Programme Overview
In the current era of digitalization, organizations need effective, profitable digital and social marketing strategies to enhance their reach and profitability. Digital and social media marketing have become essential elements of these strategies. From search engines, websites, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube to blogs, forums, Pinterest, and Snapchat, digital platforms have dominated the marketing and advertising landscape. While most major brands have a robust digital and social media presence, start-ups, SMEs, and even individuals are beginning to build their own brand presence online. The importance of digital and social media in modern marketing efforts can no longer be ignored. It’s an integral component of almost all successful marketing strategies.
With this increasing emphasis on integrated digital and social media strategies, there is an irrefutable need for marketing professionals and organizations to have end-to-end expertise in these areas. Through case studies, simulations, interactive sessions, hands-on learning, and class exercises, participants will learn best practices and develop the skills to connect business objectives with digital and social media strategies, platforms, and tactics.
