Course description

The field of communications is undergoing a rapid transformation under the impact of the recent trends in digital revolution. While new communication channels are emerging, the way traditional media channels were previously used is also changing.

You will apply the relationship building aspect of social media and learn how to integrate these new practices into an overall social media strategy.
