Course objectives

The course is focused on deepening students’ knowledge and skills in the field of integrated marketing communications, using both traditional (inbound) and new (outbound) marketing approaches. A comprehensive set of expert lectures and seminars examines in detail the individual communication approaches of various brands, including communication through logos and colors, also within an international context, where students are introduced to different cultural aspects of marketing communication with customers.

Another key part of the course covers the individual components of marketing communication, such as direct marketing, sales promotion, personal selling, public relations, event marketing, and sponsorship, also within the online marketing environment, including a current focus on social media and guerrilla marketing. By the end of the semester, students should be able to evaluate and propose partial marketing communication approaches for selected companies.
