To integrate the online and offline advertising ecosystem

2 years in alternating education

E-commerce banners that remind you of the product left in the cart, dynamic ads that adapt to the time, DOOH screens whose visuals change at the first cloud: media buying is now played in milliseconds, driven by data and AI. This certification program in 2 years teaches you to decode audiences in real-time, buy programmatically (open auction & deals), customize each impression on ad exchanges and measure performance finely (attribution, incrementality, MMM). AI workshops, advertiser cases, and technical certifications punctuate the training to design, activate, and optimize 360° media strategies aligned with the business objectives of brands.

Beyond the courses, action-based pedagogy transitions your skills from theoretical to operational with several flagship projects. At the end of the 2 years, you are ready to join media agencies, publishers, advertisers, or media outlets.
