Module: Understanding the Digital Customer

In this module, you will learn what is meant by a customer journey in digital marketing and how this is connected with so-called personas, among other things. You will also learn more about the customer touchpoints with which the digital customer comes into contact and why this information is so crucial for inbound marketing, branding and, of course, for ensuring customer satisfaction and loyalty. After all, even in the digital age, it’s vitally important to better understand the customers and to optimize their benefits.

Module: Designing the User Experience

This module focuses on the possibilities offered by and limitations of different digital channels (e.g. social platforms) and how these can be optimized to fit the needs of different uses. In order to improve the so-called user experience, on the one hand, you need to understand basic psychological principles to really understand the modern customer. On the other hand, you will also learn about different content applications and the basic functionalities of selected web tools. However, in this module, we also teach you the relevant basic legal information that enables you to protect your creative work (e.g. copyright and patent law).

Module: Marketing Technologies

In this module, new technological approaches are primarily presented that help you to customize digital channels more effectively for specific groups of customers or to create real added value for them. For this purpose, a comprehensive overview of current technologies in marketing is first given, and we demonstrate how specific technological needs can be precisely communicated to IT specialists. We then discuss the benefits that state-of-the-art technologies offer customers and how tasks from operational practice can be conceptually designed and carried out.
