In just ten hours you too can be a bona fide marketing executive
While he’s met more than a few digital charlatans, Dr Mumbo had no idea it was so easy to become a marketing executive.
Until he received an email from group buying site Living Social, that is.
For just $29, you can do an online ten hour course with the Shaw Academy and get yourself an “accredited online diploma in digital marketing”.
“With live lessons, interactive Q&A sessions, constant support, a one-on-one evaluation from a professional and more, you’ll be a bona fide marketing executive in no time”.
I believe this might be the burn that elevates you from Dr to A/Prof Mumbo, Dr Mumbo, but I’m not at liberty to say if I am or am not from the academic institute intending to confer this honour upon you.
Irony-upon-irony, it’s probably right!
What most strutting, hipsterish, over-confident digital marketers actually DO know, could very likely be imparted in 10 hours, and is worth about 29 bucks.
And that’s being generous.
Yup. That’s what clients are paying for.
Shareholders, take note.
What’s the odds that someone copies it and undercuts the price within a few months.
10 hours?
That significantly more experience than several “digital gurus” I’ve had to work with (endure?) over the years…
I’d argue you could become one for free if you have an internet connection
