Overview

Graduate Certificate in Strategic Marketing Communications

Strategic Marketing Communications is an experiential, career-focused program at Conestoga College for graduate students who want to learn how to work in the multiple roles expected in the marketing and communications fields. 

Graduates will enter an evolving area of the communications sector. 

The move to integrate how an organization communicates to its internal and external stakeholders has grown partly due to the pervasive use of social media, which enhances and challenges communicators globally. 

All sectors of business and not-for-profit organizations must now manage both offline and online images and messages for consistency across the traditional silos of marketing, sales, advertising, and public relations. 

While graduates know how to work in these diverse fields, they will integrate the disciplines with a common strategic direction to achieve the goals of the organizations that employ them. 

This strategic approach is emphasized through the planning phase and reinforced as students learn to produce professional collateral and digital content using industry-standard technology and emerging social platforms. 

Learning culminates in a client-based capstone project to develop an integrated marketing communications plan.
