Course Description
Marketing is changing
Marketers no longer just sit in a room and come up with catch slogans like in Mad Men. They’re now required to be more analytical, more technical, and take ownership of a larger part of the traditional customer funnel
What does that mean?
It means that your traditional education and your traditional understanding of marketing are becoming obsolete. Companies are no longer hiring marketers to sit and watch over ad campaigns; they’re hiring marketers that can not only plan, design, and run their own campaigns but also influence and understand their products on a much deeper level
In this course we’re going to focus on both core marketing fundamentals but also on the more advanced growth marketing strategies that are becoming more and more in demand. We'll cover the basics that any marketer should know and then expand into day to day actionable skills you're going to be required to have. In the second portion of the course we'll focus on how you can set yourself up for success in the marketplace and how to find, vet, and lock down a job in Marketing or Growth.
Who should take this class?
The class is designed for 3 types of students:
1) Anyone with a passion for marketing and specifically wants to learn in demand growth marketing strategies
2) Anyone who wants to transition to marketing and get a job
3) Anyone who wants to apply growth techniques to their own ventures and run their campaigns the same way a professional firm would

Hi, I'm Evan Kimbrell. Thanks for checking out my course.
**My courses have been featured in Forbes, CNN, Entrepreneur Magazine, BusinessInsider, BuzzFeed, Mashable, TheNextWeb, The Daily Beast, & Techcrunch**
Currently, I'm the Founder and Director of Sprintkick, a full-service, referral-only digital agency based out of San Francisco. Over the past four years I've overseen the development and launch of over 100 web and mobile apps. Clients range from two-man bootstrapping startups to multibillion dollar Fortune 100s like Wal-Mart, Dick's Sporting Goods, and GNC.
Prior to Sprintkick I worked as a VC for a new firm called Juvo Capital, based out of L.A. I spearheaded the firm's expansion into Silicon Valley and into the Consumer Web tech category.
In the long long ago, I was a co-founder for an educational software startup called ScholarPRO that raised a ton of money and then spectacularly blew up (in the bad way). Before it exploded like the Death Star, I went through five tech incubators (yes, five): Tech Stars, Excelerate Labs, MassChallenge, Babson Venture Program, and Sparkseed.
Hope you enjoy my courses!

This is an old course. Not made in Dec 2025. It's a generic marketing course that's retitled to say Growth Marketing. Has nothing to do with growth marketing industry today. NO mention of AI. Useless. today.

This is not what i was looking for. This is barely basics of digital marketing being called growth hacking and you can learn all this on YouTube free and if this is what growth hacking is then i have been scammed by the other courses i bought here at the same time when i thought i was about to learn growth hacking... Also these courses are so old as much as 5-6 years old

I started this course because my company gave me a new responsibility to be a growth hacker. So, I started this course as someone who knew not so much. I just had a few ideas of SEO, and a few other things. But now, I am confident that I'm going to kill my new job roles. And also, I am confident that I am going to be competent enough to land my dream job. I am ready to put in the work to implement everything I've learnt in this course.

I've got what I expected and really liked it! The course is taps briefly into basics, yet there are many tools given to quickly expand our knowledge in case of need. Lectures kept me interested and hungry to learn more (this is where lots of additional resources shine!). One small issue I had is that some info is a bit outdated, but that's definitely not a game breaker.

Super useful for any marketing newbie but also really good for those with some experience. I've been a marketer almost a decade with a mix of corporate and startup roles and after 4 years of non-stop work I found it useful to just listen, absorb and structure some thoughts based on what the course was teaching. There's something for everyone. Much more for the beginner but depending on where you are in your career, might also provide value to the more experienced marketer who is newer to digital.

You know those vitamins that are supposed to be 11 servings of fruits and vegetables condensed into little pills? I feel like this course was a marketing degree in a highly condensed form. I got overwhelmed with Google stats, I literally had to put my head on the desk. It was a bullet ride through *so* much, but I know I can always go back and look at those lectures again. I was really impressed with the power of email marketing. I have a small company, so I need to get a good overview of these concepts, even though I am not personally going into marketing. But for anyone going into marketing, there is a lot of good advice in this course, including advice that is unique and will give you an important edge.

I started this course to gain some knowledge about marketing without getting a job in this area. I am satisfied with the course on my terms. The course gives plenty of information plus a number of helpful links to external articles and sites. A way to improve the course is to introduce more practical tasks like mailchimp compaign which I liked a lot. I also think that giving a few work examples from real life will be extremely helpfull in getting some hands on knowledge. Also, more quizes after each section to think through presented material will do just fine

Two Words: AMAZING COURSE!!!! Justin Mares does a great job of breaking down what it really takes to become successful as a marketer at a high level as well as bringing real world examples, tactics, case studies, and resources you can use to get started on you journey today. Seriously, Mr. Mares takes a no BS approach to giving you all the information you need to become a successful in this industry. What makes this course even better is the fact that Justin has paid his dues and is speaking from someone who has worn multiple hats as employee at successful startups as well as running his own business so he knows what he is talking about. The one on one talking head videos matched with over the shoulder on screen demonstrations provides the perfect mix of theory and practice so that you can really grasp the lectures at hand. Even though Justin is a veteran in the marketing industry, he doesn't overwhelm you with highfalutin occupational jargon but instead talks to you like a friend sharing great information in a simple and friendly way. As a professional marketer with over 10 years of experience working with brands like Coca-Cola, Sprite, The NBA, AT&T, and Smirnoff Vodka, I can attest that Justin knows what he is talking about. If only this course was available when I started out... If you are serious about becoming a marketer, DO NOT OVERLOOK this course. Become A Marketer is EXACTLY what you need to get started or if you wanted to brush up on your marketing game. Thanks a million Justin and Evan for putting together this course!!!

Started this course on June 30th, 2016 and just finished today, Monday, July 11, 2016 5:52 PM. Even though the course says it takes 4 hours to go through, the content and material in addition to copious note taking might stretch out the learning process a little longer. Side note, I took my time to learn the material and go over some resources and did additional outside course learning to further supplement the course materials hence the reason why it took a little longer. At most, if you really take good notes, read all the materials, and practice diligently for at least 2 hours a day, you should be done within at least a week. However, this course does not go into advance techniques for all the skill sets. The creators of the course encourage students to further supplement and specialize in their their own training/knowledge outside of this course. There are tons of valuable resources given within the lectures. Truth be told,, I have not even gone through all the resources notes yet. I've been dabbling and diving deeper with some of the marketing channels and skills given in here. As a long-time aspiring digital marketer, this is by far hands down the most comprehensive, straightforward curated course you can find on becoming an entry digital marketer. Digital marketers wear many hats and require many skills. Most Udemy courses specializes in a skill or marketing channel, but none of them are as well-rounded and give the full picture of a great digital marketer. Justin as well as Evan are clearly respected digital marketers and entrepreneurs of their own. They know what they're talking about and clearly have the experience and knowledge to teach digital marketing. What makes this course particularly stand out is the "side by side" process of the skills presented. It's not a broad overview course where the creator says: "Here's the skills you need to learn...because of reasons XYZ...(and now go learn on your own)". Most things in the course are demonstrated and are solid starting points to build off on. What you choose to specialize your knowledge in is up to you.
