Mission & Content Summary

MISSION

Just how familiar are you with an advertising campaign? A business may live or die based on its ability to communicate successfully. Good and true communication is about experiencing the world and taking the time to refuel your cultural curiosity and we’ll also be doing some of that in this course. So plan out to learn and have fun too!

CONTENT SUMMARY

The course introduces to the key managerial topic of Communication with the aim of unveiling the magical alchemy between creativity, idea development and commercial goals that leads to a successful advertising campaign.

 

It will provide students with an understanding of the fundamentals of the Advertising industry and will help them gain acquaintance of the essential ingredients of effectively communicating a brand or service.

 

One key factor in communication is creating a compelling packaging for the product, the so called “silent salesman” on the shelf, thus we will take a specific in depth look at the pack and how different packs communicate different images to each customer.

 

The course will also provide an experiential learning approach through in class exercises and company guest speakers that will provide knowledge on the specificities of Advertising.

 

Finally students will have the chance to express their own creativity by participating in a group field project with an important international brand that will provide us with a real world communication challenge to solve and to present at the end of the course!
