Last year, you told us that you need simple yet powerful tools that make it easy for you to market with Cisco. So, we revamped Marketing Velocity back in July to help you do just that. Now we’re going to take that to the next level!

As we head into the new year, I wanted to share the key updates we’ve been working on for Marketing Velocity that can help you elevate your marketing practice and own your edge.

Sharpen your marketing skills on the go

First up, I’m happy to introduce new learning paths from Marketing Velocity Learning. These are on-demand, modular, comprehensive trainings developed to make you an expert in the areas you have asked us about most.

Our very first path is available now: Developing a Successful Digital Marketing Campaign. This path includes 7 progressive modules that can transform you and your team into campaign planning pros.  Once completed, you can even share your snazzy certificate of completion with your colleagues to inspire them!

Specifically, you’ll learn how to:

  • Put together a pitch-perfect plan
  • Debut your campaign using the latest trends in digital marketing
  • Measure and report on how it works

Stay tuned for the next learning path on Building a Social Selling Practice, launching next month. In the meantime, share your feedback below with ideas for future paths you’d like to see!
