Introduction & Background
Learn how to enhance your communication and engagement across multiple digital platforms such as email, messaging apps, and social networks and be able to target your organization’s messages effectively through paid advertising on search engines and through a variety of social media channels.
The majority of your professional interactions today begin with some form of digital or social media channel. Whether this is through a visit to your website, a social media channel, a response to an email, or a search engine inquiry, you need to ensure that you are communicating your message effectively.
The Digital Communication, Engagement and Advertising Program focuses on ensuring that participants are able to engage their audience. Participants will learn how to improve the perception of digital deployments, and how to use both free and paid digital advertising opportunities to communicate messages effectively to a selected target audience. A number of channels are explored in conjunction with the individual organization's strategy and target audience, to determine which channels and techniques should be used to optimize communication and provide the highest return-on-investment.
