Frequently asked questions

Generative AI enhances digital marketing by enabling personalized content creation, improving customer interactions, and optimizing campaign performance by creating variations for A/B testing. It provides audience insights, helping marketers analyze customer behavior and trends for data-driven decisions. Generative AI also streamlines content creation, generating text, images, and videos efficiently.

Digital marketers can use generative AI to create engaging blog posts, social media captions, email campaigns, and ad copy tailored to different audience segments.  They can also use AI to identify high-ranking keywords, generate meta descriptions, and improve content for search visibility. It’s a powerful tool to make their work faster and more effective.

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:

  • The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.

  • The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Certificate, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.

If you subscribed, you get a 7-day free trial during which you can cancel at no penalty. After that, we don’t give refunds, but you can cancel your subscription at any time. See our full refund policyOpens in a new tab.
