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. PDMA Should Charge More

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.
