Marketing with Advertising

There's a bright future ahead of you
The course title has been simplified from Marketing with Advertising and Digital Communications to Marketing with Advertising to provide a clearer and more accessible description of the degree. Digital communications remain an integral part of the curriculum; however, they are now embedded throughout the course rather than presented as a separate area of study, reflecting the reality of contemporary marketing and advertising practice.

Past students have worked closely with our connections at Bogner, working to a professional brief, students conducted in-depth digital audits, competitor analyses, and audience research to understand each brand’s market position and customer base. They then built detailed strategies with clearly defined SMART objectives, recommending targeted tactics such as social media campaigns, influencer partnerships, website enhancements, email marketing workflows, and paid media strategies.
