Paul Z.

Been a long-time reader of the CXL blog and just started my first Minidegree (Brand Marketing), just attended CXL 10.

I’m just absolutely blown away by the quality of content and thought CXL puts into their experiences. Count me as a lifelong customer.

Penny Mayry

Andy did an amazing job of bringing you into the conversation. He made it easy to follow and remember an insane amount of information, and the accompanying slides had great memorable visuals.

Tony G.

CXL is my go-to platform if I want to learn anything about marketing. Purely because the content is so good. Taught by leading practitioners in their field.

If you are serious about learn your topic properly then these courses are for you. The minidegrees are worth every penny. It is an investment in you.

Alejandro Chimalpopoca Divéze

It was a structured and ready-to-be-implemented plan for Facebook Ads that solved the exact problem I had. After just a couple of months, we stopped pulling our hair, and our clients stopped pausing campaigns every time costs went up, because we had a working per-funnel strategy that not only drove more results at a lower cost but also justified a constant increase in investment.

Ap S.

CXL is just the best place to grow for a marketer. I learned more in a few months via CXL than what I learned in 8, 9 months on my own.

David P.

Regarding my job today, I learned more with three courses in CXL than I did during three years in top European business courses.

Matt R.

Anyone would benefit from CXL, and that goes from interns up to CEOs. That’s really been the case in our company.

After their training sessions you’re fully equipped… you can go off and implement your learnings straight away.

Lauren Deal

I originally took the course because as a new agency owner you can feel lost or like you don’t know if you are quite on the right track. This course was packed with information and felt like money well spent. After I was done I felt like all my questions were answered, and I had a clear course to chart forward with.

Luiz Freires

The course is very hands-on with reports open all the time and with analysis and improvements applied constantly. It has a great didactic approach and can be extremely useful for a marketer or for product professionals at all levels.
