Agenda for All Courses (details subject to change)

Each day above will contain a morning session from 9:00AM until Noon with one 15 minute break; and an afternoon session from 1:30PM until 4:30PM with one 15 minute break. A separate manual will be provided for each session.

All Laredo Group Courses are non-technical and designed to enable students to immediately understand and engage in interactive digital media and marketing in its many forms. They are for all who need an understanding of Internet advertising best practices, ad programs, vocabulary, how ads are delivered and measured, how to differentiate and use branding versus direct response ads, and to understand the opportunities and limitations of what can be accomplished with online advertising and how this benefits advertisers. A limited number of students is allowed in each Course, so each student can be assured of maximum interaction and learning and robust program presentation and curriculum, comprehensive manual and experienced instructors...in a setting that allows for greater interaction between instructors and students, providing more immediately relevant dialogue and information for each individual student.

 

Note: All Laredo Group courses are updated and modified frequently to reflect the rapidly evolving and changing online advertising and media industry. All course outlines are therefore subject to change without notice.
