Want to make your move into the world of Digital Marketing?

In the last ten years, Digital Marketing has gone from being a fringe idea of a job to a vital part of every corporation's communication with the world. Even in Darwin, we have at least 50 people operating as digital marketing agencies. There is an abundance of work available in digital marketing as full-time jobs, casual positions and contracted work. But where do you start if you want to make your way into the Digital Marketing industry?

On Saturday, March 11, 2023, Business Station, Territory Proud and Clickstarter will present a morning of information sessions to help you better understand what the Digital Marketing world is like, and how you can start your journey into the industry as an employee or starting your own Digital Marketing business.

Two 45-minute sessions will be held covering the skills you'll need, where to get them, who the digital marketing agencies in town are and what gaps are currently available in the market for you to start your own agency.

The morning is presented by Dante St James, the Northern Territory's Entrepreneurship Facilitator, a highly sought-after digital business advisor, public speaking coach, certified LinkedIn Marketing Professional, holder of one of just five digital marketing training contracts with Meta (Facebook & Instagram) in Australia and operator of Clickstarter, a Darwin digital marketing agency.

Morning tea will be provided between the two sessions in which you will learn:

Session 1:

The Digital Marketing Industry in Australia
The Skills that Employers Expect in Digital Marketing
A few key certifications that really set you apart
Where to get help locally to learn the ropes
Who the local employers and agencies are

Session 2:

University students interested in digital marketing side-gigs or business opportunities
Current business owners who want to better understand the digital marketing world
Employees who are interested in a career pivot towards digital marketing
