The organization is now the career growth and development gold standard for marketing professionals worldwide

FARMINGTON, MN, March 28, 2023 /24-7PressRelease/ — National Institute for Social Media (NISM), the leading social media certification and education organization, announced today it has acquired OMCP, the digital marketing certification body and industry standards association.

OMCP offers certifications in SEO, advertising, analytics, conversion, and other digital marketing practices, with over 1000 universities, colleges, and training providers teaching to OMCP standards. More than 70,000 candidates have trained to the OMCP standard to date.

“Adding OMCP under our umbrella increases our reach in helping professionals and recent grads to build a lucrative career in digital marketing,” NISM CEO Jennifer Radke said. “I’m also excited to work with OMCP’s 1000 universities, colleges, and training institutes to teach programs to the combined NISM and OMCP global standards.”

Starting the standard in 2012, OMCP co-founder Michael Stebbins separated the standards from platforms such as Google or Bing and chose to accredit leading training providers such as Market Motive and Simplilearn instead of competing with them.

As a part of NISM, OMCP will expand its certification exams, training services, and member benefits using practices already established by NISM.

“NISM has already established its reputation and community in a very effective way,” said Michael Stebbins, co-founder of OMCP. “Now, NISM and OMCP are the only organizations that offer platform-agnostic, reputable certifications. This will continue to be the gold standard for marketing professionals to grow and develop their careers.”

“The industry has long needed a complete standard and community of practice,” Jennifer Radke added. “At NISM, we now have the complete coverage of the digital marketing practice and standard and are already seeing an increase in participation.”
