The Digital Marketing module
The fundamental aim of marketing is to create value to the consumer, thereby creating satisfaction and loyalty. Organisations need marketers who truly understand marketing and the tools and techniques needed to deliver extended capabilities, greater business opportunities and who bring new ways to connect and interact with the consumer.
Digital marketing is a highly specialised and developing discipline. During this module you'll examine potential marketing applications, related digital technologies and the implications of digital marketing on marketing strategy, research and tactics.
Digital Marketing is taught in the second stage of the BA (Hons) Marketing and Brand Management , BA (Hons) Marketing and Advertising Management, Marketing (Joint Honours) and BA (Hons) Business Studies degrees.

What our students say
"I found the lectures highly useful and informative. The use of industry techniques and examples strengthened our understanding, which painted a clear picture of digital marketing."

"The module has been really useful for me coming from a non-marketing background. Even when we've covered areas, like Google Analytics, that I'm familiar with I've discovered something new and started using it in my work."
