20 credits
Description of Content
Digital marketing managers are in demand but few understand the tools and
techniques needed for success. This module will be valuable for your future
business career as you will develop skills in this fast moving area.
Digital and social media marketing started with Facebook and LinkedIn, just
over ten years’ ago. These social media networks changed the dynamics of
marketing from being controlled by the company to being controlled by the
customers.
The launch of the iPhone in 2007 enabled the social media networks to grow
dramatically as for the first time you did not need a desktop computer to stay
in touch. Since this time over 1 billion smartphones have been sold. We are
approaching a time where everyone will be ‘always connected’ via a social
network.
This module examines how organisations use digital and social media, its
impact on the marketing mix and reviews integrated digital marketing,
connecting the offline (traditional) and online elements. You will explore
principles, practices and techniques which are vital to the successful
execution of a digital marketing plan.
The aim of ‘Digital and Social Media’ is to provide students with knowledge of
practical frameworks, academic models and tools which can be applied to
understand how different types of organisations can use digital and social
media effectively. Students will undertake a digital marketing audit and
subsequently develop a digital marketing plan, both valuable assets to
organisations today. These skills mean you can become really valuable to an
employer because of the techniques and methods you learn on this module.
