It will examine the planning, development and implementation of brand strategies and examine the components through the deconstruction of a chosen brand.

Digital Campaign Planning

Marketing using digital media and mobile technologies, alongside traditional communication channels, is now an integral component of organisations’ marketing strategies. The main focus of this module is to provide learners with a critical appreciation of Digital Marketing, through the integration of emergent media and mobile technologies, with offline communications. Students will be introduced to current and relevant examples of marketing initiatives using digital media and they will create their own marketing campaign, using both offline and online media. Students will critically appreciate contemporary issues and developments in the marketing industry in relation to digital tools, models and concepts.

Global Marketing

This module will equip learners with problem solving and decision-making skills to aid understanding of the impact of digital technology on global marketing. It will enable learners to critically evaluate key issues associated with digital global marketing within the context of a dynamic cultural environment. Students will appraise digital aspects of global marketing opportunities and threats in order to make decisions relating to an organisation’s ability to successfully enter and compete in international markets. The module will assume a practical and analytical marketing perspective.

Customer Insight

This module will equip learners with the fundamentals of consumer behaviour and the development of the discipline into customer insight and its use within the contemporary business environment. Students will critically appreciate the importance of psychology in decision-making and the field of marketing. Learners will analyse and evaluate individual aspects of consumer behaviour and social and group aspects of consumer behaviour during their studies.

Research Methods

This module is designed to lead and support students to the submission of a detailed research proposal to their dissertation’s supervisors.  As a result, the taught and workshop-based content is combined with one-to-one (or small group) work between dissertation supervisors and students.
The module will start with a series of taught lectures with the purpose of presenting the business school masters’ dissertation process and to work as a graduate-level refresher of business research methods. After this initial introductory stage, students will be expected to have indicated an interest in one or two specific areas of research.

Dissertation / Consultancy Project

The module has a crucial role within the programme of study in that it provides the opportunity for students to research an area of particular interest within an appropriate business, public sector or third sector context. The module is designed to make a major contribution to the professional and intellectual development of students, through enabling students to demonstrate their capacity for sustained independent thought, learning and critical reflection.
