Description

Social and Event Marketing is becoming more and more important in every marketing strategy. Brands strive, on the one hand, to transmit more socially responsible marketing messages, in line with market trends in defense of sustainability and healthy consumption habits. On the other hand, events are increasingly being used as a means of interacting directly with their customers, generating greater engagement and loyalty.


A practical methodology is deployed on how to organize an event, its phases, strategic and operational objectives, expected results and its forms of measurement.
The subject will also seek to update the participants in the main Apps that allow the dissemination and interaction with the participants in an event.
