Introduction:

Course dates:

21 July - 1 August 2025, Monday to Friday 10 am - 4 pm


Explore the fast paced and disruptive digital marketing and communications environment!

In this course you will be encouraged to examine a variety of new digital methods of communication and how these are used to engage consumers and tell stories within the fashion and lifestyle industries. You will investigate how data and analytics are used to
measure success and improve brand performance whether it be large multinational or personal brands.

You will be inspired to take risks and experiment with new mediums and concepts while developing a proposal that enriches and enhances user experience across a variety of digital platforms. You will design and develop a range of prototype digital communication solutions, integrating them with the aim of simulating a new user experience.

What you’ll study

The course will begin with an individual research task in which you will select a brand (from our brief) and investigate their current multiplatform digital offering, analysing the content and usage data.

You will then undertake a group project, delivering a presentation outlining a digital marketing and communication strategy for a given brand, including developing and showcasing new prototype designs.

This course is also part of the NTU Global Summer School which attracts undergraduate students from colleges around the world.
