Digital MarketingThrough the use of digital marketing tools and strategies, organizations can assess how digital campaigns are performing and can respond in real time. The response may be content change, keyword search modifications, or even budget allocations across channels. Digital marketing, however, relies on the marketer knowing advanced concepts and best practices for emerging media platforms to reach and influence consumers. Students can learn to assess online analytics and interpret performance results to determine campaign return on investment (ROI). Insights are provided about the best website design practices, as well as about the ways in which web-based tools support digital marketing, search engine optimization (SEO), online advertising, and the integrations of channels such as mobile, display, video, and social media. |

Communicating Using Social and Digital MediaWhile some companies may still be asking, "Why should we care about social media?" most are now asking, "How can we leverage the power of social media?"

In addition, students explore issues of ethics, privacy, and media law that are heightened by social media and digital communication distribution.
