Web area modules
DIGITAL STRATEGY online & offline integration: overview of all the main online marketing channels, peculiarities and differences between them. From SEO to email marketing, through social media to mobile, we will try to understand what criteria should guide us in choosing the optimal mix for different types of companies and businesses. We will then discover channel integration strategies aimed at maximising the contribution of each channel in the cycle that starts from traffic generation and must lead to conversion into sales, also considering offline aspects.
WEB ANALYTICS BASIC: we will teach how to use software, primarily Google Analytics, useful for acquiring business intelligence information on the needs, behaviour, tastes and preferences of one’s audience. The collection and interpretation of data will then be used to implement consequent web marketing actions, the results of which will be measured and interpreted again for further changes in communication strategy. Other tools will include A/B testing tools, heat maps, webmaster tools and more.
SEM & DISPLAY ADVERTISING convert the traffic generated on your site: this module teaches how to use various PPC (Pay Per Click) type tools with which to implement targeted strategies in terms of location, days, times as well as interests, age and gender of the users. These include Google Ads and its Keyword advertising and Display Advertising (banner) functions.
E-MAIL MARKETING: DEM (Direct Email marketing) is a historically outdated tool but still extremely effective in stimulating actions that often lead to online sales. We will look at all the technological, communicative and copywriting tricks to be able to clearly improve the performance of this tool.
SEO (Search Engine Optimization): activities aimed at optimising your presence on search engines in order to generate traffic of users interested in your products and services. SEO is a historical discipline that has undergone, and continues to undergo, radical changes in recent years, becoming the most holistic of web marketing disciplines.
MOBILE MARKETING: we will discover how through Smartphones and Tablets it is now possible to reach one’s audience and create integrated strategies with other media. We will understand how to design Mobile Apps, mobile advertising campaigns, SMS marketing, mobile Couponing.
INBOUND MARKETING & LEAD GENERATION: through this emerging discipline we will define the sequence of optimal actions (Funnels) to be taken by visitors to your website in order to maximise the likelihood that they will convert into customers. We will understand how to attribute to each medium (SEO, SEM, email, social…) the correct role in the right phase of the conversion process.
E-COMMERCE STRATEGIES & MANAGEMENT: we will define the critical success factors of an online sales project, analysing for each of them the Best Practices that produce the best results. We will discuss online strategy, online sales channels, and technological choices, although offline topics such as range choices, warehouse management (Drop Shipment), customer service and organisational set-up will not be missing.
WEBSITE CREATION & WORDPRESS: the website is the starting and finishing point of any web marketing action and as such is a dynamic tool that must be improved and modified on a daily basis. In this module we will teach you how to build it using WordPress, the CMS that allows you to create and manage websites without the need for programming and design skills.
LOCATION BASED MARKETING: the development of technologies and the mobile world now make it possible to carry out marketing actions based on the geographic location of our potential customers, enabling us to reach them in the right place and at the right time to optimise our advertising expenditure. We will discover in this module the ways and software to do this.
AFFILIATE MARKETING: New business activity traditionally carried out through agents and sales networks in the traditional offline world is increasingly finding a counterpart online in affiliate marketing. We will learn about its principles, intermediaries and software to create, manage and remunerate your online sales force.

E-commerce/Web Advanced Modules
E-COMMERCE SOFTWARE & MAGENTO: We will analyse the pros and cons of the different ways of choosing your E-commerce platform, evaluating the risks and opportunities of each, from the use of proprietary solutions to the choice of open source CMS (Content Management System) software. We will show why we favour the choice of Open Source solutions and in particular the Magento CMS. We will create online stores using Magento itself and teach how to use its main functionalities: from product catalogue creation to product card enrichment, from marketing & sales functionalities to order and warehouse management.
USER EXPERIENCE: You will learn how to design the intangible, how to create an effective strategy to improve the user experience on a website across the board. You will understand the difference between UX and UI because to be truly useful to users visiting a site, graphics are not enough: the interface is not the solution. We will explain what the user experience is, which elements are important for a successful project: website usability, content strategy, visual design, information architecture, user research, graphic interaction and many others, as well as the tools that are indispensable for the maximum effectiveness of the user experience.
SEM ADVANCED + Programmatic & real time bidding: We will understand how the emerging technologies of Programmatic Buying and Real Time Bidding are giving a new direction to the SEM sector and we will understand the logic on which these technologies are based. We will also delve into the opportunities of Retargeting/Remarketing technologies and try out the tools made available by the main players in the sector.
WEB ANALYTICS ADVANCED: the ever-increasing availability of information in the world of digital marketing requires the ability to know how to use tools capable of integrating it effectively, such as Google’s Universal Analytics. In this module, we will learn how to integrate mobile and desktop data with data from social media and social analytics. However, we will also discover and use A/B testing and eye tracking tools to improve our understanding of the preferences, habits, and interests of our potential customers.
SEO ADVANCED: we will present the latest updates in search engine algorithms (Google Panda, Penguin, Hummingbird and others) that bring about significant changes for SEO specialists. In particular, the increasing need for integration between this discipline and the issues of content marketing, social media, and semantics in order to produce results. We will also propose some advanced tools.
