Digital Marketing

  • Digital Marketing I in winter semester 2023/24

Content:

Digitalization is rapidly changing our lives, including all types of business relationships. Therefore, new opportunities and approaches have emerged in all areas of the marketing mix: Managers can choose from a wide variety of new communication channels, such as social media networks, blogs, or messengers, and can engage in influencer marketing and search engine optimization. They increasingly rely on online customer co-creation or crowdsourcing and create a wide variety of new digital products and services, often related to completely new business models. Through price crawlers and price setting tools customers‘ price search behaviors have significantly changed, requiring new price setting techniques. Artificial intelligence enables managers to automize and optimize many of these marketing processes, thus offering new opportunities and challenges for companies.  Overall, digital marketing offers a tremendous variety of concepts and approaches to seize respective opportunities and deal with related challenges, which will be largely highlighted and discussed in this course.
