Effective marketing communications are essential to achieving key business and societal outcomes. In the age of ubiquitous digital communications, an integrated approach that uses the entire suite of marketing communications tools is essential.

Evidently, this subject places a strong focus on evaluating marketing communications with respect to initiatives that contribute to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME). Through their assessments, students will analyse ‘real-world’ data sources and address ‘real-world’ cause-related movements, developing an integrated marketing communication campaign to achieve positive change. Learning is deepened through Authentic Assessments and reflecting upon the responsible and ethical usage of media both personally and professionally.
