Success Story: Thea Ifurung

CDMP Batch 3

What was your work background before enrolling in DMI?

Before DMI, I was starting out as an Account Manager for an Australian owned digital marketing agency.

What influenced your decision to study and get certified in digital marketing?

Three reasons:
• My previous company invested in me to take this course.
• I’ve always been an avid learner. It was just natural for me to sign up for something I initially knew very little about.
• Every time I choose institutions to learn from, I make sure I get the best in the industry.

Why did you choose to study with DMI?

Credibility. It’s always quality learning over everything else. Sure, there are heaps of good institutions to learn from but I deliberately chose DMI because it was the only institution in the country that provided a globally-recognized certificate.

How has it helped you in your business or work?

It’s 2020, we are currently experiencing a global pandemic yet I am not just surviving, I am thriving. This is mainly because everything that can generate income always has something to do with digital marketing. Having both the foundational knowledge and network in this field has been very beneficial in whatever I do and choose to do.

Since completing the program, how has your career progressed?

I’m now a General Manager for a startup funded by a US billionaire venture capitalist.

What’s your advice for new students?

Deliberately listen and apply what you are about to learn. You can do it!

How would you describe your learning experience with DMI?

Challenging but worth it.
