Looking to go into Digital Marketing Career

[RainieHrx]

I've just left my desk job after 4 years and I've had enough of micromanagement by my boss. Some of my friends are going into digital marketing and the job scope and benefits seem pretty attractive. In fact many of my friends who are in digital marketing seem to be doing well.

What does it take to get into this industry? What courses should I sign up for? Which digital agency should I apply for or how do I find clients?

First, go and get certified. If you want to go into any industry, some relevant certification is always a plus point.

Is it better to take digital marketing course in SMU, NUS or NTU compare to private educators?

In Singapore? I'd say a local institution that is MOE approved would be your best bet.
