For individuals who are new to E-commerce and digital marketing, this course is extremely beneficial as it provides clear explanations of industry-specific terminology through its video content. Additionally, it offers guidance on identifying relevant keywords for job searches within the digital marketing and E-commerce fields. Several of the course instructors draw from their own personal experiences to outline common challenges that newcomers to digital marketing may encounter, along with the solutions they have found to overcome them.

I loved the learning material provided in the course. It might seem like a very basic and simple course, but it is jam packed with a lot of useful knowledge which necessary for anybody who is just starting out in Digital marketing and E-commerce.
I have a small issue with the production quality of the content. I'm an audio engineer and I have noticed several issues with the audio quality of the course videos. I have corrected a few of them and are willing to collaborate with Coursera and google for the betterment of this fantastic course.

"Foundations of Digital Marketing and E-commerce" certificate by Google was a game-changer for me. The content was well-organized and relevant, making it easy to understand key concepts. I especially appreciated the hands-on projects that allowed me to apply what I learned in real-world scenarios. The flexibility of studying at my own pace was a huge plus, and having a certification from Google feels like a significant boost to my career prospects. Overall, I found the course to be informative, practical, and worth the investment.

Fantastic foundation for digital marketing. It really makes you think about which direction to take it since the field is quite vast. You can't do it all. In fact, they don't recommend that you do and because of that, you know that this course is on the level. There will be many people trying to sell you a course that will tell you can. That's just for them to take your money. This is the best value that I've seen price performance wise, even compared to LinkedIn Learning with a library card or education institution number.

This course is fantastic! Between the video instruction and the readings, one can gain a clear foundational understanding of the amount of work that goes into marketing and e-commerce. I particularly enjoyed learning about the marketing funnel as it was an eye-opener as to why one might be receiving an ad or viewing a marketing campaign at any given time. I highly recommend you watch each video twice, once just to hear the information provided, the second to take notes as the main concepts of each lesson are shared there.

This course gives you a broad overview of digital marketing and e-commerce. It was well designed to build on top of what you previously learned in each step. It's a true representation of a foundation course. After taking this course I feel I have a better understanding of the entire digital marketing and e-commerce space. That being said it's a broad outside looking in understanding. You will still need continuing education to really be knowledgeable in this industry. I look forward to what's next.

Its a great source of foundational information. Having said that one may benefit with using this along side some YouTube videos explaining specific information. Also taking good notes will greatly help. I recommend this course for the beginning Digital Marketing journeys you all are on right now . Maybe one of these days I'll be helping you along in these courses one day as an instructor. These instructors did a great job of conveying the information while keeping my attention. Great course!!!

A volume of information! The teacher was perfect in her delivery. The curriculum was extremely thorough as a foundational course. A natural progression of the scaffolding of the topics and content, with an understanding that the following course would further reinforce this initial course. This is important because there was a mountain of information for a newbie to digital marketing in this course. Brought a nice feeling of accomplishment upon completion. Got me excited for the second course.

This is a good, basic introductory course for individuals who are new to the concepts of digital marketing and e-commerce. If you are someone like me, who is familiar with traditional marketing, this course can help you with your goal to update your marketing skills. It's a very basic course, but necessary to take before moving on in the certificate program. It's probably not good as a stand-alone course, unless you are just taking the course for informational purposes, not career-building.

The Google 'Foundations of Digital Marketing and E-commerce' provides an entry-level student with the groundwork for marketing in the digital media landscape. The course offers insights into what sort of jobs are available and how they fit into the grander scheme of the marketing process. Exploring models for marketing and there related industry-specific terminology helped remove the obscurity of highly specific and gate-kept knowledge, and laid out the steps to develop a successful career.

Thank you, Joi, for presenting the concepts of digital marketing and e-commerce. Your deep knowledge of the marketing foundations and the way you shared it is motivating. It was great to revise the knowledge I already have and to get a glimpse of the new concepts that I’m going to explore. And the best phrase that I picked up from the first course of the program so far is this: “We learn the most through doing, so find opportunities to practice.” Kind regards, Alex Salikov

Reflecting on the e-commerce and digital marketing program so far, I’m pleasantly surprised by the depth of analytics and data-driven decision-making emphasized in the coursework. Understanding how metrics can directly inform marketing strategies has been particularly enlightening. I found the discussions on customer segmentation and targeting to be especially interesting, as they highlight the importance of tailoring marketing efforts to meet diverse consumer needs.

Excelente! Bien explicado, a pesar de que la teoría de la materia es extensa no resulta pesado ni complicado de aprender. Me gusta que motiven bastante al alumno y no solo le brinden herramientas de estudio sino también herramientas para aplicar lo aprendido en el área laboral, te preparan psicológica, laboral y académicamente. Estoy muy emocionada por seguir aprendiendo y creciendo en mi carrera como especialista en Marketing Digital. Gracias Google y Coursera!

I like this course! It helped me to summarize knowledge I already had. Especially useful were the next topics: marketing funnels and customer journey, building a marketing strategy, introduction to performance marketing and data storytelling. Also liked format a lot - great structure and speakers. In particular I want to note the huge marketing glossary you receive, passing the course in English. It's like 2 courses in 1 (English for marketers already included)

This course provided a very thorough explanation of the digital marketing and eCommerce industries. It gave me clear expectations of roles and responsibilities and creative ways to stand out in the field. What I loved the most is that it included interviews of current time professionals at Google who shared their experiences and encouraging words. I also liked that it was not 100% video based. There were interactive portions and independent reading as well.
