Every effective advertising campaign begins with understanding the objectives and developing a strategy for the campaign.  This course will prepare students to build an integrated campaign plan, which includes identifying the objectives that a particular marketing campaign is meant to achieve, understanding the audience for the campaign and their specific needs and wants, and developing the right messages that speak to the target audience’s needs.  Students will assess the competitive landscape and develop a campaign which addresses the gaps in the market that have been identified.  This course also examines the success metrics that will be used to evaluate the campaign’s effectiveness and the associated measurement tools that will be needed.
There are 7 live remote 60-minute sessions.  Students must attend 4 of the 7 sessions. In the Spring 2025 academic semester, this course's live sessions will be held on Wednesdays from 7PM-8PM.
