Objectives
The digital revolution has resulted in a widening of the number and types of organisations involved in communications. Whereas previously advertising was often confined to larger organisations in the commercial sector, the simultaneous presence of websites in particular has meant that most organisations, including those in the public sector, have to become far more professional in how they communicate with customers, the public and other stakeholders. Getting the right message across to the right people is fundamental to business success and those with expertise in marketing communications are always going to be in demand in areas such as advertising, PR, direct marketing, brand management, account management and marketing communications consultancy. This course will give you a core grounding in marketing whilst developing a marketing communications specialism and is of particular interest to professionals in the creative sector.
