]]>

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Paid Advertising is the most reliable source of traffic generation if you have an unlimited budget. Unfortunately, clients do not have an unlimited budget and getting a campaign to produce a positive ROI can be very challenging. To operate at the director level, supervising paid advertising campaigns, is not something you need to have years of experience and certifications to do. The paid advertising model is very simple no matter what paid digital medium you are utilizing. Certain numbers have to add up in order for a campaign to be successful, and when numbers do not add up you will know exactly what to do after taking this course.

This course will teach you how to be a professional paid advertising consultant and how to integrate your consulting skills into your consultancy, creating billable consulting services to your clients. A large part of the battle is the strategy, model and structure in which you operate as a consultancy. AMI has placed a large emphasis on a systematic business model to how you consult and provide paid advertising marketing services....View More

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The low number of companies who accurately track and interpret their ratio of traffic to leads to conversions is shocking. The systems, or lack of, that track traffic, leads and conversions are typically all separate systems. Most often, these systems do not communicate and what data exists in them is not enough to analyze because employees do not document where conversions come from. This is the most important consulting you can ever provide to any client. The entire course is dedicated to providing Traffic, Leads and Conversion (TLC) analysis and consulting for any client regardless of how much of a wreck their systems or data are....View More

Without a doubt, one of the most daunting tasks to consulting any business in relation to anything regarding marketing, is getting a clear picture of where they stand from a traffic to conversion standpoint.
