IT Masters Applied Digital Marketing Strategy

 

Applied Digital Marketing Strategy (ADMS) will help you build a digital marketing plan on a lean marketing canvas that will help you unleash your next entrepreneurial idea or to give you a more strategic approach to what might be largely opportunistic digital tactics today!

We use a series of topics from subjects in the Graduate Certificate in Applied Digital Marketing and Master of Applied Digital Marketing to build your plan weekly on a supplied template.

Across 4 live (and recorded) sessions, Andrew Mashman and special expert guests will decode, demystify, strategise around customers and digital tools in ways you can apply to your start-up vision or business responsibility.

Course Schedule

 

In this module we’ll look at what’s involved in the digital sphere and where that collides with your marketing challenges and introduce the lean marketing canvas as a cool tool to capture your marketing parameters and opportunities. Our digital marketing template will give you a tool to build your own digital integrated marketing communications plan over the duration of this course.

Module 2 will remind you of the suite of digitals tools that are available to you and your business to communicate with customers. In the digital space, it’s easy to take on a lot but you need to be strategic about what communications you need to make and to which customers. Looking at who your customers are or will be and developing a profile that can help you develop the best digital portfolio is critical.

While this course is about digital, it’s likely your customers will have some analogue component of their customer journey so it’s also important to understand implications of this. Finally, we’ll look at the movers and shakers in the digital space and if they should be in your plan.

In Module 3 we introduce the Paid, Earned and Owned Model as a mechanism to strategise your digital communications. We’ll also look at social media, which more than half the world’s population now uses, many times per day and across multiple platforms.

Finally, this module looks at how social listening can help focus our strategy.

Module 4 is about populating your plan, integration of properties across media and timing for maximum impact.

We will also ask you – what action do you want your customers/potential customers to take, so your plan can be very specific.

Finally, the module touches on analytics and tracking as a way to know how effective our work is and if it’s delivering the results we expected, so we can proactively move forward to meet our goals!
