| Summary of Module |

This module is practical in focus and will allow for the opportunity to apply learnings from the previous digital marketing module, ‘ Theoretical Perspectives in Digital Marketing.’ This knowledge will underpin strategic decision making in the development of digital marketing strategy and ultimately encourage students to research, question, debate, plan and evaluate effective digital marketing strategy.
Throughout the module students will critically compare the tactical use of digital marketing channels in achieving strategic digital marketing communication objectives. As a result, they will be able to recommend optimal digital strategy and effective means to evaluate campaign success.
The module will be delivered in workshop format whereby students will engage in workshops designed to enhance their understanding of online market-place analysis, objective setting, integrated digital marketing strategy development, budgeting and selecting the digital media mix, implementation of digital marketing tactics, and evaluation and improvement of digital channel performance. Students will also develop a critical awareness of content marketing including message development and creative.
