Program Curriculum

Account Planning

Planning is about enshrining the consumer and is at the heart of the creative and strategic process.

Creative

Creative is the vehicle to deliver a product's message. It's even more important to create breakthrough work in an increasingly cluttered environment.

Media

Media is no longer just numbers and profiles, but a creative discipline in itself. Every place and every thing is a potential media opportunity.

Multi-Cultural Marketing

Multi-cultural marketing helps a brand identify with specific consumer groups. Communications may be translated to foregin languages or modified to appeal to local cultures and customs.

Account Management

Account management is the liason between the agency and the client. It takes strong business acumen and strategic focus to be done well.

Integrated Marketing

Integrated marketing communications is no longer optional in today's busy, cluttered world. The key to getting through is a unified message across multiple, variable channels.

Direct Marketing

Direct marketing builds personal brand relationships. After waning in the 90's, it is making a comeback in brand communications strategy.

Interactive

Interactive is no longer the "hot" new medium. It is part of your everyday life experience and absolutely mandatory for long-term brand survival.
