The digital marketing DJ. Meet Ben.

He comes as bubbly as they get. Driven, energetic with a passion for life and a love for challenges Ben Caruana is an ICE Malta student who has ambitious goals for himself and his colleagues at Growth Gurus. This is his story.

How did your learning journey at ICE Malta begin?
In January 2018 I decided to drop out of my psychology course because I knew that it wasn’t really for me. ICE Malta’s 5-day Professional Diploma in Digital Marketing bootcamp caught my eye and I found myself enrolling for it. Apart from being a super study experience with loads of practical learning, tons of industry insights and great networking opportunities, it inspired me to apply for an internship at Growth Gurus. Fast forward to today and I’m now working with the team as a part-time Social Media Executive. ICE Malta’s bootcamp inspired me to further my learning in the field so I also enrolled in a Bachelors of Communications course at the University of Malta, again.
What’s the bootcamp like and in your opinion who is it ideal for?
The bootcamp was a very intense five days delivered perfectly by one of the best educators I’ve ever had. It was an enjoyable experience, highly interactive and very engaging. I decided to challenge myself and apply for this short 5-day bootcamp, fearing it would not cover enough for me to pass the exam, but my expectations were exceeded – I nailed it. It is ideal for anyone who is willing to dedicate a small amount of time and effort in exchange for a good command of digital marketing tools and strategies for that extra advantage over your competitors.
Are you applying your new skills at work?
I definitely am! The five-day bootcamp as well as studying for my Professional Diploma in Digital Marketing exam gave me the knowledge, insight, skills and confidence to apply all that I was learning in an agile and effective manner.
What are your goals for this year?
2019 is going to be the year I step up my game. I have a lot of sectors where I feel my new knowledge can be applied and I’m excited to see what progress I can achieve at my workplace, and in my private businesses.
What is your message to students?
In today’s day and age it’s imperative to be well educated in digital marketing and if you’re interested in kick-starting your own personal project well then it’s a must. An investment in time and a commitment to learning is minimal compared to the experience and knowledge you will get out of this course.
We recognise true potential and Ben is definitely the real deal. We predict he’ll be scoring massive success very soon and we can’t wait to continue to cheer him on.
