and digital marketing campaigns.

Studying within the workplace and attending classes at Barnsley College,

Media Analyst or Digital Account Assistant.

Maureen Bullock, Head of Creative Industries at Barnsley College, said:
“Digital marketing and the use of social and digital media is a key part
of the marketing strategy for most businesses today. This course is a
foot in the door for any budding digital marketer or can be used by
businesses to advance and develop their existing workforce.”
