The Building Blocks of Marketing Communications

Marketing communications is an essential component of your company’s strategy, branding and messaging. These communications are complex two-way streets that, done well, can increase your customer base and increase profits. This course presents strategies for managers and entrepreneurs who are responsible for the marketing function at their companies – or considering starting a new business and looking for guidance on creating powerful marketing communications materials and a plan to deliver that content.

The course begins with a strategic discussion, developing a marketing plan, and outlining the range of communications media you will incorporate into your plan. We’ll cover each media component, from traditional print communications through digital communications and social media marketing. You’ll learn strategies and tactics for conducting effective email marketing campaigns and learn how to leverage social media to support those campaigns. In addition, we’ll examine how to develop a social media marketing plan, establish a social media marketing team, and develop success metrics across all digital communication channels.
