Digital Growth Institute launches Digital Jumpstart Program
Team training program aims to transform financial institutions’ marketing, so they can grow from good to great by attracting, nurturing, and converting digital leads for loans and new accounts.
HOUSTON, TX (November 28, 2017) —
Financial services digital marketing firm Digital Growth Institute (formerly CU Grow) has opened its Digital Jumpstart Program for banks and credit unions to help transform their marketing efforts from antiquated to contemporary using proven digital applications that generate loans and new accounts. Digital Growth Institute’s Digital Growth Jumpstart Program is now open for sign ups and commences January 30, 2018.
The Digital Growth Jumpstart Program, developed by founder and CEO James Robert Lay, teaches marketers a proven framework designed exclusively for financial institutions that show them how to jumpstart their digital marketing. Students commit an average of 3-4 hours a week to the program for six months, pushing them to break free from the legacy systems and thinking that kept them from maximizing their financial institution’s digital growth potential.
According to Lay, this program is not an online course. It is a learning experience that combines the best of on-demand classroom training, exercises, peer group coaching, and one-on-one consulting – all done from the convenience of the student’s office or training room.
“This program is a transformative training and consulting guide designed exclusively for banks and credit unions,” explains Lay. “Digital growth is not just about marketing. It’s about marketing, sales, operations, and IT working together to break free from legacy thinking, processes, and systems. It’s not just for marketers. Other key stakeholders can learn a proven framework together that is rooted at the intersection of marketing, sales, technology, and consumer behavior.”
