The half-life of digital marketing know-how is about 2.5 years

Everything is changing, rapidly. The faster the pace of knowledge change, the more valuable learning becomes. Standing still is falling behind.

The winners are adapting. There’s an army of hungry, motivated people eager to develop new skills. There’s an army of hungry upstarts coming for your market share.

If you’re not continuously learning, you’re on the road to losing.

The future belongs to marketers with a broad understanding of the entire marketing mix, and in-depth expertise in a couple of areas

With the exponentially increasing rate of change, the future you’re building cannot be realised and executed with old fashioned marketing. You need to be much more data savvy and agile than ever before.

This produces the need for ‘T-shaped marketers’; people who have a broad understanding of the capabilities, function and roles of all the various elements of marketing.

The best marketing teams in the world today have T-shaped talent. In-depth skills in multiple disciplines, and broad knowledge across the company.

You need deep knowledge across the full funnel—deeply versed in analytics, well-versed in content, well-versed in landing page design, all of it. And broad knowledge across your whole company and how it all fits together.

This is what we focus on at CXL Institute.

You need 3 things for accelerated skill development

There’s a massive difference between learning and learning.

1. If you learn from average people, you pick up sub-optimal habits. The return on time spent learning is gonna be poor. If you’re gonna dedicate those precious hours to learning, make it count.
2. If you don’t have accountability, you’re less likely to dedicate time to learning. Everyone should be expected to present what they learned each month, and everyone’s learning progress has to be fully transparent.
3. You need the right learning architecture to make sure the training results in improved performance on the job.
   

We call this the 3 pillars of accelerated learning.

That’s why at CXL Institute,

1. you learn from the best to become the best
2. each course and lesson follows performance-focused training methods
3. team plans come with full transparency and managerial accountability
