Programme overview
A digital marketing background with a specialisation in entertainment or music business
Programme jointly delivered by UCLA Extension and SKEMA Business School
Entertainment, music, digital marketing programme outline
SKEMA and the prestigious US university UCLA Extension offer a program specifically co-constructed for SKEMA’s Master in Management and Two-Year MSc/DESMI* students or for those who have already done an MSc, or a BBA at SKEMA, to meet the challenges of transformation and expansion in the entertainment or music industry sectors.
All students follow a common programme in digital marketing to which they can add the specialisation of their choice:
- Business & Management of Entertainment:
Digital marketing tends to use tools that are increasingly close to the film industry, while the entertainment industry uses digital marketing more and more widely for promotion. Video content platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and the industry on a larger scale, have accelerated the need for content and its promotion. This has created new opportunities
for students.
- Music Business:
As the music industry develops rapidly, the Music Business Certificate serves both aspiring and established music industry executives, artists, producers, managers, songwriters, and publishers who need up-to-date information on the principles of
the music industry in the areas of A&R, touring, marketing, legal issues, publishing, and artist management.
