Media and Marketing

Course Summary

 

Within the modern world, effective marketing through media is essential to ensure an organisation can remain successful. Marketing helps promote and advertise a desired service, product or message that will attract consumers to interact with them. There are a vast variety of ways an organisation can utilise media, and many of them come with their own benefits and challenges.


 

 

To guarantee success, an organisation must understand the platform they intend to use. Each platform has a primary purpose, and often a particular target audience will dominate that platform. They will have to carefully analyse the target audience and assess the ideal platform to use. Once the platform is established, the organisation needs to create detailed plans and strategies to help them connect with their audience.


 

 

When it comes to marketing through media, communication is key. Those involved need to communicate in a clear and concise way, to ensure the target audience can fully engage. Through the use of social media, the organisation can talk directly with their consumers and generate a personal connection. This provides further opportunity to create a demand where they can drive traffic away from the social media platform and onto their personal websites.
