  • Hi Julie, welcome to the course. I hope you enjoy it and please let me if you have any questions

  • Hi Lohrasp. The MOOC is offered for free as a learning platform. The statement of participation is offered to learners as an optional addition to the service, which is paid for as you have noted. This is all stated in the terms of the course. The MOOC is offered by the University of Southampton (and affiliates) to learners for altruistic purposes, for the joy...

  • Hi Roca. In answer to your question, digital marketing encompasses a whole host of different channels and activities within it. Marketing analytics would perhaps be one small, but very vital, part of the digital marketing entendre. It is a digital marketers way of measuring successes in campaigns etc. Digital marketing simply is a way to market something...

  • Hi Seule, no problem at all. I am very glad to see that you enjoyed it. Please check out our other courses offered by the university of Southampton.

  • Hi Mary, I am very glad that you enjoyed it and found it interesting. Please feel free to check out our other MOOCs that we offer at the university. One starts tomorrow on contract management.

  • Hi Mary, you are very correct regarding the sharing of information/data etc, but up until this point there has not been a central 'hub' for this type of data. This allows all researchers, businesspeople, consumers etc to funnel their data into a central place where others can use it to perform other research objectives, enabling people to discover other...

  • Hi Patricia, It is unfortunate that you are unable to check it out. I would recommend it if you find another way to do it.

  • Hi Mark. Thank you very much for taking part and I hope you will be coming back for another course lead by the University of Southampton. Please let me know if you need more information.

  • Hi Ariadna, I am very glad that you enjoyed the course. I hope you try out another one of our courses on Futurelearn. All the best.

  • Hi Silan, I agree with you to a certain extent, however I would mention that marketers aren't just about increasing revenue for a company. They are also built for engaging people with a brand, altering the perception of a brand, raising awareness, amongst many other things. Obviously this is highly dependent upon the sector and the strategy being used. In your...

  • Hi Yadira, no problem at all. I hope you enjoyed the course.

  • Hi Diana, thanks for your comment. Do you need me to clarify anything for you on this topic? Thanks in advance.

  • Hi Ina, I agree with you. I think there is an increased awareness of how social networks and other organisations leverage and use personal data from customers (although I don't think it is right), there is a perceived value and benefit in using such services - and some would say that there has to be some kind of reciprocation or trade-off and this is it....
