ADVANCED ONLINE ADVERTISING PROGRAM Certified by Google Program Director: Priyanka Kapuria Last Date to Apply: September 14, 2010 Program Start Date: October 5, 2010
BACKGROUND Internet penetration is rising exponentially in India. Statistics show 50% year-on-year internet user growth in India. Also, with the introduction of 3G technology, this number is expected to rise further and at a faster pace. This clearly implies that internet is going to be one of the most potent tools in the marketing and advertising domain. Despite this extensive internet penetration, marketers and advertising professionals in India are not able to use internet effectively as a marketing tool (Online ad spends in India comprise half a percentage of GDP whereas, in countries like the US, the ratio is 1.5%). This is due to lack of training and practical experience in the online space. To reduce this gap, Google has tied up with NIIT so that more and more professionals are trained through Advanced Online Advertising Program. Over the next one year, Google envisions to train a significant number of professionals in this program. WHAT THE PROGRAM WILL COVER The increasing usage of internet and online media by consumers has given the opportunity to marketers to target the right audience at the right time at the right place. Today, 65 million Indians use the Internet and use Google a billion times a month. To expose the consumers to their products and offerings, marketers need to plan and choose the right mix of online properties thus, improving the ROI of online advertising. An important aspect of Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is placing your product in the right searches, maximising visibility of your product and ensuring cost effectiveness of your digital marketing plans at the same time. This is where the Google Certified Program can help. Certified by Google, this program will equip you with tools and capabilities to help you maximise your brand s visibility on SEM and assessing the effectiveness of your online marketing plans.
