360 Marketer tracks

The 360 Marketer takes a holistic approach to marketing by considering all aspects of the customer’s experience with a brand. A versatile and adaptive marketer, the 360 marketer navigates the complex and ever-changing marketing landscape, prioritizes customer needs and preferences, and creates personalized and targeted campaigns to engage and retain customers, build brand loyalty, and deliver measurable results.

TRACK ONE

THE EXPERIENTIAL
MARKETER

It will demonstrate that by encouraging consumers to share their experiences, the Experiential Marketer facilitates the added exposure and reach associated with user-generated content.

TRACK TWO

THE TECH MARKETER

The Tech Marketer uses marketing technology to enhance marketing efforts by reaching target audiences more effectively, personalizing messaging, and tracking and analyzing marketing efforts. This track will address topics such as: AI, VR and AR, and ChatGPT.
