This module will introduce you to the fundamentals of marketing and core digital marketing principles. You will consider how markets are segmented and targeted and how consumers make decisions. This will lead to a focus on the marketing mix and the digital landscape. You will also consider how marketing concepts are applied in a digital context and will then apply these concepts and techniques to a live project.

This module expands your knowledge from the Practical Marketing Module. You will deepen your understanding of how the marketing mix applies in practical and digital contexts. You will appreciate how current and emerging digital marketing practice influences overall marketing approaches.

This will be delivered through a marketing simulation (i.e. MyMarketingExperience) in order to provide a real-world scenario to apply your knowledge.

In this module, you will gain deeper insight into current marketing issues and practices, as well as exploring key themes that are evolving within the industry.
