Introducing AMI FACTS

Being underskilled presents risk! If your team doesn’t have all the skills you need to implement your strategies, there is a real risk that those strategies will fail. As our market continues to become more technical and complex, the unfortunate reality is that marketing skills haven’t kept pace, which has caused a marked skills gap in Australia. You may have the technology and the data you require but without the skills to use both effectively, you can’t succeed.

AMI, in partnership with ADMA and Deakin Digital, is proud to bring you Australia’s first Globally recognised marketing credential program. Click here to read more.
