The Media landscape is changing and medias goes digital, why we need to address and take the new media platforms important when we plan our marketing and advertising strategies. With the world rapidly changing in this digital age, both the proliferation of the internet and with computing power that doubles every two years (Moore’s Law), many old rules and techniques in marketing simply do not work anymore, and some are more important than ever before.

Being able to understand consumer behavior and addressing it, is the underlying core theme throughout all aspects of this course, teaching students how to apply storytelling, social media planning and execution of online marketing plans and advertising campaigns.

Approach to teaching

This is a project focused ‘hands on’ course. Successful students interact through the lessons and are well prepared for each lesson. Students will be graded on how they participate in discussions, participate in group work and field studies and present their project conclusions.

The class will have the opportunity to work on business cases providing a ‘real world’ experience in the class room. Moreover, prominent guest lecturers will present interesting ideas related to our course. This course is designed to realign your mind with critical thinking and re-evaluation of the new marketing techniques and the power of the latest digital tools now available.
