What Digital-Coach.it does

Digital-Coach.it operates as Italy's first dedicated digital marketing school, legally registered as HR SOLUTIONS SRL a socio unico (Milan, Italy) and trading under the registered Digital Coach® trademark. The company delivers structured career-transformation programs across five Master AI tracks (Digital Marketing & AI, Web Marketing & AI, Social Media Marketing & AI, E-Commerce & AI, and Intelligenza Artificiale), an AI Marketing Manager Certification line spanning six specializations (AI Social Media Specialist, AI SEO Specialist, AI Visual & Video Specialist, AI Data Analyst, AI Copywriter, AI Digital Marketing Manager), and approximately 35 on-demand video course disciplines covering web marketing, e-commerce, social media, AI fundamentals, prompt engineering, and marketing automation.

The platform layers on-demand video content with live AI Career Coaching (personalized weekly action plans, study plans, and AI-assisted personality testing) and a "Praticantato Reale" two-month real-work internship component delivered through six specialized AI teams (AI SEO, AI Direct Response Copywriting, AI Video Marketing & SEO YouTube, AI Content Creation & Social Media, AI Design & Visual Content, AI Analytics). Customer engagement is supported by the Jennifer AI chatbot (powered by partner AI Scale Up) integrated with WhatsApp. The company maintains two Milan offices (registered and operating sites), an alumni portal (alumni.digital-coach.com), and an active LinkedIn community of students, alumni, and faculty.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid mix of subscription-recurring certification and on-demand course access, one-time/perpetual-license Master program enrollments described as multi-year contracts, and a professional-services B2B corporate training line (Imprenditore 4.0) serving Italian enterprises. Go-to-market combines self-serve online enrollment, an inside-sales consultation layer, and direct enterprise sales, with an optional franchise distribution channel for domestic Italian expansion. The company is privately held with a stated share capital of €15,400, no disclosed external funding, and a 51–100 employee headcount, serving three primary consumer segments (young professionals under 30, career changers, and existing digital marketing practitioners) plus an enterprise customer segment.
