    MODULO TEORICO (Second Term)

    PERSUASIVE YET NOT UNETHICAL – An introduction to sales-oriented content creation
    CONTENT AND GOALS
    This interactive course will introduce the art of using language and communication to promote a brand. First, we will deal with the notion of 'ideal customer,' i.e., the best representative of a company's target customers. Then, we will look closely at some examples of successful and unsuccessful announcements, analyzing and discussing the reasons for their success or failure. Next, we will explore a few ways to successfully use our imagination and carefully craft original yet clear messages to build a community, placing special emphasis on the different needs of each specific platform. In addition, we will emphasize the importance for a brand to avoid unethical behavior to keep its reputation clear. Finally, we will review a simple strategy to keep creating great content without losing inspiration.
