| Summary of Module |
|---|
This module will draw upon modern digital marketing practices and traditional marketing theory with a focus on the digital marketing needs of companies operating in both the B2B and B2C sectors. It builds on the knowledge developed during Digital Marketing Practice (1) and builds upon practical digtal foundations by focusing on current digital marketing strategies, theories and models drawn from both academia and industry. The nature of Digital Marketing necessitates a need to be up-to-date with current practices and developments within the industry and for graduates to be able to make an immediate and effective contribution to an organisation's digital presence.
Students completing this module will be expected to master essential digital marketing theories and management practices such as Social media management, Online new product/service development and digital innovation approaches, digital account management, inbound marketing management and online customer insights and work productively with Big Data analysis, and current online marketing research methods. Students will also have the opportunity to interact with online data collection methodologies, a useful addition to their current academic research toolbox. This module will provide the theoretical frameworks and contemporary digital strategy skills, enabling students to be competitive Global Digital Marketing citizens.
Teaching methods will incorporate many aspects of the digital frameworks and processes in the teaching practice; website development, social media, analytical tools, data mining, social customer relationship management and will utilise both online and offline marketing tools to deliver module material.
