The Digital Marketing Institute is to create 30 new jobs this year, the education company said today.

The company will add 10 new people to its staff with the opening of a new London office, and will hire a further 20 people over the course of the year.

The new positions encompass roles across content management, membership, event management, sales, finance and administration.

The company employs 15 people in its Dublin offices with a total of 39 new roles being created in both Dublin and the new offices in London by mid-2014.

Chief executive Ian Dodson said the company had worked hard over recent years to create "the best digital training programmes".

“The 2013 recruitment drive is a consequence of this success and we are very positive for the future.”

Towards the ends of 2012 the company secured a number of key international partnership deals, worth €8 million, with education providers in India, South Africa and Malaysia.
