Unit description
The marketing media landscape has changed drastically over the past decade. The rise of new media such as digital and social media has changed the ways in which companies communicate and interact with consumers. More importantly, it opens new channels that allow companies to gain immediate and strategic insights into consumer trends and their target market. As such, a company’s ability to transform data generated from various traditional and new media sources into business insights creates a competitive advantage to ensure their survival and prosperity.
This unit enables students to develop a knowledge of the trends changing the current marketing media landscape. Students will learn how to use different analytic software packages, such as SAS and Excel, to analyse both structured and unstructured data that are produced by various marketing media sources. Student also will learn how to transform results into actionable insights and will develop an ability to communicate and explain their insights in an engaging and effective way.
