Foreword
Almost 20 years ago I postulated the 10/90 Rule for Digital Marketing: If you have $100 to spend on being successful, spend $10 on tools and $90 on people!
Since then, this rule has only become truer, as free tools for every digital task have proliferated and others have become cheaper. What remains expensive are the smart people that you need to successfully imagine competitive strategies, convert them into effective marketing tactics, and measure what matters.
I'm superexcited about OMCP, since it is a program that offers a highquality signal reflecting knowledge and experience. You knowit helps answer whether this human is the right investment for your $90.
Hence, I'm thrilled that Greg, Matt, and Michael decided to write the biblical guide to OMCA certification. Their knowledge spans strategy, brand and performance marketing, comprehensive guidance on digital analytics, crucial areas like SEO, digital advertising, content marketing, social media marketing, as well as conversion optimization, email marketing, and mobile marketing! Each chapter has the detail you need to learn core concepts and pointers on how you can use this book as a jumpingoff point into the deep end of any of the topics.
Greg, Matt, and Michael also persuaded Brad, Kim, and Cindy to contribute their wisdom and industry insights, making the book that much more valuable.
Like me, you will read the book to be among those who have the rare honor of earning OMCA certification, but I believe you'll keep it as a handy reference guide at work to look up the guidance you'll need to deliver an outsized impact.
All the best!

Introduction
Who Should Read This Book?
This book is intended for those who will drive digital marketing initiatives, manage digital marketing teams, or communicate digital marketing concepts. It is perfect for those who are transitioning into a career in digital marketing or for students who wish to learn generally accepted practices of digital marketing.
It can also be used as a study guide or to supplement a digital marketer's preparation for OMCA certification. The OMCA certification verifies knowledge across multiple digital marketing disciplines. It is often used as a minimum requirement for marketing team members at advertising agencies or other businesses that perform inhouse marketing. Groups who train or hire to OMCA standards lead the industry in digital marketing performance.
Why Get a Digital Marketing Certification?
It's no longer enough to simply claim expertise as a digital marketer. Employers and clients know that they are best served by marketers whose knowledge and skills are current and verified.
According to the 2019 OMCP Role Study, which asked more than 4,000 professionals about their digital marketing priorities, companies and agencies are no longer looking for onetrick ponies. Hiring managers unanimously require employees to have conceptual knowledge and skills across five of the top eight disciplinessearch engine optimization, content marketing, social media marketing, digital advertising (including priceperclick), mobile marketing, email marketing, conversion rate optimization, and digital analytics. In addition, subject matter experts must master two or more disciplines as well as digital marketing strategy to be considered for a senior position.
