Digital marketing allows brands to reach customers in ways traditional marketing never could.

In addition to landing on the right message for their product or service, brands also have the challenge of reading the right audience, at the right time, in the right place. For this, digital marketers must be well versed in search engine optimization, social media marketing, email campaigns, websites, and other forms of digital advertising—all of which continue to reinvent themselves. Emmanuel’s minor in digital marketing offers a solid foundation in marketing, with electives in content marketing and marketing analytics, equipping you to create compelling campaigns for targeted audiences and track their effectiveness.
