What will my students learn about digital marketing?
Potential customers have instant access to websites, reviews, influencers and comparison websites to help them decide where they will holiday, and how much they will spend. At the same time, we are now (almost) always connected and we expect our favourite brands to be the same. That’s why an understanding of how successful brands use digital technology to promote their products and engage with their customers, is vital for students embarking on any career.
