Overview
Credits: 15.0
Overlap: None
Prerequisite: NoneThe module seeks to develop students understanding of effective social and political marketing. We tackle specific marketing problems facing today's political public sector:
-The relationship between voters and government, and the degree to which political communication is able to influence in the context of a sophisticated and media-aware society.
-The mixed track record of success and failure in the use of marketing techniques by government, single-issue groups and public sector organizations.The module builds on contemporary cases to develop both theoretical and practical perspectives on public/ political marketing. It is particularly relevant to those with an interest in the use of propaganda and political lobbying; public sector organisations, and the not-for-profit sector, including pressure groups, social cause, and other charities.
