Main themes
We live in an information age, characterised by phenomena such as Big Data and the conversational power of the consumer. This course aims to help students understand these issues, analyse the reputational risks and opportunities associated with unstructured conversations on social networks, manage these content flows and influence key performance indicators linked to communication and business by listening and participating. The course develops on both sides of the analysis and the implementation of actions.
Many facets of digital communication will be covered: measuring digital communication, competitive intelligence and reputation monitoring, social CRM, the impact of digital media on corporate communication and traditional media, web ergonomics, natural referencing and sponsored links, e-mailing and newsletters, social media and community management (in coordination with the LCOMU2708Media Relations& Community management course), collaborative intranet & internal social media, content management.
Each year, a subject will be chosen for in-depth study in the course. Given the cross-disciplinary nature of digital communication, the teacher(s) will ensure coordination with the other courses in the programme.
