>> So I would recommend that you definitely have a marketing foundation
so that you can understand the fundamentals of marketing because it's still,
at the end of the day, trying to get your brand out there and promotion
and all of those things-- distribution across channels, information,
and how best to present that and connect with people.
But where digital marketing I feel like difference in terms
of education is the tactical aspect of it.
I would recommend developing your specific niche skill set.
So if you are within that whole sort of rainbow if you can hone in on the graphic design element
of it or the website development developer sort of element of it, or the email marketing
like email marketing is my special niche.
Or the social media aspect of it.
All of those things require some level of tactical.
They require some level of writing.
They require some level of sort of understanding of marketing principles in general.
If you can't do a digital internship specifically,
I would suggest finding a nonprofit where you can volunteer.
So I'm currently the volunteer on a committee
for a nonprofit organization called Partners of the Good Shepherd of Jamaica.
And so I actually use my skills to build their email marketing campaigns to help with sort
of development and management of the website and sort
of social media create the plans and things like that.
So I'm able to get the experience that would help to strengthen my skills while helping
that nonprofit accomplish their mission.
