Learning unit contents
Designing compelling and valuable experiences for customers has become a key objective, and challenge, for modern marketers. Companies strive to be relevant to the lives of consumers, and provide them with value at every step of their purchasing journey.
Understanding the experiences of your customers, mapping these experiences to analyse them, and designing meaningful experiences for them are key tasks that all marketers need to understand and be able to apply.
This course provides the foundations to students to understand the role of experiences for consumers and managers, with a specific focus on technology and digital touchpoints. In a world where consumer journeys are more and more omnichannel, the distinction between real life and digital technologies blur. This course takes a comprehensive view to harnessing the power of experiences in a multi-connected context.
