This module aims to equip students with a greater understanding of the changing digital landscape and the impact that has on digital and traditional marketing communications. This includes changes in communications channels, platforms, consumer behaviour, as well as an understanding of planning and integration between more traditional marketing (such as print) and digital marketing (such as social media).

The module will provide opportunities for students to apply learning to real world contexts and enable them to produce a digital marketing communications plan in contexts determined by the external environment.
