Summary of Module

This module focuses on exploring and analysing the marketing of experiences as opposed to products/services.   This will include adopting a critical approach to exploring the definition and operation of experience marketing; investigating the notion of ‘experiences as theatre’ (including emotional and aesthetic labour); considering emotionality in marketing and reflecting, assessing and evaluating the experience of ‘experiences’.

Due to the specific subject-matter and orientation of this module, it is expected that students participating in the module will require prior academic knowledge of marketing in advance of taking the module.
