Indian Marketing School Curriculum Walkthrough: What You'll Master

Indian Marketing School is Chennai's first practitioner-led marketing school. Here's exactly what you'll master in our 12-week programme — module by module, week by week.

Why Indian Marketing School Exists

Most marketing programmes in India are taught by people who haven't run a real campaign in 5+ years.

Indian Marketing School flips this. Every instructor is currently running campaigns at brands or agencies.

The curriculum is rebuilt every 90 days to reflect what's actually working — not what was on a 2018 textbook.

Module 1: Marketing Foundations (Week 1-2)

Marketing principles, customer research, positioning, brand strategy.

Output: a 2-page brand positioning document for a real client (provided by IMS).

Module 2: Performance Marketing (Week 3-5)

Meta Ads, Google Ads, conversion tracking, attribution.

Output: a live ₹5000 Meta + Google Ads campaign. See our performance marketing roadmap for the deeper view.

Module 3: SEO & Content (Week 6-7)

Keyword research, on-page SEO, content strategy, link building.

Output: a 1500-word article ranking for a chosen long-tail keyword by week 12.

12 weeks. Classes meet 4 days per week (~16 hours/week of in-class time + 8-10 hours of project work).
