Syllabus
Throughout your Master's Program, we will analyse economic and cultural scenarios of contemporary life, focusing on key strategic aspects of branding, marketing and communication tools, as well as brand management.
With the skills acquired along the way, you will learn how to properly identify your target market and its patterns of behaviour. This is a crucial step when it comes to defining your product or service in terms of distribution strategy, target markets, marketing and communication strategies and activities.
We will study branding throughout the whole process: from building brand equity -i.e. setting brand values, brand positioning, and planning marketing activities accordingly- to taking specific actions for brand growth and development.
Finally, as the course ends we will approach the topic of self in a specific module marketing: this will provide an overview of the best tools for making a powerful self-presentation - video, paper or web - along with an introduction to public speaking techniques.
