Digital Marketing Accelerator
Today’s essential strategies
In today’s fast-changing digital world, marketing strategies can shift overnight. New tools and evolving customer behaviors continue to reshape how organizations connect with their audiences. Digital marketing is an increasingly demanding discipline that requires even seasoned marketers to continually refresh their skill set. To stay effective, marketers need current skills they can apply right away, without stepping away from their day-to-day responsibilities.
The Digital Marketing Accelerator is an intensive weekend program for professionals who want to stay current in this constantly evolving field. Led by expert faculty, participants will explore how to translate business strategy into digital strategy, apply AI to enhance content, and use bidding and analytics to evaluate digital marketing effectiveness. Participants will also explore how to talk about digital marketing to their organization’s finance team, C-Suite and board of directors, and how to use digital marketing to accelerate the path to becoming a CMO.
Throughout the program, marketing, analytics and finance are integrated to strengthen digital decision-making. Interactive discussions and examples emphasize practical applications that can be implemented immediately.

What Participants Say
"It was truly an honor and a privilege to be part of a prestigious institution like Kellogg. The experience was exceptional—a full weekend of immersive learning and valuable exchange of perspectives on topics highly relevant to our day-to-day roles.
Approaching these discussions through a real-world lens helped me stay current with evolving trends and better understand the changes shaping not only our functions, but the broader business landscape.
Marketing is a constantly evolving field, and digital trends can become obsolete very quickly. Having access to the right tools and knowledge to support our daily activities enables us to elevate our performance and effectively achieve our strategic objectives."
