Digital skills at the heart of professional transformations
The digital revolution has profoundly changed the world of marketing, which relies increasingly heavily on data and requires new creative, analytical and technical skills. To meet considerable demand, L'Oréal and General Assembly developed and launched DM1 or “Digital Marketing Level 1”: a professional test designed to help individuals and companies assess the full range of skills required for digital marketing today. L’Oréal is the first company to use DM1 on a large scale. Nearly 80% of the Group’s marketing professionals have taken the test and received personalised training recommendations. The Group now uses the test in the hiring process to identify a broader and more diverse range of talents.
