Course Description

In this course you will develop an understanding of data analytics as it applies to data-driven marketing applications. You will develop an understanding of how data analytics allows businesses to interpret industry trends, build marketing strategies and personalise marketing messages.

Using analytics platform tools, you will complete an industry-based project that takes a data-driven approach to developing a digital marketing campaign. This may include elements such as: gaining digital marketing insights for the target business or product; designing and developing digital marketing strategies using key digital tactics and techniques; identifying campaign goals, audiences, and key channels for success; setting up tracking and campaigns; evaluating a campaign and optimising performance; and finding efficiencies with automation and integration.  

This course is a WIL project, incorporating the investigation of real problems that address the needs of industry or community. Industry partners are engaged in the project and provide feedback to students.
