| Jordan Harvich | I attended university and earned a marketing management bachelors degree, expecting to thrive in the world of digital marketing. However, I soon came to realize that the kind of marketing I'm passionate about, digital/social media/creative and content marketing, isn't really taught in college. It's such a new industry and the only real way to learn about it is to study under the professionals in this arena - so I came to Bali and studied at Institute of Code for that very reason. Influencer marketing, social media marketing, photography, videography, editing, blogging, modern marketing...all these concepts were taught in a laid-back, no BS environment that fostered an incredible learning experience. In fact, I can confidently say that I learned more about creative marketing in this single bootcamp than I did in my four years at university. If I had questions that were left unanswered, I could step outside and chat with a mentor beside the pool. If I needed hands-on lessons, I could schedule a morning shoot with a mentor. Forget classrooms and homework and teachers talking AT you. The mentors at IOC were so obviously passionate about what they do, and it showed in their lessons and their work. I also loved the attention and emphasis IOC places on wellness (morning yoga, frequent breaks, healthy foods) as a supplement to education. The course was well-planned and all students were well-accomdated. There's no better way to learn! |
