Creative Marketing on the Digital Channel

Professor Pete Nice

Professor Peter Nice

New digital publishing platforms mean new opportunities for businesses and organizations to find an audience for their message. For most, the technical barrier to entry is low, and the costs are almost non-existent. However, therein lies a challenge. With so many voices competing for attention on the digital channel, how do you make the most of your efforts and cut through the cruft? 

This workshop will give you insight on how to create a campaign that will reach influencers, forge new alliances and capture mindshare. We will explore creative approaches to tools within popular social platforms and prepare for what’s coming next. We will also explore how the digital channel has evolved and learn how turn our own expertise and creativity into measurable business results.

Peter Mitchell, (Pete Nice) is a multimedia creative director with ten years of agency experience, and (gasp) twenty years of creative work in the digital channel.
