Our mission is to bridge the gap between academic theory and industry practice, creating the next generation of digital marketing leaders
Back to HomeOur Journey: Pioneering Digital Excellence Since 2017
From humble beginnings to Sri Lanka's premier digital marketing academy
DigitalGuru Academy was founded in 2017 with a simple yet ambitious vision: to democratize digital marketing education and make world-class training accessible to aspiring professionals across Sri Lanka. What started as a small training center in Colombo has evolved into the island's most respected digital marketing institution.
Our founders, seasoned digital marketing veterans with international agency experience, recognized a critical gap in the local market. While Sri Lankan businesses were rapidly embracing digital transformation, there was a severe shortage of skilled digital marketing professionals who could navigate the complexities of modern online marketing landscapes.
Over the past eight years, we have continuously refined our curriculum, staying ahead of industry trends and technological advances. From the early days of basic SEO and social media training, we have expanded to cover advanced topics including marketing automation, artificial intelligence in marketing, and data-driven decision making. Our commitment to excellence has earned us recognition from leading digital agencies, multinational corporations, and industry associations throughout South Asia.
