Further, the current instruments in these fields by key examples of the marketing tools will be presented.

We will talk about how you can find a brand-like identity and develop brand positioning. You will learn the ways to win the attention of your audience and evoke the emotions people can resonate with, as well as where to find content ideas that can benefit your brand.
