Why Digital Media?

Shaun chose the MDM program to enhance his technological knowledge of new technologies and to improve his business acumen. His belief is that a successful project manager should be able to understand and bridge together the creative, business and technological portions of any project. Because when all three of these are understood and their full potential is reached that's when the final product will be its purest and best.
