Fundamentals of Cross-Platform Media

This course provides a high-level overview on a wide-range of media topics, including current media platforms and the trends and issues facing media. A different media topic is highlighted each week, including Video, Audio, Digital, Mobile, Social, Search Engine Marketing, Programmatic, Content Marketing, Influencer Marketing, and Sports Marketing.
