Course Overview
Engineering SMEs will always need to find ways to capture the attention of their market, and establish their authority in their space. From the outside, the world of marketing seems to change rapidly. However, when we look deeper, we notice that the basic objectives and thinking remain the same. New tools emerge to enhance the process, but we are constantly seeking the same outcomes. We will return to the basics of marketing by looking at logos and websites, creating digital content, and how offline and online marketing may feature in a business.
