The module is divided into three parts with the following weight and content:

Marketing theory and digital transformation

● Achieving the theory of emerging digital marketing taught in the classes, through master classes that will be encouraged in the debate.
● Case studies of real clients, for the complete achievement of the theory imparted.

Emerging marketing project

● Market and consumer research to spot an opportunity, without having to create something that is not invented, perhaps simply improve what already exists.
● Create a small business that vibrates social awareness into your DNA, more beyond seeking economic profitability. This company must be able to be extrapolable to the online environment and more specifically ecommerce.

Sensory marketing

● Sensory marketing: audio branding.
● Sensory marketing: smell.

Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The assessment of each part will have the following tests:

1) Digital Marketing (30%)

Individual test of the main concepts.

Realization of real case practices in group.

2) Comprehensive emerging marketing project (70%): Approach and basic tools (35%) and sensory marketing (35%)

As a group, students will develop a comprehensive emerging marketing project in relation to a real organization (company or institution), applying the content developed throughout the module. It must be taken into account that, regardless of incorporating the basic tools for its development, the marketing plan must incorporate an audio branding strategy that includes different sound tools applied to communicative actions that the selected organization can undertake (or a its product/service). This strategy should include a sono-type. Although it will not be mandatory to soundly materialize the audio branding elements that are chosen, a description, as detailed as possible, of the main characteristics and acoustic profiles, as well as the sensory experiences that are pursued with the communicative actions, will have to be elaborated. that are proposed.

On the other hand, within the framework of this project, the students will have to develop a briefing with objectives, definition of strategy, public, spaces and contact elements, etc. and subsequently make a proposal for an aroma to be used in a commercial brand already known by all, to see if it fits well in your brand positioning.

A student is considered to be "Not evaluable" in the subject as long as he has not participated in any of the evaluation activities described.

Second enrolment:

In the case of a second registration, students will be able to carry out a single synthesis test that will consist of a theoretical-practical work on the module as a whole.
