Course Overview

Il Marketing e la comunicazione sono discipline ormai diventate parte integrante della nostra cultura e del nostro vivere quotidiano.

In un rapporto sinergico nel quale si accompagnano e supportano reciprocamente, le due discipline rappresentano un ambito professionale di grande importanza e di altissimo valore nel mercato del lavoro il quale richiede oggi figure professionali sempre più competenti e qualificate, capaci di coniugare capacità strategiche e di pianificazione con approcci creativi e disruptive, volti all’individuazione di soluzioni innovative e competitive.

Marketing and communication are more than just business functions—they are the driving forces behind how brands connect with people and shape cultural trends. In today’s fast-paced and competitive world, these two disciplines are deeply interconnected, working together to influence consumer behavior, build brand loyalty, and drive business success. 
With the growing demand for skilled professionals in this field, businesses seek individuals who not only understand strategic planning but can also bring innovative and disruptive creative solutions to the table. This program is designed to equip you with precisely these skills, blending analytical thinking with creative execution to develop compelling marketing strategies and impactful communication campaigns. 
At the core of marketing lies data—market research, consumer insights, statistical analysis, and competitive evaluations—all of which inform strategic decision-making. However, data alone is not enough. Creativity transforms these insights into engaging campaigns that capture attention across multiple platforms, from traditional media to digital and social channels. Ultimately, the consumer remains at the center of it all, with businesses constantly seeking to anticipate and fulfill both expressed and latent needs. 
This program will guide you through the key methodologies and techniques that define modern marketing and communication. You will learn how to craft persuasive messaging, develop comprehensive marketing plans, and execute strategies that resonate with audiences. Whether working in digital marketing, brand management, corporate communication, or public relations, you will be prepared to bridge the gap between businesses and consumers, fostering meaningful engagement and long-term success.   If you are ready to be at the forefront of an industry that blends strategy, creativity, and innovation, this program will provide the expertise and experience to help you thrive in the ever-evolving world of marketing and communication.

Your second foreign language can be chosen from either European or Asian languages:

 

– If you choose a European language (English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish), you must have prior knowledge of the language.

– If you choose an Asian language (Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian), you may start as a complete beginner (A0) or with prior knowledge.
