Digital marketing training in Kenya – all you need to know from the best school for digital marketing to fees and even how to excel in the digital marketing field in Kenya and beyond

 

Is digital marketing in demand in Kenya?

Short answer: Yes!

Why?

Because everything has gone digital, even marketing- and businesses and companies have realized that.

So they do not just need a conventional salesperson. No. They’re looking for someone who can sell them/their products excellently online.

Better still, as Gen Z start to enter adult age- and get purchasing power, from working or business- there will be even more opportunities for the simple reason that Gen Z have grown up with digital devices around them meaning the first thing they do when they want to buy something is search online!

So even those firms that are still dragging their feet and are yet to hire digital marketers will be forced to hire qualified digital marketers!

Moving beyond Kenya, one best thing with digital marketing is that you are not limited to selling your skills locally…I know of Kenyans who run international digital marketing companies from Kenya or are employed by multinational digital marketing agencies while living in Kenya!

To cut the long story short, you can never go hungry with a qualification in digital marketing!

 

How much do digital marketers charge in Kenya?

It depends on the project…expect to earn Kshs.20000- Kshs.200000 for one time projects like web design.

On the other hand, if you are employed full time, pay starts at Kshs. 30000 per month for entry level digital marketers..and it can rise to over Kshs. 300000 at more senior digital marketing positions.

Of course, you’ll earn way more if working remotely for foreign employers- from $1000 upwards monthly!

So yes, digital marketing can be very well paying!

How long does a digital marketing course take in Kenya?

Well, a short course can take 2 weeks.

But its best to pursue at least a more comprehensive 3-months certificate in digital marketing course…you’ll learn more and you’re likely to get more opportunities…even if you’re doing it for your own business, the skills you come out with in a certificate will put you at a better position to make more sales selling online.

By the way a diploma in digital marketing takes between 1 ½ years to 2 years.

 

Which university is best for digital marketing in Kenya?

We have a few universities teaching it including Zetech but it’s not easy to pinpoint one as the best.

In fact, its, for the most part, better to learn digital marketing at a dedicated digital marketing college such as Kenya Online College because you are taught not by academics like in universities– which means classes are more theoretical- but real, practicing experts who know their stuff.

In addition, classes in trainers such as Kenya Online College are usually small, so you’re given maximum attention.

And indeed, you are more likely to get connected to opportunities and mentorship (if you’re into digital marketing of your business) than in Universities (because employers prefer the highly specialized training offered by colleges)

That is because of their success rate when it comes to placing their graduates in jobs. Businesspeople who have also gone through their course have also reported making record-breaking sales online, after employing what they learned during the digital marketing trainings at Kenya Online College.

Which type of digital marketing course is best?

You want to enroll into a course that covers all the foundations such as the complete digital marketing course at Kenya Online College.

But perhaps it is better to later on niche down to a specific area.

Example: If you’re a very technical person, it could be best to go for SEO, as your specialization (and it pays really well).

In contrast, if you’re not into technical stuff, getting into direct response copywriting, or even general content writing, or may be social media marketing could be a more sensible route.

In other words, becoming a jack of all trades might not be the best decision.

Instead, your main goal is to first understand the essentials/foundations (these skills are obviously transferable to every other niche), which include customer journey (and journey mapping), marketing funnels, analytics and reporting, performance marketing, etc.

Later on choose what you’re exemplarily good at and specialize there (AI marketing, Tiktok, or whatever!)
