About the Programme

The Chief Digital Marketing Strategist Program is a 15-month online programme co-designed by MIT School of Distance Education (MITSDE) and Digital Maven, built for professionals who want to become full-stack marketers — equally comfortable with creative strategy, campaign execution, and data-driven decision-making.

The programme moves beyond traditional digital marketing training by blending marketing leadership, AI-powered tools, and hands-on analytics into a single integrated curriculum. Learners work through live sessions, sprint-based projects, and a capstone experience that mirrors real agency and in-house marketing challenges.

With 150+ hours of expert-led learning and 30+ industry tools and AI platforms, the programme prepares graduates to lead campaigns, interpret performance data, and make marketing decisions that deliver measurable business results.
