Principles of Mobile Marketing

Completing the module alone gives students the CAM Award for Principles of Mobile Marketing.

Mobile is the most widely used media channel globally, with over one billion mobile devices sold each year. The medium is referred to as ‘always on and always connected’ and provides new ways for organisations and brands to connect with customers across all sectors. This unit will provide an introduction to good practice in mobile marketing and explore how it fits within the communications mix. It will also look at ways in which the channel can be maximised and how success in mobile marketing can be measured.
