Taught by top 1% growth marketers from companies like Shopify, Seismic and CXL.

Master today’s most in-demand marketing skills.

Companies will fight over you for the skills you’ll acquire here. The most sought-after marketing roles today are those that focus on paid acquisition and conversion optimization, and that’s what you will master here.

This program takes you from a beginner to a specialist in 12 weeks and becomes a CXL certified digital marketer, the badge employers care about.

Great marketing is your last real competitive advantage.

In 2016, Drift’s CEO, David Cancel, famously said that the era of product-based differentiation is going away. By now, we can conclude that it has already gone away.

The way to win today is through marketing, and so the work you as the marketer do has never been more critical. Companies are aware of that, and that’s why digital marketing specialists are one of the top 10 most in-demand roles in 2022.

Laser focused on what matters. Master customer acquisition and revenue growth.

We live and work in an oversaturated market. Brands need to grow, and grow fast. To do that, your go-to strategy is almost always paid acquisition and conversion optimization.

That’s what this training focuses on, helping you master the biggest growth lever you can pull:

  • Facebook ads
  • LinkedIn ads
  • Google ads
  • Email marketing
  • Landing page optimization

Beyond the acquisition channel mastery, you’ll also learn how to get and understand your data, manage your team and create and execute on your content marketing strategy.

What is a Minidegree program?

Course is a puzzle piece. Minidegree is the whole puzzle. It’s a complete training program that teaches you everything from A to Z and takes you on a path towards becoming the top 1% marketer.

All of our instructors are hand-picked and carefully vetted. Our approach is straightforward – every instructor needs to be the absolute best in the world at what they do.

What you’ll learn and how…

We work with industry experts to determine the most relevant topics. What is valuable and in-demand has informed our curriculum more than anything else.

Victor A.

CXL gave me a big lift in my career.

Few months after my Growth Marketing Minidegree, I got a job.

Ever since then, the story has been different.

Tomek D.

Our Growth Marketing agency has completed 1298 lessons and 138 courses at the Institute so far. CXL helps us in a number of ways:
1. Provides an incredible source of content to train our staff.
2. Is a good tool in keeping our staff (they’re growing and we aid in that).
3. Is an awesome source of new opinions/methods to try out on our clients. 

Radvilas Š.

Anyone interested in genuinely understanding the math behind CRO and A/B testing absolutely has to use CXL.

My whole team has a great time discussing the material and aligning our views on processes we use, and to come up with ideas to implement in the future.

Ruben D.

The wide variety of courses taught by many different experts makes CXL highly recommended for every team who takes growth seriously.

New courses are regularly available, making it better and better. CXL is a great platform for learning and growing businesses.

Yasmine de Aranada, Growth Strategist @ Market 8

This course is packed with gold! Momoko is an awesome teacher – I took the course late so only got access to recordings, and even with that, I am able to use every bit of it in my deliverable.

Josh R.

CXL has lead to more professional growth than any other year of my life. The best educational investment I have ever made.

Chris Out

For the hard skills, we use CXL to enable all our growth hackers and CRO people, who have different clients with different needs. Everybody can follow a tailored course for the stuff that they need to learn. The next thing we do, we create a learning plan per person, and we check in with people to see how fast are they learning. That learning plan is created based on their ambitions, what their clients need, and how they want to evolve.

Crystal Ignatowski, Marketing Content Developer @ Surety Solutions

I’ll be honest, I didn’t entirely understand what the CXL was at first. Then, I realized it was a gold mine. The Institute is jam-packed with courses, certificate programs, and recordings of past events/courses. The CXL was my guide book for many many months and because of that, I am leaps and bounds above the rest. Everything the Institute publishes is part of the top 5%. There is no fluff in the Institute; only real, actionable, and result-driven content. If you think you know stuff, give the CXL a try. You’ll be shocked at how much you have to gain.
