Master's Degree in Media and Communication Management: Brand Management Specialisation 

Do you want to understand the real business value of brands? Structural changes in today’s population and the digitalisation of our society demand new brand management skills. Digital branding forms a new core competence for agencies and companies. Brands play an important role in business and society.
 
Managing brands without thinking about digital platforms is inconceivable today. Not only do traditional brand leadership and management need to be evaluated, but special attention needs to be given to the role of social media platforms and co­-creation.

Students specialising in brand management learn about current brand management issues and gain awareness for the interrelation of brands within complex brand architectures. This area of specialisation teaches students how to combine the field of management with creative planning and prepares them for leadership roles and tasks in brand development, marketing communication and design functions.
