Digital Africa Overview and Development This phenomenon powered by the Internet and allied technologies has stirred up a major rethink in business strategies and development approaches. Private firms, governments, and development partners have to use multiple media to communicate and interact with consumers and citizens. Primary among these multiple channels is social media, mobiles and allied information and internet-enabled technologies. However, while some institutions have harnessed these technologies to create value and interact with consumers and citizens, others are yet to even consider it as an opportunity.

Marketing, Branding and Public Relations The basics of marketing strategy formulation will be examined. Special attention will be given to the fundamental differences between targeted audience and to the impact of marketing planning of strategy. The topic is relevant to every sector and organisation. Therefore, all marketers at all levels have to become familiar with and to understand the scope of the designed strategy; timing & budgeting and applicability. 4. Strategic SEO Planning SEO planning is grounded in psychology and strategy, the entire method has more impact when it reaches the stage of coding and content structuring. It can harness synergies with marketing ventures like social media, press releases, public relations and more. But the strategy setting and business analysis components that draw upon a foundation in a Maslow-ian hierarchy of human needs isn’t “purely technical”. 5. Web Site Best Practices The intent is to provide web site managers with an easily accessible reference about some best practices for web content management and usability. This lecture will help you if you are involved in commissioning, designing or managing a website. 6. Competitive Intelligence Competitive intelligence is the art of defining, gathering, analyzing, and distributing intelligence about products, customers, competitors, individuals, concepts, information, ideas or data needed to support executives and managers in making strategic decisions for an organisation; the analytical process that transforms disaggregated competitor intelligence into relevant, accurate and usable strategic knowledge about competitors, position, performance, capabilities and intentions. 7. Data Collection and Building Mailing Lists Good web response management techniques are essential for building relationships with new visitors to your web site, especially if you want to optimize your site as a sales channel. Building a loyal mailing list of potential clients depends on building up a relationship with the people on your mailing list. That way, they will feel some obligation to visit your website and pay for your goods and services. 8. Information & Data Management Information and data management refers to the practice and the study of the activities people perform in order to acquire, organize, maintain, retrieve and use information items such as documents, web pages and email messages for everyday use to complete tasks and fulfill a person’s various roles. The objective of this lecture is to enable the organisation to have the right information in the right place, in the right form, and of sufficient completeness and quality to meet our current need. 9.

Introduction to Outlook When it comes to enhancing your personal productivity, Outlook can serve you very well. Beyond its obvious e-mail capabilities, Outlook offers a whole array of tools you can immediately start to take advantage of in your effort to deal more effectively with both your professional and personal obligations. 13. Plan and Execute Effective Email Campaigns Email marketing is a cost-effective and highly engaging part of the digital marketing mix. It is also one of the most challenging due to issues like spam, changes in how we use email and the fast changing digital environment. 14. Design of Email Marketing Message Before deciding on the messaging and the content of the email marketing campaign, we recommend developing a marketing foundation. The marketing foundation is the cornerstone of the email marketing campaign because it provides direction for the campaign messaging, visual design and copy writing and establishes a benchmark for measuring success. Internet users more often click on links within well-designed newsletter and email communications that offer useful and interesting information. To improve the clickthrough rate, include multiple links to several relevant landing pages. 15. Overview of Microsoft Office Mail-Merge Microsoft Office Mail Merge is when you want to create a set of documents that are essentially the same but where each document contains unique elements. For example, in a letter that announces a new product, your company logo and the text about the product will appear in each letter, and the address and greeting line will be different in each letter. 16. Search Engine Optimizer SEO Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the visibility of a website or a web page in search engines via the "natural" or un-paid ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results. In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the search results page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine's users. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search, academic search,[1] news search and industry-specific vertical search engines. 17. Managing your Campaign Every email campaign strategy has to fit the needs and situation of a business. However, there are components one just can’t ignore. Any email marketing campaign plan should at least address the goals and objectives, situation analysis, target audience and an implementation plan with cost analysis. 18. Social Media Social media has become a platform that is easily accessible to anyone with internet access. Increased communication for organisations fosters brand awareness and often, improved customer service. Additionally, social media serves as a relatively inexpensive platform for organisations to implement marketing campaigns. 19. Customer Relations Management Being competitive in today’s global economy hinges on the ability to interact with consumers online via social and digital CRM (customer relationships management). 20. Introduction to Google Analytics Google Analytics provides powerful tracking for anyone with a web presence, large or small. It's one of the most powerful web analytics solutions on the market - and it's free for anyone to use. No matter how your website affects you and your business, Analytics has something for everyone.
