Digital marketing is the component of marketing that utilizes the internet and online-based digital technologies to promote products and services. It involves various digital channels such as social media, search engines, email, and mobile apps to connect with potential customers and individuals interested in products or services.

Brand management is about meaning. A brand is more than just a name and a logo: brands must be carefully created, astutely managed, and judiciously leveraged if they are to thrive. A brand is something that is important to people and provides value to them. Religion is a brand, athletes are a brand, and you are a brand. By taking MKTG 475 - Brand Management, students will practice building a personal brand as well as learn how to establish brand identity and equity to attract and maintain customers, which will increase their customer lifetime value. This course will help individuals connect their brand with their customer base!
