This module deals with the practical implication of digital marketing. This is carried out through incorporating a range of case study examples from industry in order to offer a perspective of how marketing theory is applied in business contexts. Within this module you will critique contemporary case studies in digital and direct marketing, be involved in online interactive learning methods and actively involved with social media. The course material lays the foundations for students to take further independent learning to earn an additional certificate in Digital Marketing from the Institute of Direct Marketing.
