Introduction

Embarking on the Digital Marketing program at UpGrad MICA has been quite an adventure. I started with the joy of upskilling myself in this trending skill. This journey has been filled with twists, turns, and exhilarating discoveries.

Planning and Growth

The course began with tips and tricks to make the most out of this online course. It helped me prepare a plan on how to proceed and what to expect in terms of digital marketing modules. The growth plan included personalized sessions with a mentor. This part serves as a map outlining the growth plan, a towering mountain peak in the distance, representing the learning objective. Each step, each module, brings you closer to that peak. My motivation levels for learning further increased.

Foundational Marketing Concepts

Next, the module laid down the fundamental building blocks of marketing. This set the stage for a deeper understanding of the craft. I found myself captivated by intricate concepts such as STP and the 4Ps of marketing.

Practical Application

The best part in this Upgrad program was a case study on the popular brand Mamaearth. This made me revise all the concepts covered earlier and apply them practically. There was a lot of thought and reasoning put into the process, which led to questions and doubts. Conveniently, UpGrad provided live doubt resolution sessions.

Engaging Quizzes

Each module in UpGrad has quizzes at the end. These quizzes test the learning and thus help with progress. The questions are mostly scenario-based, which adds to the application of knowledge. These quizzes serve like final boss battles, testing your mettle and the skills you’ve honed throughout your journey. It’s like the designers knew how to make learning feel less like a chore and more like an adventure.

Discovering AI with ChatGPT

But the plot thickened as I delved further! Enter ChatGPT—an AI marvel that opened my eyes to the boundless possibilities of technology within digital marketing. How easy it has made our lives with the ideal prompts!

Website Creation and Blogging

And that was still just the beginning! I ventured into the realm of website creation and blogging, courtesy of WordPress. Mastering skills like choosing the topic to leveraging Elementor to create beautiful websites, we were guided on all aspects.

Social Media Campaigns

Now, my journey has led me to the doorstep of social media campaigns. This thrilling module brims with challenges and promises great rewards. Each module is a stepping stone, guiding me deeper into the digital marketing wonders. 

End note
