Content

In today’s complex information age, forward thinking communication professionals are continuously challenged to master the most demanding communication frontiers in creating engaging, strategic, and relevant content and information valued by their most important target groups, as well as making their client company stand out from the crowd. To this end, online marketing mix tools have an overwhelming impact on today’s society and businesses.
 
The student finds out how online marketing can be instrumental in achieving organisational objectives in a relatively complex business context from a client’s perspective. Therefore, the focus of the project is on equipping students with the basic tools needed to analyse marketing problems and to develop relevant online content.
 
Students work in project groups and assume the role of a marketing communication advisor for a real (inter)national client company. Their task is to scan and monitor existing online content related to one of the client’s brands. Students carry out research to identify the most important market segments and the competitors. Subsequently, students develop target group profiles and brand positioning that is consistent with the core values of the client. In the final stage, students create content, making use of creative texts and visuals, and present their advice and content to the client.
 
Student reflects on their own learning process. By creating a development portfolio, the student develops his/her ambitions as junior communication professional, and discover what he/she wants to learn and should learn to successfully perform their (future) job as a communication professional.
