Sizmek will host ‘SizmekHonours’ a four-week course on ad management for students and graduates looking to hit the ground running in the ad tech industry
LONDON – Following the success of its programme last year, SizmekHonours, a free four week course on ad management, will once again open its doors to students and graduates looking to kick-start a successful career in digital advertising. The open ad management company has increased the number of places available to 25 and will run four sessions from Wednesday 20th May to Wednesday 10th June.
Sizmek gives online advertisers, agencies, and publishers freedom of choice, flexibility and full end-to-end capabilities to drive exponential ad performance across multiple devices and channels. Sizmek has pioneered numerous digital advertising firsts for the online advertising industry.
Attendees at the SizmekHonours programme will hear from creative agencies, brands, a demand side platform (DSP), and industry experts over four separate Thursday morning sessions covering display, video, dynamic creative, and data. The modules are designed to be interactive, hands-on and engaging, and will include industry overviews, developing practical skills, problem solving, and presentation techniques. These modules will look to show delegates how to increase the effectiveness of media plans, drive better results and discover insights about advertising campaigns. Upon completion of the course, students will receive a certificate of achievement.
New for this year, SizmekHonours will also run a taster session during London Tech Week (15th 21st June) where the course will be condensed into four consecutive days, running from Monday 15th June to Thursday 18th June. This course will have limited availability, but is open to all.
