By the end of your degree, you’ll become an expert marketeer and a highly effective social media manager, able to know how to use paid, owned and earned media to meet business goals, to understand the role of the influencer and how to target your core audiences. You’ll be adaptable, quick-thinking, and able to recognise the role digital marketing and social media plays in differing global markets.
