"Senior marketers who participated in a recent series of Roundtables hosted by ADMA around highlighted the pressing need for more and better talent in region," said David Ketchum, ADMA Chairman. "The need for a new generation of web-savvy marketers is clear, as well as the value of having established marketing professionals upgrade their skills to meet the needs of the rapidly changing online marketing environment. The ADMA's Digital Essentials fills a professional development need in the digital workplace, which is not yet met by in-house agency and client training programs, universities, or third party training companies."
