The Idea Center at Miami Dade College (MDC), Miami’s hub of innovation and entrepreneurship, is launching the second edition of its successful MarketHack digital marketing training program. The 16-week course offers a dynamic combination of lectures from top professionals, hands-on skills workshops, and real-life group projects that teach participants how to influence customers, create connections, and grow their businesses.
Aimed at filling a talent gap for highly skilled digital marketers in South Florida, the program will continue its successful partnership with República, a leading, independent cross-cultural advertising, communications and digital agency based in Miami. It will also build on relationships with other local companies and creative agencies that will help shape its curriculum and create a pipeline for internships, apprenticeships and jobs.
“Staying on top of digital trends is not easy, it seems like there’s a new social networking platform popping up every day, but understanding the nuances of 21st century communication is indispensable in nearly every industry,” said Jorge Azze, social media community manager at República and participant in the inaugural class. “MarketHack's stable of digital marketing pros makes staying up to speed feasible and actually really fun. The course provides a professional, yet laid back environment with people from all industries, ages and walks of life, that sparks new friendships, perspectives and opportunities.”
MarketHack is taught by two of South Florida’s top digital marketing professionals: program lead Dan Grech, Vice President of Marketing and Public Relations at OfferCraft, and co-teacher Mike Schott, Director of Online Marketing at Open English.
An Information Session with both instructors will be held at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, January 19, at The Idea Center at Miami Dade College, 315 NE 2nd Ave Building 8, 5th Floor, Miami, FL 33132. RSVP here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/markethack-mixer-info-session-tickets-20509268775
