A message from our CEO
Welcome
Developing our Youth, SMMEs, and Suppliers is key in South Africa.
Digital marketing and social media marketing are skills that can easily be taught with a view to job creation or business growth.
Being a freelance social media marketer or having digital skills to grow your business is something we can easily teach.
It's time to embrace Al and technology and invest in the continual learning and development of our people.
It's not enough to just do GREAT work, we also have to develop GREAT people.

Years training in digital marketing"I can teach anyone with a smartphone to be a digital entrepreneur."
-Dylan Kohlstadt
Why you need your own branded Supplier, Youth or SMME Development Academy
Because anyone with a smartphone can be a social media marketer.
Because small businesses should know how to use social media and digital marketing to grow their businesses.
Because it's cheaper to create a branded academy for your business or organisation, than continue to pay for ad-hoc training and development courses.
Because digital marketing and social media marketing are key skills that everyone should have.
What the students will LEARN
With your own branded digital marketing supplier developer academy, your selected students will comprehensively understand digital marketing strategies and techniques. They will learn about search engine optimization (SEO) and how to improve a website's visibility on search engines like Google. They will also learn about how to create and manage effective campaigns on platforms such as Google Ads, Facebook Ads, and many other social media platforms.
Students will learn about social media marketing, including how to create and execute a social media strategy, how to use different social media platforms, and how to measure the success of social media campaigns using tools like Google Analytics. They will also learn how to create a detailed digital marketing plan, identify target audiences, and set clear goals and objectives.
Your students will also learn about content marketing, including creating and distributing high-quality content that resonates with their target audience. Additionally, they will learn about email marketing, including how to create and send effective email campaigns and how to use email marketing tools such as Mailchimp and Constant Contact effectively.
The Supplier Development Academy has been developed with SMMES, Youth, and entrepreneurs in mind.
Our digital marketing topics are intended for those who don't know digital marketing or social media marketing, and who have a low level of digital knowledge.
The topics are designed to provide the knowledge and skills needed to excel in the field of digital marketing and social media, including the latest strategies and tactics to drive results for clients or their businesses. The course is suitable for :
SMMEs
Freelancers
Unemployed
Youth 18+
Suppliers
...and anyone working in a modern NGO and NPO who needs to understand the digital ecosystem.
