MSc Strategic Marketing (online, part-time) launch event

Future-proof your marketing career: the digital toolkit you need as an industry leader

An MSc Strategic Marketing (online, part-time) launch event

It’s predicted that by 2021, 75% of total marketing budget will go to digital marketing. This is a 21% growth from 10 years ago when marketers spent around 62% of their total marketing budget on digital channels.

It’s clear that the marketing landscape has shifted and evolved – but have you as a marketing professional and leader?

You’re invited to the exclusive launch event for the MSc Strategic Marketing (online, part-time), our new programme commencing in 2020. At this event we will de-bunk digital marketing trends and help you understand the skillset you need to be a marketing industry leader in the 21st century.

Marketing leaders of the future will have a toolkit that extends past traditional marketing theories. You need advanced skills in data analytics, a deep understanding of digital platforms and advertising, as well as an understanding of international business and communications challenges of our globalised society. The MSc Strategic Marketing (online, part-time) will prepare you to lead in uncertain times.

You will hear from our keynote speaker, Andrew Giordano, Vice President of Revenue Operations at DoubleVerify. Andrew will unpack the current digital advertising climate for brands, explaining why there is a demand for transparency in digital media and the tools marketers can use to achieve this. He will also give an insight into in-demand skills and knowledge of marketing professions by large brands and organisations.

Following this is an industry insight panel with digital marketing professionals. They will discuss their career journey to-date and share wisdom they have gained along the way, as well as mistakes, learnings and triumphs. As alumni of the MSc Strategic Marketing campus programme, they will share an insight into the skills that have been vital in their development, and the advantages studying at Imperial has afforded them.

We encourage you to stay for the networking drinks so you can meet our speakers, discuss the programme with our Recruitment and Admissions teams, as well as meet other ambitious future marketing leaders.
