  • I am honored and truly excited to work for the DiMaQ – the first programme of standardization and verification of digital marketing competence available in Greece. In the constantly evolving world of digital marketing our industry needs now more than ever a tool to stimulate employees’ development and verify their knowledge and competence. DiMaQ is the ultimate tool to facilitate the process of recruitment and of planning of development paths for current marketing and advertising professionals.

  • The market of online marketing has been lacking a uniform standard that would let both companies looking for new partners and employers in search for new human resources or planning career paths for the existing learning staff learn of the competence of particular specialists. A Digital Marketing Qualification certificate, awarded by an organization representing the online industry in Poland, makes it possible to compare and evaluate the said competence. We're glad to see the process of certification being implemented on the dynamically changing market of Poland.
