Meet Alex: Marketing & Data Analytics Specialist
Meet Alex, Crebilo editor and marketing and data analytics specialist, who sets the review standards for the site.
Background
Alex works at the meeting point of marketing and data: understanding audiences, measuring what works, and turning numbers into decisions. Those are the same skills that data and marketing certificates promise to teach. That is why Alex can judge these programs from the inside, by asking whether they teach what working professionals actually do, rather than repeating the promises on a course page.
Why this matters for the reviews on Crebilo
Many certificate reviews describe a course from the outside. Alex studies the course and then tests it against real marketing and analytics practice.
Data analytics courses
For programs such as Google Data Analytics, Google Advanced Data Analytics and IBM Data Science, Alex checks whether the curriculum builds real analysis skills: cleaning data, querying it, visualising it and explaining the result. He also asks whether the projects are good enough to show an employer.
Marketing courses
For programs such as Google Digital Marketing, Meta Social Media Marketing and HubSpot Inbound Marketing, Alex checks whether the lessons reflect how campaigns are really planned, measured and improved, and what you can show a hiring manager afterwards.
How Alex reviews a course
- Curriculum depth. What is actually taught, and how much of it is just an introduction?
- Real skills and projects. Will you finish with work you can show, not just a certificate?
- Time and cost. How many hours it realistically takes, and what “free” really includes.
- Employer recognition. Whether employers actually ask for it, and for which roles.
- Who it is for. Who will benefit, and who should choose something else.
- Drawbacks. Every review lists the weaknesses next to the strengths.
