COURSE DESCRIPTION: LEARNING OBJECTIVES AND MAIN TOPICS
The Course will be based on the new potentialities that the marketing system is showing towards companies, products, services, people and processes reflecting the enormous changes occurring in theory and practice.
The content and organization respond to the new analytical, strategic and operational trends: from the traditional customer relationship management to the need of new research and segmentation; from brand management to new event management and experiential marketing; from targeting to “fragmenting” and online marketing; from traditional instruments and media to new forms of corporate and marketing integrated communications; from transactional marketing to the very last influencer marketing.
New paradigms, platforms and instruments such as geomarketing, unconventional marketing, social media marketing, mobile marketing, IoT-Internet of Things and new applications (to products, services, territory, time and entertainment ) will be provided.
New convergence platforms - web, social, and mobile – will be focused and integrated in the marketing processes.
New company communications are heavily involved in this huge analytical and strategic scenario: on and offline processes and integrations are the daily challenge for individuals, small and big peer groups, management of companies, and public sector.
The Course develops a peculiar analysis on the role and the perspectives new technologies and media show in this panorama. The digital platforms and the social technologies are leading the companies to set new strategies and new business models to launch and manage products, services and brands, processes and experiences oriented to a new consumer belonging to different generations: Millennials as Generation X or Baby Boomers.
The Course will focus with a special attention media and entertainment channels as internet, broadcasting and cinema, mobile and social, apps, IoT and virtual reality, considered as instruments not only devoted once to the information or communication or entertainment sectors but as platforms in which analytical skills, strategic activities and operational marketing could convey a new way of realising management innovation.
The Course intends also to evaluate the role of communication in the modern value creation processes and to analyse the most important areas/tools, nowadays available (adv, native adv, programmatic adv; online and offline public relations; promotions and sponsorships) for implementing effective communication initiatives on an economic as well as on a social level.
In our contemporary MarketingCube - digital, emotional, experiential - dimensions only apparently dystonic (electronic/digital vs physical/emotional) converge in a complex management able to lead to meaningful experiences, customer and stakeholder satisfaction and loyalty, company profitability.
The Course will host a Seminar on Digital Marketing held by Prof.Martin Wetsels (see below)

1. IntroductionOver the last decades political, social, and technological developments have changed the strategic business landscape in almost every country around the globe. The advances in business have continuously opened new possibilities to satisfy customer demands, and many of the innovations have been successfully introduced and became widely accepted. Especially, in the area of information and communication technology (ICT) developments have been mind-boggling. In 1995 less than 1% of the world population had an Internet connection, while in 2018 the Internet had more than 4 billion users, surpassing 50% of the world population (https://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm). This was the result of a phenomenal growth rate, as the number of Internet users has increased by a factor 10 from 1999 to 2013 (http://www.internetlivestats.com/internet-users/#trend).
However, not only the number of Internet users has increased, but also online activities have taken off at a tremendous pace. The website www.internetlivestats.com/one-second provides interesting insights in the proliferation of online activities, as it shows that every second (obtained June 3rd, 2018) 57,620 GB of Internet traffic is taking place, 2,697,571 emails are being sent, 67,392 Google searches are being conducted, 74,102 Youtube videos are being viewed, 3,174 Skype calls are being placed, 8,063 tweets are being sent, and 849 Instagram pictures are being uploaded. Moreover, most of this data is generated by the users themselves and is generally referred to as User-Generated Content (UGC).
The current digital disruption is being driven by five forces (Scoble & Israel, 2014): (1) mobile technology, (2) social media, (3) big data, (4) sensors and (5) location-based technology, leading them to label the upcoming age as the “Age of Context.” Combining mobile technology, sensors and location-based technologies connecting devices has led to the emergence of the “Internet of Things” and the related concept of Industry 4.0 (Geissbauer et al., 2016). In order to realize the potential of Industry 4.0 it will be essential to develop new approaches for data analytics given the nature and amount of data being generated in the digital processes encompassing Industry 4.0.
Moreover, the amount of UGC on social media will also produce a vast amount of data, more commonly referred to as BIG data. Big data is generally characterized by four properties: (1) volume, (2) velocity, (3) variety and (4) veracity. In other words, large amounts of data are being generated at a high frequency in both structured and unstructured (text, pictures, audio, video, etc.) formats without being able always to assess the quality of the data. The ever-increasing importance of data analytics in digital business has prompted Davenport and Patil (2012) to exclaim that the data scientist might well evolve into “…the sexiest job of the 21st century.” Finally, the potential impact of data and analytics is strongest for marketing and sales as business function. However, it should be noted that the full potential of digital marketing can only be realized of data silos are broken down and all business function in a firm work toward an integral analytical platform (Wilder-James, 2016).
2. Seminar Objectives
The proliferation of the Internet and related innovative digital technologies, such as mobile, “big” data, sensors, social media and user-generated content (UGC) have a profound effect on marketing theory and practice. The changing strategic context will fundamentally transform marketing as we know it and consequently new paradigms will have to be developed to take account of marketing activities in the upcoming electronic age. This Seminar will focus on providing an in-depth understanding of the development and planning of effective digital marketing strategies, their implementation and evaluation.
3. Seminar Structure
The Seminar uses a mixed format based on three lectures and a tutorial session. The lectures will address the changing environment and its impact on digital marketing. The concepts covered in the lectures will be applied to a case study in the tutorial session. In the tutorial session teams of students will presenting their insights with respect to the case study. The Seminar structure is summarized in Table 1 below.
