessons will be delivered via a video conferencing software. Lectures will be conducted via screensharing, while group discussions and group brainstorming will be conducted via “breakout” rooms (individual virtual rooms) to split up discussions into smaller groups.

Read the Online-based Classroom Learner Guide for a more detailed comparison on both formats.

What is Digital Advertising?

Digital Advertising is a medium of digital marketing that uses any form of digital ads to deliver marketing messages including, but not limited to display and video adverts, paid search, mobile, and social ads to a brand’s target audience.

How is this course different from other digital advertising courses in the market?

This course provides you with bite-sized, yet comprehensive and actionable digital advertising strategies and tactics that you can implement right after the course, unlike other Diploma and certification courses which are packed with assignments and require long-term time commitment. Beyond this, it’ll also be conducted by a highly experienced social media marketing professional.

At Equinet Academy, we are committed to delivering quality training:

We provide you with life-time access to up-to-date course materials (learner’s guide, slides, templates, and other training resources) via the learning portal.
You will not sit through hours and hours of dry and tormenting lecture. Instead, you will experience instructional design learning methodologies such as discussions, group project work, interactive quizzes, and hands-on implementation of the concepts learnt.
You will be guided by an experienced professional in the field of digital advertising, who will be able to provide you with actionable advice and costly mistakes to avoid, thus shortening your learning curve.
You will be provided with additional support after attending the course.

Who is this course suitable for?

This course is suitable for Marketing Managers and Marketing Executives who manage or oversee the digital advertising campaigns within the organisation or campaigns outsourced to digital marketing agencies.

What is the difference between this course and the Facebook Ads and Google Ads platform-based courses?

This course provides you with a holistic overview and understanding of various digital advertising channels such as paid search, paid social, display advertising, and video and mobile advertising. It also equips you with the required skills and knowledge to develop and implement a digital advertising strategy which includes:

Defining advertising objectives and KPIs
Selecting the right digital advertising channel mix in accordance with target customer personas
Developing a strategic digital advertising plan to achieve marketing objectives
Tracking and measuring performance in order to suggest improvements and develop optimisation plans

This course also enables you to explore the Google Ads platform and participate in the hands-on implementation of creating a basic Search, Display, and Remarketing campaign. This will enable you to better understand the technical features of a mainstream advertising platform and will help you better manage a digital agency/paid media specialist.

The Facebook Ads and Google Ads course on the other hand, emphasises more on the technical set-up and execution of the ad campaigns on the respective platforms e.g – How to create a Facebook Ads/Google Ads campaign from scratch, implement audience targeting strategies, and set up pixel/javascript tracking to measure conversions and optimise performance.

Can’t I learn everything online?

No doubt there are tons of free information online – free tutorials, guides, and online courses that you can gain useful knowledge from. However, the intangible benefits of attending face to face training include real time consultation with an industry expert, peer to peer learning and interaction, and hands-on practical learning sessions. This will enable you to take away actionable strategies you can implement right after the training.

If I have specific questions relating to my digital advertising campaigns, can I consult the trainer?

Yes! Our trainers are dedicated practitioners who strive to ensure you gain significant value from the training. You may consult your trainer during and after class. More details on after-training support here.

Do I have to prepare anything before attending the course?

Course materials, a Windows laptop, and WIFI connection will be provided. You may wish to bring a notebook to take notes and a jacket as the room may be cold.

How do I sign up?

Simply click here to sign up for this course via the online course registration form.

Once we have received your registration details and payment, we will send you instructions on how to apply/claim funding (if eligible) via email.

Upon completion of payment and funding applications, your seat will be confirmed and we will see you in class!

I’m still unsure whether this course can help me meet my objectives.
