About this course

This is the final stage of the Ucanly Digital Marketing and Growth Strategy track, where growth professionals become growth leaders. Built for practitioners with hands on experience owning growth channels, budgets, and measured results, this program goes deep into growth strategy and defensibility, including growth loops versus funnels and demand creation. You will master advanced measurement including incrementality testing, geo experiments, and marketing mix modelling, and build financial leadership skills covering LTV modelling, the Rule of 40, and growth business cases. In your week six minor project, you will build a complete measurement and budget allocation engagement with marketing mix modelling, an incrementality test design, a driver model, and a defended budget reallocation to a leadership panel. You will design channel portfolio strategy, full funnel brand and demand plans, and AI growth systems including agentic marketing operations and governance. You will graduate having architected a board ready growth strategy and operating plan in your week twelve major project, with a market and channel thesis, a financial and LTV model, a measurement architecture, an AI growth system design, a team and org plan, and a live executive defense.
