OMCA case studies

OMCA · Put your knowledge to work in context.

The OMCA™ Digital Marketing Certification is a vendor-neutral credential offered through OMCP, an independent industry association that maintains competency and exam standards for online marketing. It verifies skills, education, and experience rather than platform-specific know-how, and OMCP states that over 900 universities and training institutes teach to OMCA standards. It suits generalist digital marketers: managers of marketing teams, recent graduates of digital marketing courses, people with roughly 600 hours of experience, or anyone using it as a first step toward the specialist OMCP® certification. The exam is proctored online 24/7 and tests concept-level understanding across eight disciplines: digital analytics, social media marketing, SEO, content marketing, digital advertising including PPC, conversion optimization (UX), email marketing, and mobile marketing. The OMCA case studies are 5 cases and about 4,416 words.
