Digital Marketing Project 1
Overview
This unit enables students to acquire practical experience in the development and production of a significant digital advertising or marketing project, operating in a team environment. The project subjects replicate, as closely as possible, the "commercial-world" environment into which students will move after graduating. This exposes students to essential working-life concepts such as: client focus; business etiquette and ethics; time-management and self-management; teamwork; and most importantly, accountability to their client or employer.
