Digital Marketing

Objectives

This course aims to provide students with a broad understanding of digital marketing, more specifically, the process by which companies deploy promotional tactics over the internet (or other digital media) to communicate with customers aiming at influencing their behaviour. It covers both theoretical foundations and practical applications. Its foundation is a purpose-developed digital marketing framework (DSDW), supported by proven marketing models (CDJ, CLV, 6Ms, and STEPPS), that aims to enable a structured and enduring understanding of the topic beyond current techniques and tools. Students, then, deploy these tools to plan, implement, and analyse a real digital marketing campaign, in partnership with Google and Nova SBE Haddad Entrepreneurship Institute.
