Welcome information

To help you prepare for starting the course please spend some time doing the following:

Read through the following blog posts from HubSpot: 

https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/marketing-101  

https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/marketing-plan-examples  

In the first few weeks we will be looking at some of these points in more detail. During induction you will be asked to work on a mini project in small groups, and this information will help you. 

As you browse the internet and social media over the coming days and weeks, take some screenshots of any marketing examples you come across which you think are particularly good, or particularly bad. We will have a look at them when you arrive at Ravensbourne. Try to think about why you think they are good (or bad) and make some notes so you don’t forget!
