This means that the success of every international brand is a product of large, diverse teams of professionals, from marketing firms to design firms to customer research and everything in between. In addition, the digital overhaul has created jobs that didn’t exist a few years ago—jobs in VR development, social media strategy and customer insights using neuromarketing. As a result, recruiters are looking for a rare breed of professionals who have mastered modern forms of communication, and are prepared to efficiently connect consumers with the products and services they really want.
The Marketing, Communication & Media programs are focused on strengthening the relationship between individuals and organizations. By using a mix of both digital and traditional channels, we train students to drive global connection by better understanding our audiences and resonating with who they are.

Not only will this prepare you for the reality of sector challenges, but the transversal skill set you develop can be applied to everything from innovation and strategy design to product development and more.
