Take Our Digital Marketing Quiz!

Digital skills are fundamental in most professions, but what about public sector and government​?

In their quest to continue to support government and public sector staff, The Public Sector Marketing Institute has created a digital marketing skills quiz. It's not scientific, but it's a great way to test your knowledge!

Each question is scored and you will get a result at the end to determine: high, moderate, or low knowledge. 

Feel free to share this with any comms/marketing colleagues in your department or organisation.
