This course was particularly intriguing to learn the go-to marketing strategy and how important it is to classify your customer segments and audience to determine how to reach them.

I loved this course so much because it has challenged my perspective on story telling. One thing that stood out were limitations to story stelling whereas I managed to undertand and note what my challenge was and worked towards it.
