What others are saying about this course:
"Bringing digital content and skills into the core PR MA is greatly needed - so much of our work [in PR and marketing] is either with influencers or digital publications and understanding how they are similar and different to traditional media is essential. The focus on pitching in essential skills is important too - learning how to sell a story is one of the most important skills the next gen can offer."(Tom Rouse, Creative Director, Pitch Marketing).
