Course Summary
In the modern world, effective marketing through media is essential to ensuring an organisation's success. Marketing helps promote and advertise a desired service, product, or message that will attract consumers to interact with it. There are a wide 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 it intends to use. Each platform has a primary purpose, and often, a particular target audience will dominate that platform. The organisation 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 it connect with its audience.
When it comes to marketing through media, communication is key. Those involved need to communicate clearly and concisely to ensure the target audience can fully engage. Through the use of social media, the organisation can talk directly with its consumers and generate a personal connection. This provides further opportunity to create demand, driving traffic away from the social media platform and onto its personal websites.
