Become a technical marketer

More and more marketing is implemented through technology.You must be the driver of marketing technology, not merely a concerned passenger. But if you don’t have technical depth, how can you navigate?

Take the Technical Marketer Minidegree and you’ll:

• Gain a complete picture and technical foundation of the most relevant areas in digital marketing.
• Confidently talk shop across multiple technical disciplines with your team and in workflows.
• Be able to implement, track, and properly show results.
• We’ll help you get a job once you graduate.

“I’m just not technical” can be a defense mechanism

What is a Minidegree program?

A Minidegree is a curation of self-paced video courses organized by topics (tracks), so you can learn at a speed that suits your schedule. With optional assignments to apply what you learned.

When you preface your decisions with “I’m a non-technical marketer”, it just gives yourself an out. Just in case you got a technical part wrong.

A lot of this is fed by the ideas of the single job title: Your title is marketer. Which means you’re not a developer and don’t set foot in that world.

It’s also fed by technical management software — which is designed to remove the technical aspect so you won’t ever have to talk to a developer. Everything is streamlined to a button push.

The problem with that? When you’ve learned enough to do more, your hands are tied.

The software might not have the ‘power user’ interface to give you the control you need when you’re ready.

More and more marketing is implemented through technology

Being coddled by make-it-easy software — and never wading into areas that seem too technical — means you don’t develop your skills. That needs to stop.

Technology plays an ever-increasing part in marketing. Ok, so you’re a marketer who is not technical yet. No zaps, no CDPs, no APIs. That’s fine for now. But won’t be for long.

Choose a path where you can enhance your technological aptitude. When you don’t “get” something at first, it’s time to get curious instead of becoming afraid. Seek mastery, not comfort.

Not moving forward means being left behind.

Marketing is getting harder. More fun, but harder.

One of the reasons it’s getting harder is because of the growing number of technology decisions marketers must struggle with.

Marketers have more application and platform decisions to make than ever. These decisions have significant consequences.

In order to make the right decisions, you need to have a level of technical expertise.

If you’re in digital, you’re already technical.

Being a non-technical marketer is a misnomer. Data and analytics are at the heart of every single thing we do in digital. That means you’re technical.

It might be a surprise if you haven’t thought this way before.

What you heard from everyone is there’s a ‘unicorn’ marketer with technical mastery — something unattainable by mere mortals, so don’t even try.

Then this gets reinforced by tools, bloggers, and conferences. They say it’s okay if you don’t understand the technical part that drives your whole industry.

You get reinforcement that not knowing this stuff is fine.

The reality is this: if you’re the kind of person who wants to learn just a little bit more, you already have the skills to learn the technical side.

The Technical Marketer Minidegree is designed to give you a foundational understanding of all the technical disciplines needed to be a digital marketer today.
