Unit information
Digital Marketing Communications will introduce you to the power of digital marketing in the context of advertising, and promotion more broadly.
Starting with the premise that everything is digital, you will learn how to integrate and analyse the five elements of the marketing communications mix: direct marketing, personal selling, public relations, sales promotion, and advertising. Successfully blending these components will empower you to develop marketing communication messages that mean something and that impact consumers in today's digital age.
With additional focus on search, analytics and media planning, you will learn to apply tools and skills to build strong customer relationships and attain superior marketing outcomes.
