MKT-H444 Honors Social Media Marketing

Social media is transforming the way consumers work, play, and live and no one knows this better than you- the Millennial generation. But, what does this mean for business? The focus of this course is to understand the transformation of marketing practices as new social media challenge traditional media. How do businesses use the new media to create deeper and more profitable relationships with consumers? What are the new measures and metrics for assessing marketing programs in this new environment? From this course students will take away a social media vocabulary, a set of social media skills and tools, and analytical frameworks for analyzing effective social media business practices. The course is constructed on the principle of the student as an active learner where the student takes the responsibility for their own learning and works collaboratively with peers assisting in their learning. Naturally, student projects, assignments, and other activities will use social media tools including wikis and blogs.
