Micro-upskilling: Media & member reaction

A core tenet of our mission as the driving force of intelligent marketing is to have a data and marketing industry commited to the development of the people who power it: a commitment to the creation of cultures of excellence and continuous, structured learning across the industry.

That's what powers our call for DMA Members to pledge an hour a week for marketers to upskill and learn - and why we feel this micro-upskilling approach is so vital.

We've certainly set tongues wagging.

On this page we'll collect news, views and reactions to our campaign to have constant improvement a key pillar of the working week in data and marketing:
