Course Content

Aim of the course
The course aims to train the application of the students’ knowledge of marketing communication and brand building theory to the real world of marketing communication strategies and execution. This is done by applying the adopted frames of reference to real life cases.

Contents
The students are taught “how to write a case-story” based on the Advertising Effectiveness Award format: (a) business background (b) marketing and advertising objectives (c) description of the campaign, including creative and media strategies (d) documentation of effects on mental-, behavioural- and market based brand equity and return on marketing investments (e) campaign evaluation.

The students are formed into teams that each are assigned an authentic case to be described, analyzed and documented in cooperation with the advertising agency and brand owning company in question (week 18 – 24).

Each team is allowed a one-hour coaching session with faculty midway through the assignment.

The written case-stories (20-25 pages) are handed in (week 24) and form the basis for the individual oral examination (week 25).
