Business

Advertising Strategies II

Course Description:
Advertising Strategies II is a program-specific course, of a theoretical-practical nature, which proposes a sharp reflection on the role of the Strategy in an environment as challenging as the current one. The brands are going through a turbulent time: The hypercompetence, the fragmentation of the media, the short life of differential advantages, the increasing indifference from the public, among other great challenges, make the vision of the planner uniquely important to help brands achieve sustained success over time. Therefore, the course builds on Strategies I, providing new tools and challenging students to solve many practical cases that will refine their abilities to create powerful brands that connect with people and bring disruption to the market.
