Learning outcomes
The aim of this course is to provide students with the theoretical and practical tools for creating a transmedia communication project. We will refer to concepts such as multimedia, cross-media and transmediality to clarify specific characteristics, issues and fundamental differences in order to identify the steps needed to design and implement a complete and original project. Examples and best practices will be used - especially in the English language - in the field of marketing communication, brand and corporate storytelling, journalism and public relations. In addition, the lessons will be enriched by the presence of professional testimonial, workshops and seminars with agencies and companies.
