Description
Who are digital consumers? How can they be measured? And how can data-driven strategy better engage and grow audiences?
By exploring the users of websites, social networks and apps and by applying techniques across digital analytics, social media campaigns, network analysis, search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing, students who pursue the digital audiences concentration gain a rich understanding of how to acquire and engage audiences.
The program uses real cases from real brands and organizations to explore tools like Google Analytics and Facebook Ads and tactics like hashtag analysis, competitive keyword research and digital advertising. Upon completion, students have a portfolio of real client work and the skills to strategically grow digital audiences and harness analytics to drive organizational change.
