Within the marketing mix, communication is the most visible lever under the scrutiny of customers and the general public. At the same time, it offers a set of tools and opportunities that, if properly managed, enable businesses and organisations to enhance their brand and gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. For this to happen, corporate communication must be planned, implemented and controlled in a fully managerial manner, effectively utilising the characteristics of the available channels and techniques. In particular, an integrated management approach of communication levers is needed to produce coherent and effective messages.

Didactic Method
In line with the overall Rome Business School approach and the best international standards, the course has been designed with the aim of providing a preparation of excellence, oriented towards concrete application in the labour, professional and business markets. The course therefore envisages both mainly one-way didactic phases – to accurately transfer the conceptual reference models – and practical-applicative sessions aimed at developing operational and management skills. Learning of the topics covered will be tested and consolidated through exercises on concrete management cases.
