Top 10 Digital Marketing Institutes in India
With the Digital Media Growth which was estimated at 4.5 trillion online ads served annually with digital media spend at 48% growth in 2010 (according to Wikipedia), the digital marketing has proved to be a big boom to the industry.
From businesses employing Online Behavioural Advertising (OBA) to tailor advertising for internet users, an increase in the portion of advertising stems, but OBA raises a concern for consumer privacy and data protection.
With the business, particularly in India, still in the outset with a colossal anticipated development potential and a lack of prepared experts, numerous understudies, graduates, and youthful experts are hopeful of getting an advanced promoting temporary fad. Thus, this has provoked the requirement of the courses in Digital Marketing.
Digital marketing’s development since the 1990s and 2000s has changed the way brands and businesses use technology for marketing. As digital platforms are increasingly incorporated into marketing plans and everyday life, and as people use digital devices instead of visiting physical shops, digital marketing campaigns are becoming more prevalent and efficient.
But, the pattern of Digital Marketing came late in India, amid the end of 2011, yet from that point of time, we have seen an enormous growth in the field.
With the increase in the usage of internet and social media popularity, it can be expected to grow more in the recent times or in the future.
Keeping in mind the popularity of internet and skill of using, learning and gaining more and more knowledge about it, different institutions, organizations as well as associations have begun courses in Digital Marketing.
This is true that whatever knowledge they provide is the least they can tell, for me Digital Marketing is much wider than what we get a knowledge.
Digital marketing methods such as Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Search Engine Marketing (SEM), Content Marketing, Social Media Marketing, E-mail Marketing, Mobile Marketing, Affiliate Marketing etc. are particular fields and has their own importance. Though Digital Marketing includes more fields than this.

However, we feel that going through a proper training program is better for you because we feel that a good training program will give you a good learning structure, mentorship and the opportunity to connect with like-minded people.
