A one-week intensive summer programme for students aged 19+, residential in a college of the University of Oxford.
Apply NowMarketers of the future will need a strong grasp of digital marketing techniques to effectively succeed in a highly competitive marketplace.
This course will provide students with the latest thought leadership and equip them with the skills and knowledge to develop digital marketing strategies and campaigns.
The course will begin with an overview of digital marketing research and case studies, and will show students the current landscape of developments in digital marketing in contrast to traditional (non-digital) marketing and will highlight emerging trends in digital marketing.
There will be rigorous analysis and discussion of the challenges involved in moving a business online and students’ attention will be drawn to the central and crucial role that relationship marketing plays in engaging customers and prospects in remote and virtual environments.
The role of ‘influencers’ will be discussed against the question, ‘What makes for a successful digital influencer?’
Additionally, students will consider the challenges and identify actions that can be taken to ensure that companies deliver on their promises to digital customers in order to build customer loyalty across the globe.
Students will work in a collaborative way to determine the value of various digital marketing channels and how the performance of digital marketing campaigns can be analysed and measured using the latest instruments from the field of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data.
