BA Digital Marketing and Strategy
About this course
Digital marketing and strategy addresses the principles and practices that organisations use to reach, engage and retain customers through digital channels. It is a discipline that combines the analytical, creative and strategic dimensions of marketing, applied to the rapidly evolving landscape of search, social media, content, email, e-commerce and data-driven advertising. Understanding how digital platforms work technically, how consumer behaviour plays out online, and how to allocate budgets and measure outcomes across multiple channels are all central to what the discipline covers. Strategy, the capacity to make and evaluate high-level commercial decisions about positioning, audiences and channels, provides the framework within which the practical digital skills operate. At the University of East Anglia, you will study this three-year full-time programme in a business and management school with a strong research culture.
