You learn side-by-side from industry experts who’ve built their careers growing brands across sectors and industries and leveraging traditional and digital media to drive business growth.

This will be unlike any other educational experience that you have had online - or even in your MBA programs.

Built with 100% industry expertise, 0% fluff

Course designed & delivered 100% by industry’s top practitioners

You learn best from people who have succeeded in the roles that you want to be in.

Get up to speed through tons of frameworks for identifying brand objectives, identifying an insight, structuring campaigns, evaluating media plans, and more. You learn not just the digital tools, but how to precisely use each of those in different contexts.

Along with our industry experts, we’ve brought tons of insights on the challenges that you face as a marketing professional. Our in-house team has converted all those insights into thought structures which are easy to understand and apply.

In-depth understanding comes from solving real business problems yourself

Marketing recruiters hire lateral talent with relevant experience as they can add value from day 1. In this program, you gain that experience by working on a real business problem. This batch will be working with LEGO to solve an actual problem faced by the brand.

There will be feedbacks at every stage to help you improve and become confident of leading a brand.

You get better at marketing by discussing, not by just doing it yourself

A large part of marketing is articulating your thoughts, taking in new ideas from peers, getting perspectives on your work from experienced / specialised professionals to deliver a fantastic output. Nothing prepares you better for marketing leadership roles than this!

The course promotes this sentiment by making you work in groups of 3-4 and discussing your work with industry experts.

I took up this program to update my skills and be ready for the Brand Management role that I had taken up at that time. I got to learn frameworks and concepts in absolute granularity and they are directly applicable to my job on a daily basis! The journey has been great and this was totally worth my time!

How will this help me succeed in marketing roles?

Unlike campuses where you are hired for potential, later hiring / internal movements happen on the basis of your ability to deliver from Day 1. In that context, career planning laterally requires a different approach.

With Kraftshala, you will go through the process of planning your career with CAMP (Career Acceleration Module for Professionals). It paves the shortest path to your dream roles.

Step #1 - Sharpen your career strategy

What marketing roles should you apply for? What internal roles / projects should you take up?

In this step, instead of wasting time continuously ‘carpet bombing’ anything under the Sun, you focus on strategically building your career plan with expert inputs such that it progressively takes you closer to your dream role. Not carpet bombing, but focused shooting.

Step #2 - Work towards that goal

How do you maximise your chances of getting a shortlist and cracking an interview?

Here you focus on making your profile and your candidature work towards this new marketing career. Unlike campuses where everyone tries to make similar profiles, here you will undergo a very personalised and individual prep depending on YOUR experiences and YOUR goals.

Step #3 - Get a lift in actual placements

1. Insights on highlighting your candidature for relevant recruiters

Once you complete the program, you get INDUSTRYCreds™ certified, which will give companies an understanding of your inclination and relevance to marketing roles. You will get insights on how to make your profiles stand out in front of relevant recruiters on various job platforms

2. Targeted referrals (Once you get INDUSTRYCreds™ certified)

Once you have completed the program and become endorsed by INDUSTRYCreds™ certification of Kraftshala, your profile will be pushed to our network of partners looking to hire, based on the right fit.

PROGRAM FEE

INR 85,000 + GST

Low Cost EMI options available

Your safe space for life with a tribe of like-minded people.

You will be a part of a group of 3-4 people who will come from different experiences. But all of you will have the zeal to go over and above to learn and succeed in marketing and thus will become your safe space! In addition, you get access to a closed knit community of 2500+ ambitious professionals (and growing) becomes available to you for all kinds of support.
