Priority Marketing, FGCU collaborate on digital marketing micro-credential

FORT MYERS, Fla. - Rezul -- Priority Marketing and Florida Gulf Coast University have collaborated to develop a micro-credential in digital marketing that helps students develop in-demand workforce skills and competencies.

Micro-credentials are certifications beyond a traditional college degree program that confirm an individual is proficient in a specific skill. Students who complete a course and pass a formal assessment are granted a digital badge that can be added to their professional portfolio or resume.

The micro-credential course, Fundamentals of Digital Marketing, focuses on digital strategies and tactics that businesses and nonprofits can develop to capture the attention of their target audiences. Digital marketing is a discipline within the marketing industry that includes search engine marketing, online display advertising, search engine optimization, social media advertising, email marketing and automation, retargeting campaigns, Google ads, reputation management, mobile geofencing, call tracking, over-the-top streaming, campaign analysis, SMS campaigns, IP targeting and more.
