Marketing Manager, BigTec

Wished I done this years ago! Great course, rooted in real world case study scenarios. I chose the intensive one year study option as it suited my learning style and work commitments. It's demanding, but you get out what you put in. The modules and lectures are very relevant to the knowledge needed & challenges todays marketers face - in addition they are delivered by some of the leading experts in the field. My tutor & cohort were great - we quickly bonded, shared experiences and helped each other through. Can't wait to celebrate at the formal Graduation!

Chris Bottle PG Dip IDM
Marketing Director, Hyundai Capital UK Ltd

The IDM Diploma in Digital and Direct Marketing has been fundamental in my development as a marketer. Although it seemed like a big leap to start the intensive course whilst still being an assistant in my team, it was so worth it. At times it was challenging but it has given me the confidence to bring my ideas to the table during campaigns back at the office. It's advanced my understanding of techniques to allow me to apply them in every day work, maximising income for our charity and proving myself to the industry. During and since studying I have been awarded two national awards in Fundraising and been promoted - which just goes to show what a course like this can help you achieve.

Emma Smith Dip IDM
Direct Marketing Officer, Cats Protection

Anyone who wants to progress their career in marketing and take away practical advice that can be implemented instantly should take the IDM's Professional Diploma in Direct and Digital Marketing. Spending a few days away from my normal working environment to attend the course at the IDM headquarters allowed me the opportunity to broaden my knowledge, talk to like-minded peers and be taught by engaging industry professionals who are in the business every day. Having access to this meant I returned to work refreshed and able to impart knowledge and implement what I had learned. For me this meant updating my colleagues on new data regulations that we subsequently put into action straight away. As well as enhancing my knowledge, the course also allowed me to improve essential writing skills and I can now compose a full direct and digital marketing plan and present it to company directors. The mixture of assignment and exam assessment aided the development of this skill and I have come away with a renewed confidence and passion in developing my marketing career with a notable marketing qualification under my belt.

Anna McCarthy
Marketing Executive, Clothes2order

Taking time out to reflect on one's daily habits is a useful exercise for anyone to take, with the "Hack" team, the advantage is the facilitators are nurturing and gentle in their approach, wanting each participant to get the best from the day in a non-judgement way. What I found helpful was the concept of building in recovery time. Enjoyable and useful.

Joanne Cumper

Put simply, it was the most inspirational and worthwhile eight hours of my life. Cut through the noise, and define exactly what you stand for, how to achieve your goals and what makes you, you. Everything we spoke about related immediately back to work, and how you can action your findings to make you a better leader, team player, and an all-round better human.
