DESCRIPTION
In today's digital world, paid advertising is no longer sufficient. Consumers and stakeholders need a cohesive narrative in order to buy into a product, a cause or an organization's mission. This course will introduce a framework for creating an international communication strategy coupled with meaningful storytelling.
