Here’s what previous mentees say about the program

I was very sure of the quality of the course as I had previously attended the workshop by Deepan. Half way into the course I was thinking of switching into some digital marketing agency where I can implement my course knowledge. Within a week I was interviewed by a Performance Marketing agencies in Pune, When I told them I was a doing a PM course from Growth School. I was offered the job. Thanks a lot Growth School TEAM.
Sukhsagar Singh
I enrolled into this program for personal growth and bringing performance marketing to my tier-II city. I must say the quality of content and the expert advice from the mentor has helped me gain a lot of knowledge. I've been doing digital marketing for the past 4 years but this course and the workshops exposed me to the case-study based practical knowledge enhancing my current skillset. I'd recommend GrowthSchool to anyone and everyone who wants to gain practical exposure in a short frame of time, learning from the experts in the domain.

Overall, I found the performance marketing course a valuable investment in my professional development. The instructors were knowledgeable and engaging, and the course material was comprehensive and up-to-date. I appreciated the practical, hands-on approach to learning, which allowed me to apply the concepts I learned in real-world scenarios. The course was well-structured and easy to follow, and the online platform was user-friendly. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their skills in performance marketing

Performance Marketing was my 3rd program at GrowthSchool. I started getting offers post this course! All the mentors are really amazing, the content was detailed, every time I get so many new things to learn. The assignments are explained in a detailed manner and were really helpful. The extra resources provided helped a lot. Being a Digital Marketer, this Performance Marketing course was more like a cherry on top in boosting my career. Thank you team for all your guidance and wonderful course.”- Megha Chowhan

FAQs: Here’s everything you may ask...

What is this program about?
This program will help you KICKSTART your performance marketing journey.

It will help you understand the nitty-gritty involved in performance marketing.  Understand each component deeply. This program is designed to get you industry-ready in 8 weeks + 2 weeks. With interview preparation and live access to the community.
Is this a completely live program?
No. This is a hybrid of on-demand content and live sessions. Every week you will get access to on-demand content. And you can get all your doubts and queries answered in the QnA sessions.
Are there any prerequisites for this program?
1-to 2 years of experience in the marketing field is what we are looking at here + a willingness to provide time towards learning and exploring this high reward field.
What if I can’t make the live sessions?
The program is designed to work with your schedule. Although we highly encourage you to attend the live sessions it’s not a problem if you can’t.

You’re able to watch the session recordings and participate in discussions and feedback on the community forum.
How much access do I get to Deepan, Ashwin & Sumit?
You’ll have complete access to Deepan & Ashwin’s content for learning but they won’t be a part of any interactions. Whereas, you’ll have weekly live sessions with Sumit

We can’t promise that He will reply to every single message, but He will be active during the live sessions.

He will answer questions, provide feedback, and share his private notes to address common pain points.
What deliverables will I walk away with?
This program is all about upskilling, taking action, and getting industry-ready. 

In the first 8 weeks of the program, you’ll learn all the important components of performance marketing including; fundamentals of performance marketing, creating copies that convert, creating value prop, advanced conversion tracking, understanding google and Facebook ads, media buying, and planning, understanding attribution and automation. 

Once you complete your 8 weeks of upskilling, you’ll be guided on how to go about finding opportunities. From resume preparation to interview preparation, this program will help you become industry-ready.
Couldn’t I find this material online for free?
Yes, the internet is full of information but too much information can confuse and overwhelm you.The information on the internet is littered with excellent advice about performance marketing. With that said, the majority of what you find online is superficial.

It’s written by content marketers who are paid for mass appeal and quantity, not quality. Many of them are paid by the word, which means they have an incentive to rant and ramble.

Even if they give you the “right answer,” it’s not worth very much without the structure and support needed to implement what you learn strategically.

Rather than spending years of your precious life searching for and reading those articles, you will find the best information distilled here into a coherent and actionable framework.

This program is created by REAL practitioners, who understand the topic to its depth.
What kind of opportunities I can expect after the program?
When we talk about opportunities for performance marketers, there are a plethora of opportunities you can either choose to freelance or pick up a part-time or full-time role in any organization that best fits your interest.
I have a jam-packed schedule and I am not sure if I can make it, what do you suggest?
You will have access to the on-demand content to watch whenever you want. You will only need to get into the live sessions but even if you can’t make it, we provide all the recordings. So, mostly we expect you to put in 3-4 hours a week to complete the program successfully.
