Testimonials

My job was one of the things that took a hit during the pandemic. I was devastated by this but a respected senior friend convinced me to go and improve my skills at PDMA so I’d be indispensable. He wasn’t wrong. In 4 short weeks, the improvement was so obvious and profound that Lagos Business School approached me. In a very short while, using what I learned at PDMA, I did not just land a job, I rose to Manager ranks at Lagos Business School. Looking back, I am glad the last job ended…but I am most glad I went to PDMA.

After graduating from University, I knew needed digital skills if this economy was going to favor me. It didn’t take long to find PDMA, and I am glad I did. My experience at PDMA positioned me to land a job right after my graduation where I manage local international brands…it didn’t even take time to happen. I am really happy cos truly when you weigh it against the value you get, PDMA is just doing giveaways to help people like me get their lives started.

I AM DOING WELL!
I loved marketing, the only problem was I didn’t know how to do it. I knew I had to start from somewhere and I am glad I started from PDMA. PDMA started from the basics of marketing before we went into digital marketing and that was my eureka moment. I would have just known the tools and been totally clueless about converting customers. Today, I am the lead strategist for several multination brands and I can’t even lie, PDMA laid the foundation for this career I am enjoying today.
