Affirming that the craft of communicating is constantly evolving is not a cliché. As an example, if the structure of an advertising agency of a few years ago could be compared with a current one, as well as the professional figures and the type of work produced, the difference would be striking. Evolution is not only continuous, but so rapid that it is sometimes confusing.

Educational Objectives

The proliferation of touchpoints and channels with which the public can be reached today is exponential. It is a context that offers countless opportunities to those who have the tools to face it. But at the same time, the skills for those who want to deal with communication multiply and tend to escape traditional classifications. Precisely for these reasons, if updating is necessary in this professional path, so is in-depth analysis. The IAAD. project of the 2° Level Academic diploma course in Communication Design has exactly this double goal: on the one hand, to strengthen the technical knowledge relating to the most current expressive methods, especially in the digital field; while on the other hand, further develop the themes that make up the set of fundamental principles.

To ensure the achievement of these objectives and the maximum effectiveness of the program, also in terms of professional opportunities, IAAD. has chosen to give a precise orientation to its two-year post-graduate program, placing the theme of brand management and communication at the center. The relationship between brand, users, society, and communication channels is a complex and multifaceted territory that requires a variety of approaches. Communicating and managing the image of a brand today is an activity that goes far beyond the narrow commercial logic, although the latter cannot be excluded. Brands in the current context can no longer limit themselves to the simple role of “communicators of themselves”, subject and at the same time object of their messages, both commercial and institutional.

Today, brands are at the center of an equal relationship with their reference world, a two-way communication much closer to the interpersonal one than to the obsolete one that used to go from the company to the public. And as happens in relationships between people, the effectiveness of the information exchange requires listening skills, sensitivity, correct choice of expressive methods, as well as awareness of the cultural and social background of those who are dealing with the brand. It is a communication that has the obligation to take into account the deep connections, including emotional ones, that bind people to brands, considered as an integral part of our daily life and with which, whether we like it or not, we are establishing relationships that are often beyond the relationship between product and user, to cross over instead into the field of affectivity.

This type of communication, increasingly used by brands, requires the ability to manage multiple and often multidisciplinary languages. For instance, the creation of the event is combined with video production, the competition with the social media publishing plan, the charity initiative with publishing activity. According to IAAD., it is a field that deserves and needs specific training, a subject that includes all the modalities and at the same time clarifies its boundaries
