Brand Management in the Digital Age

This course introduces the principles of brand management as practiced by industry leaders today. Although the implementation of marketing programs is undergoing a massive transformation from conventional to digital media, the underlying principles of consumer driven marketing remain essentially the same; we will discuss how great marketing, including digital programming, is driven by a sound understanding of consumer segmentation, brand positioning, distinct product benefits, and relevant in-market executions.

You will develop this understanding through core readings, basic frameworks, and case studies involving firms such as Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, Unilever, Porsche, Nestle, Sephora, and Glossier.
