Student guide

What are the takeaways from the Creative Market Communications Management course?


The two-year master Creative Market Communications Management course will introduce you to knowledge and skills necessary for success in the increasingly complex world of design and market communications. Many people think they know how to communicate, but a few know how to communicate successfully and – effectively. Our study programme will prepare you for a career of a successful and efficient designer; a member or a leader of creative teams in advertising or any other industry.


The study programme is designed through the interaction of the latest artistic, social and technological knowledge. We believe that only such a broad and comparative approach can be the basis for a successful career in the world of design and market communications.

Integrated Marketing Communication and Market Trends:

Mastering integrated marketing communication and its managing processes. Complete understanding of all elements of the marketing mix and their correlation. Understanding changes and trends in international socio-economic relations, ability of synergy adjustments and finding optimal communication solutions.

Idea Management in Market Communications:

Understanding the processes of generating a “big idea” – a complex creative tool that through the interaction of emotional and rational stimuli provokes the potential consumer and leads to a moment of enthusiasm for a particular service or product. Communication platforms are the initiator and support of every successful brand.

Creative Methods and Techniques in Market Communications:

Creativity and design that are not effective are not commercially useful. The expectations of the client/customer of a particular design should be recognized and interpreted. The balance between market expectations and creative processes is a precondition for successful communication. Through this course you will learn how to be creative and “yourself” in demanding, market-conditioned and unpredictable circumstances.

Consumer Behavior:

Learn how to understand the behavior of consumers in increasingly complex conditions of the fourth industrial revolution. The usual consumer segmentation and “persona” recognition is no longer good enough today. The consumer can be found in the most unexpected places, in the digital space that runs out of control, changes and goes through everyday transformations. The “things to be done” concept as a way of understanding consumer behavior is increasingly replaced by traditional demographic bases for market segmentation.

Branding – Corporate Identity:

Understanding the brand and its significance is one of the crucial conditions for survival in the market game which is strongly linked to design. By acquiring knowledge about creating relationships between products and consumers, we gain insight into human desires, needs, motives, expectations, perceptions and rational and irrational impulses that condition our experience of a particular brand.

Process Management in Market Communications:

Learn about the importance of managing the processes of designing and creating market communications as well as about the problems and necessities of an organized, procedural way of organizing work. Deeply consider the analytical, procedural model of optimization and documentation of business processes.

Advanced Presentation Skills:

Presentation skills are often a crucial tool for the success of a project. Many ideas would never have become successful projects without the knowledge of presentation techniques and without a good command of professional terminology.

Business Ethics in Market Communications:

Adopt the knowledge of fundamental concepts in the field of ethics, especially in the context of the business world. Learn to differentiate the conceptual categories of ethics, morals, descriptive ethics, casuistry and business ethics. In short, learn how to do business the right way!

  • Client Service Director
    Client relationships are often a crucial element for the success of a company, as well as for the success of any project, service, idea or product.

An analytical mind and understanding of human interactions are essential for success in this business.

Example Class

Creative Methods and Techniques in Market Communications

What is cross-cultural design? More than ever before, companies of today spread their user experience across national and cultural boundaries. Cross-cultural design is a process consistent with these tendencies, namely, it concerns the design of technologies and communication intended for different cultures, languages and levels of purchasing power. This approach enables user experience regardless of cultural boundaries. Do we need cross-cultural design? Technology and communication are always subject to the culture in which they are created and which they develop in return. For this reason, users interpret the products they use based on their cultural insights. In this course, you will learn how to define the target group for a specific product or service and how to understand the social culture of a particular consumer.
