DESCRIPTION

This course will provide students with a broad understanding of the business economics underlying the rapidly changing media business and also a more focused understanding of how to apply marketing principles and concepts to media as a product to be sold and marketed to consumers and to other businesses. Students will learn how media is measured and how to use media and market research as a marketing tool for advertising sales and audience development. They will be able to develop an integrated marketing plan using a wide variety of media that will take a comprehensive approach to a marketing challenge.

Developing plans and strategies for marketing today is the most challenging it has ever been. There is an incredible and increasing choice of interactive devices, platforms and channels that potential customers use from smartphones and tablets to social networks and search engines. Investment in traditional channels such as TV, Print and Radio is declining, but they remain an essential part of integrated campaigns for many businesses.

You can look forward to meeting and discuss the course topics with several guest speakers such as a CEO of Mediatel, Head of Marketing for Havas and social media manager.
