About the programme

In a world increasingly transformed by technology, marketers need to re-evaluate their approach and make better decisions to provide customer value.

The advanced, highly practical Oxford Digital Marketing: Disruptive Strategy Programme was developed for innovative marketing and advertising professionals who need to create and implement disruptive strategies to generate future business value and growth.

The programme has been developed by Oxford Saïd faculty and leading industry experts, with insight from the Oxford Future of Marketing Initiative, to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of disruptive trends in the digital marketing landscape, and to prepare you for future opportunities with an open mindset.

Delivered in collaboration with digital education provider GetSmarter, a 2U, Inc. brand, you will be part of a community learning together through a dedicated Online Campus.
