Organizations are realizing that the digital economy has brought with it cultural and societal shifts that can no longer be ignored. Companies and brands must learn to adapt to the new values-based landscape, or risk becoming irrelevant.
As brands become more intimate with customers, they inevitably invite attention and scrutiny to issues that were easier to avoid in the pre-social era. Today, companies need to not only take a stance on key social issues, but they also need to take tangible action. Present-day consumers are demanding a shift toward inclusive values. This requires a complete restructuring of image-making and storytelling strategies as we know them.
In this 5-day hands-on program, participants will explore new ways to re-think, build, and communicate the full emotional experience of a branding concept through the lens of social media, challenging norms, and testing new ground in customer engagement. Leveraging Parsons’ unique design-led approach, world-renowned faculty, and insights from industry experts who have pioneered massive innovations in social media engagement, you will evaluate your current social media strategies and re-imagine them using innovative new frameworks – pushing the boundaries of storytelling, experience, and communication.
Whether you are a C-level executive, entrepreneur, or MBA student, this program will provide you with the concrete tools and skills to challenge and create authentic brands and innovative social marketing that drives relevance and growth.
Analyzing and effectively deploying the various components of the visual, written, and experiential components of social media.
