How to use paths

Module 1: 

Introduction to Attention Metrics

The keys to successful marketing communication lie in the mind of the customer. Suppose we can understand how the customer is affected by communication. In that case, we can also to a greater extent, figure out why certain communications are successful. In this course, you will get a review of the psychology behind communication when the course leader Erik Modig presents the Influence Matrix from his winning book Bang for the Buck.

You will gain a deeper understanding of the psychology behind effective marketing communication. You will get the vocabulary to talk and discuss different effects and concepts that are crucial for understanding why certain communications succeed or fail.

For the first time since the digital era began, we have in black and white how long customers are actually looking at your ads. It can make for scary reading. Now the train is moving towards attention customization of ads and brands. The opportunities of being at the forefront are great. The risks of not doing so are greater.

Module 2: 

Attention and Media Investments

No matter how much money you spend on advertising, benefits can be gained. Firstly, analyze your existing purchases and weed out any bad placements and channels. Secondly, match the right media channel and exposure with the right ad and purpose. This way, you get more out of your advertising without spending more.

Module 3: 

Attention and Brand Strategy

To succeed with short-exposure advertising, companies not only need to change their ads, but many also need to change their brand identity guidelines. In short exposure time, the brand's identification needs to be lightning-fast. The course goes through what you need to consider reviewing and changing to increase the impact of your advertising.

Module 4: 

Attention and Ad Design

When over 80% of all digital ads have an exposure time of around 2 seconds, it is not only essential but crucial that every company knows how to get the most out of a short exposure time. In this course, we go through the conditions and how each company needs to adapt its advertising.

One of the most important criteria for communication to be effective is that the target audience pays attention to it. However, human attention is not easy to get, and many pitfalls lead to ads not being seen. Here you will get an overview of how attention works to ensure you design your communication to capture, retain and extend the time your current and potential customers spend looking at it.

You will learn to really understand how attention is achieved. You will receive several checklists that can be used to find the potential for improvement in your existing and future communications.

Finally, we have arrived at ad design. This is where you can really increase your impact if you follow the guidelines. We start with the course that is specially designed to handle ad placements that only have about 2 seconds of fixation time.

Examination

Tillvägagångssätt

Examinationen består av två olika delar som examineras samtidigt eller var för sig.

Flervalsfrågor

För det första kommer du att få en uppsättning av 20 st flervalsfrågor baserat på innehållet i de fyra modulerna. Frågorna har ett rätt svar utifrån fyra olika alternativ. Här behöver du få 15 rätt för att bli godkänd. Om du inte får det vid första tillfället kan du ta testet igen en vecka efteråt.

Inlämningsuppgift

Du behöver också genomföra en inlämningsuppgift som består av två moment med två uppgifter i vardera moment.

  1. Analys av beslutsfattande
    För det första ska du själv väljer ett bolag som du analyserar utifrån vilken typ av påverkan deras kommunikation skulle behöva ha på sin målgrupp för att lyckas med ett utsatt mål. Du anger vilket bolag, vilket mål de har och redogör för hur de ska uppnå det genom att koppla an till de olika begreppen i modul 1.

    För det andra kommer vi att ge dig ett bolag och ett specifikt mål som du ska analysera utifrån vilken typ av påverkan deras kommunikation skulle behöva ha för att lyckas med det uppsatta målet. Här ska du förklara utifrån de begrepp som presenteras i modul 1 vad kommunikationen skulle behöva uppnå.
  2. Analys av marknadskommunikation
    För det första vill vi att du väljer ett exempel av marknadskommunikation (en annons, ett mail eller liknande) och analyserar vilken möjlig effekt denna kommunikation bör ha på en definierad målgrupp.

    För det andra kommer vi att ge dig ett exempel av marknadskommunikation (en annons, ett mail eller likande) där vi vill att du analyserar möjlig effekt samt kommer med tre konkreta förbättringsförslag.

Hela inlämningsuppgiften bedömer vi tar ca 2 timmar och vardera analys ca 0,5 A4 i skrift, så totalt ca 2 A4 text.

Efter inlämning får du besked om du är godkänd. Om ej godkänd kommer krav på komplettering och då är du godkänd när den färdigställts. När båda delarna är klara får du ditt diplom.

Examination

Approach

The examination consists of two different parts that are examined simultaneously or separately.

Multiple choice questions

Firstly, you will receive a set of 20 multiple choice questions based on the content of the four modules. The questions have one correct answer from four different options. Here you need to get 15 right to pass. If you don't get it right the first time, you can take the test again a week later.

Hand-in assignment

You will also have to complete an assignment consisting of two parts with two assignments in each part.

  1. Analysis of decision-making
    Firstly, you will choose a company to analyze based on the type of impact their communication would need to have on their target audience in order to achieve a set goal. You indicate which company, which goal they have and explain how they will achieve it by linking to the different concepts in module 1.

    Secondly, we will give you a company and a specific goal to analyze based on the type of impact their communication would need to have in order to achieve the set goal. Here you should explain, based on the concepts presented in Module 1, what the communication would need to achieve.
  2. Analysis of marketing communication
    Firstly, we want you to choose an example of marketing communication (an advertisement, an email or similar) and analyze the possible effect this communication should have on a defined target group.

    Secondly, we will give you an example of marketing communication (an advertisement, an email, or similar) where we want you to analyze the possible effect and come up with three concrete suggestions for improvement.

We estimate that the entire assignment will take about 2 hours and each analysis about 0.5 A4 in writing, so a total of about 2 A4 text.

After submission, you will be notified if you are approved. If not approved, you will be required to complete the work. When both parts are completed, you will receive your diploma.
