Marketing and Public Relations (PR) are closely aligned subjects. The main difference is that marketing focuses on selling or promoting a product or service, whereas PR is concerned with maintaining a positive reputation for a company, organisation or person as a whole. On this course you will study a full range of marketing practices combined with broader aspects of strategic marketing such as buyer behaviour, marketing international business, marketing and service management, and social media marketing. The course combines a thorough understanding of theories and practices in the area of mass media, marketing and public relations, with an insight into the workings of the diverse industries. Designed to help you become a highly effective manager and creative thinker, you will gain the conceptual, framework-focused, analytical, problem solving and research skills required to operate confidently in a dynamic environment. You will also learn to write effective press releases and distribute them to the right outlets and develop lasting and productive working relationships with journalists and editors. The last part of the course provides the opportunity to understand the fundamentals of lobbying while learning firsthand about the lobbying efforts of energy and environmental advocacy groups representing a variety of perspectives. The course in the suite is design to: - equip students with the ability to apply marketing theory and practice in a variety of business situations; - develop key transferable skills that are essential to a career in marketing; - meet the accreditation requirements of Chartered Institute of Marketing; - provide students with the opportunity to develop specialist marketing and PR skills of their choice.
