Description: The internet has been a game-changer for marketers. With platforms like Facebook and Twitter, marketers can engage with their most ardent advocates (and critics). Using tools like microsites, they can easily collect and segment data, to help them better target and customize their offerings. Before understanding, you need planning. In this course, students will study how various marketing outlets – websites, search engine optimization, social media, online content mobile marketing and email marketing – fit with (and even amplify) efforts in other marketing channels.  As part of this course, students will also learn how to develop a digital marketing plan and pitch it to internal stakeholders.
