Why Choose Nazareth for Marketing?

Marketing is about connecting with your target audience. More consumers buy products and services on their smartphone, so traditional media, like radio and television, are rapidly transforming to social media and digital options.

You must still understand the fundamental marketing principles and practices that support great decision-making. But effective marketing now, more than ever, requires a thorough understanding of digital strategies and tactics.

Becoming an expert in one of these marketing specialties increases career opportunities. Choose one of three specialties:

• Marketing communications focuses on content creation and delivering advertising to various channels including social media. Includes an internship at a marketing agency.
• Sales focuses on personal and professional selling and sales management and includes a sales internship.
• Marketing analytics focuses on digital media, search engine optimization (SEO), search content marketing (SCM), applied statistics and visualization. You'll earn two Google Adwords certificates and complete a digital analytics internship.
