To successfully launch a new brand or collection, fashion marketers must keep track of the latest trends and continually seek creative ways to tell stories, build brand reputations, influence customers and generate sales.<br/><br/>You’ll be introduced to the structure of the fashion industry and learn how teams build strategies to ensure a seamless transition from concept to customer. Using market research, you’ll also learn how to analyse and evaluate consumer behaviour (including why and how they purchase products), forecast new trends and develop innovative strategies to entice new customers.<br/><br/>Focusing on creative storytelling, you’ll learn how to communicate the message behind or collection, and effectively promote brands’ personalities and values – exploring a range of innovative techniques including the use of influencers, collaborations, pop-ups and social media.<br/><br/>In your first year, you’ll analyse and evaluate stories used in current campaigns.
