Your Digital Marketing trainer

Rajesh Kumar

Principal DevOps Engineer & Architect

20 years in productionPrincipal / architect roles10,000+ engineers trainedM.Tech BITS Pilani25+ certifications

Rajesh teaches Digital Marketing as a measurable acquisition system rather than a tour of platforms: keyword and intent research that drives both organic and paid decisions, technical search work verified in Search Console rather than asserted, paid account structure and bidding tested against real auction behaviour, and event-based analytics where the conversion definition, tagging plan and attribution model are built in front of the class. Every module is demonstrated on live properties and accounts, and each attendee leaves with a working measurement setup they own.

Twenty years across DevOps, SRE and Security, in principal and architect roles at PayPay, SoftwareAG, ServiceNow, JDA Software, Intuit, Adobe and others. He has trained engineers at JPMorgan Chase, Verizon, Nokia, the World Bank, VMware, Oracle, Mercedes-Benz and Airbus — more than 10,000 people personally. He teaches what he runs, not what he reads.

One practitioner, not a bench

You are booked with a named engineer, and that is who turns up. Marketplaces and larger providers rotate whoever is free, so the person who sold you the agenda is rarely the person teaching it.

The same trainer is available for the next engagement, which matters when a team builds on what it learned last time.

Who delivers Digital Marketing engagements

Your batch is assigned a named trainer before it starts, and that is who teaches it. See the full faculty.

How your Digital Marketing trainer is chosen

Engagements are matched on the tool, not the calendar. For Digital Marketing that means a trainer who has run it in production — search, social, paid media and analytics run as one measurable acquisition system rather than five disconnected channels — rather than whoever is free that week. You are told who is teaching before you commit, and that person is on the discovery call that shapes the agenda.

Where a batch is large enough to need a second trainer, the pairing is declared up front. The lead trainer stays accountable for the syllabus and the assessment either way.

# private batches

Private Digital Marketing training for your team

A private batch starts with a discovery call. We look at the stack you actually run — the CI system, the cloud, the constraints — and map the agenda onto it, so examples use your topology rather than a generic one.

Delivery is onsite at your premises, live online, or hybrid, scheduled around your release calendar rather than ours. Batches run 8 to 30 engineers.

Every attendee leaves with recordings, slides, lab repositories and a completion certificate. You receive an attendance and assessment report. Invoicing supports PO and GST.

# the technology

What is Digital Marketing?

Digital Marketing is the discipline of acquiring and retaining customers through channels that are measurable end to end — search engines, websites, paid media, social platforms, email and messaging — where every impression, click and conversion can in principle be attributed to a decision someone made. That measurability is what separates it from broadcast advertising, and it is also where most teams come unstuck.

The field breaks into a few interlocking parts. Search engine optimisation earns visibility by making a site technically crawlable, topically credible and genuinely useful. Paid search and display buy visibility through an auction, where structure, relevance and bidding strategy determine what a click costs. Social platforms serve both discovery and retention through owned audiences and paid amplification. Analytics ties the whole thing together, defining what counts as a conversion, how visits are grouped into sessions and users, and which touchpoints get credit.

What makes Digital Marketing genuinely difficult in practice is that these parts influence each other. A keyword strategy shapes both organic content and paid structure. A landing page decides paid quality and organic ranking simultaneously. A tagging error breaks attribution for every channel at once. Practitioners who only know one channel tend to optimise it at the expense of the others, which is why this training treats acquisition as one system with a shared measurement layer.

Why this skill matters now

The measurement foundations of digital marketing changed under the industry's feet, and a large number of practising marketers are still working from the older model. Session-based analytics gave way to an event-based one, third-party cookies and cross-site identifiers have been progressively restricted, consent requirements now govern what may be collected at all, and platforms increasingly report modelled conversions rather than directly observed ones.

At the same time, search behaviour has shifted. Results pages carry more answers and fewer plain links, generative summaries change what a click is worth, and search engines have moved from a handful of named algorithm updates to continuous quality evaluation with periodic core updates. Ranking tactics built around keyword density and link volume have decayed accordingly.

The consequence is that the market now pays for judgement rather than button-clicking. Teams need people who can define a conversion honestly, build tagging that survives a privacy review, structure a paid account so budget follows intent, produce content that satisfies both a reader and a search engine's quality expectations, and report a number that finance and marketing both believe. That combination is scarce, and it is what this course is built around.

What your team can do afterwards

Build an acquisition plan that connects audience, intent, channel and conversion instead of treating each platform separately
Run keyword and intent research that produces a content and paid structure, not just a spreadsheet of search volumes
Diagnose and fix technical search problems — crawling, indexing, site structure, page experience and structured data — and verify the fix
Write and structure content that satisfies search quality expectations and still reads as though a person wrote it for a person
Earn and evaluate links and citations without buying into tactics that invite a manual action
Build a paid search account whose structure, match types, negatives and bidding strategy follow commercial intent
Plan and run social campaigns across professional, video and short-form platforms with creative built for each format
Implement event-based analytics: conversion definitions, a tagging plan, consent handling, campaign tagging and reporting that survives scrutiny
Attribute results across channels honestly, explain the limits of the model, and report a number the business will act on
# curriculum

8 modules. Live demos in a real lab, not slides.

01The acquisition systemLive & Interactive5 hrs · 2 assignments · 1 capstone

  • Assignments: (1) Map one product's customer journey with the channel serving each stage; (2) Define three conversion actions worth measuring and justify each
  • Capstone: Produce an acquisition plan connecting audience, intent, channel and conversion for a real offering
02Search fundamentals and keyword researchLive & Interactive5 hrs · 2 assignments · 1 capstone

  • Capstone: Deliver a keyword and site-structure plan derived from real demand data
03Technical and on-page optimisationLive & Interactive5 hrs · 2 assignments · 1 capstone

The work that decides whether good content ever gets a chance. Site architecture and internal linking, crawl budget and index control, titles and headings, page experience and speed, structured data, and verifying every change in Search Console rather than assuming it worked.

  • Capstone: Deliver a prioritised technical audit with fixes implemented and verified
04Content, quality and off-page authorityLive & Interactive5 hrs · 2 assignments · 1 capstone

Earning credibility rather than manufacturing it. Content that answers a query completely, quality signals and what search engines say they reward, link and citation earning, evaluating link quality, and recovering from a ranking drop after a core update or a manual action.

Topics: Content built around a query, not a keyword count · Quality signals: expertise, experience, trust · Earning links and citations · Evaluating link quality and risk · Core updates and how to respond to a drop · Manual actions, penalties and recovery

  • Assignments: (1) Rewrite an underperforming page against real query intent; (2) Audit an existing link profile and flag the risky sources

06Paid search and displayLive & Interactive5 hrs · 2 assignments · 1 capstone

Buying intent in an auction. Account and campaign structure, match types and negative keywords, ad relevance and quality, bidding strategies and what each one optimises for, budget pacing, and display and remarketing where intent is weaker.

07Social platforms and owned audienceLive & Interactive5 hrs · 2 assignments · 1 capstone

Discovery, retention and paid amplification across platforms with different mechanics. Professional network targeting for business audiences, short-form and video formats, community and reputation management, creative built per format, and email as the audience you actually own.

My experience with the AIOps training was positive. The course covered important topics in a structured way, and Rajesh Kumar explained the concepts patiently. I found the practical aspects particularly helpful because they made the technical content easier to understand.
AARTI KUMARI · Trustpilot
★★★★★
I was looking to improve my understanding of AIOps, and this training helped me achieve that goal. Rajesh Kumar explained the subject in a structured and practical manner. The sessions on different AIOps concepts were informative.
Sonali Tiwari · Trustpilot
★★★★★
I recently did a SRE Session with Rajesh Kumar from DevOps School and the session was great. Right from 1st day till day 15, we had a very interactive session. Rajesh clarified our doubts and the tool demos were excellent without any hiccups. He simplified the concepts while sticking to the content with a fine balance between theory and practice. Am convinced he is one of the best trainers for SRE & DevOps concepts.
chandrasekaran j · Trustpilot
★★★★★
The Rundeck developer session was excellent and highly engaging. I appreciated how well the session was structured, with the theoretical concepts explained clearly and in simple terms. What stood out most to me was the demo — it was both informative and enjoyable. I especially liked how Rajesh walked us through not only the happy path but also the sad path, showcasing common issues and sharing practical troubleshooting tips.

★★★★★
Rajesh's experience and knowledge are exceptional and we learnt invaluable practical knowledge which we can apply in our production environment. Incredibly friendly and gave us a fantastic insight both in-depth and at a high level of the Rundeck product.

# questions

Frequently asked

Is this a tool course or a strategy course?
Both, in that order of dependence. Every module ends in hands-on work in a real account or property, but the tool work is always attached to a decision — what to target, what to fix, what to measure and why.
Do you teach the current analytics model or the old one?
The current event-based model, including key events, consent handling and modelled data. Where the older session-based way of thinking still shapes how people read reports, we call it out explicitly, because that mismatch causes most reporting arguments.
Do we need our own website and ad budget?
A site you can change is strongly preferred, since the technical and analytics work is far more valuable on your own property. A small paid budget helps the paid modules, but the labs can also run against a demo account if that is not possible.
Can the agenda be customised for our business?
Yes — that is the normal case for a private batch. We start with a discovery call, look at your market, sales cycle, current channels and existing analytics setup, and rebuild the module list around them.
Is this suitable for a business-to-business company?
Yes. For business-to-business batches we weight the agenda towards professional-network targeting, long sales cycles, content depth, lead quality over volume, and attribution across a multi-touch journey rather than a single click.
How long does a private batch take?
Three to four days for the full agenda. A focused two-day version covers search, paid and analytics but drops the social, local and attribution depth.
Do you deliver onsite?
Yes. Private batches run onsite at your premises, live online, or hybrid. You provide the room and the team; we bring the trainer, agenda, labs, assessment and certificates.
What size are batches?
Private corporate batches run 8 to 30 people. Public Live & Interactive cohorts are capped at 10 so everyone gets time with the trainer.
Do attendees get a certificate?
Yes — every attendee receives a completion certificate, verifiable at devopsschool.com/certificates. Corporate batches also receive an attendance and assessment report.
Will this help with platform certifications?
It covers the underlying material for the common ads and analytics certifications and goes beyond them into strategy and measurement design. If certification is a goal, say so and we align the practice work with the exam objectives.
What is your refund position?
If we cancel or postpone a cohort, you receive a full refund within 15 days. There is no general money-back guarantee, and GST and gateway fees are not refunded.
