Syllabus

WEEK 1
Sports Marketing
During Week 1, learners will discover how to conceptualize Sports Marketing in two different ways. Sports Marketing is not only the marketing of sports but also the marketing via sports. This definition explains in clear terms how sports itself can be marketed but also how sports can be used to market other industries. Learners will then, via many examples, identify the prototypical and differentiating characteristics of sports marketing such as Fan Marketing, Influence Marketing, Storytelling in Sports, and Sports Sponsorship. In this module you can activate sports marketing via lessons from experts from Professor John Davis at Duke, CE and Josh Mora, Sports Marketing and Media Program Director at Full Sail University.

WEEK 2
Entertainment Marketing
During Week 2, learners will conceptualize the basic definition of Entertainment Marketing. Entertainment Marketing, as with sports, is not only the marketing of entertainment properties but also marketing via entertainment characteristics. Therefore here too learners will discover that entertainment itself can be marketed but also that other industries can benefit by employing entertainment characteristics or as a medium. Learners will then identify the many of differentiating and trending characteristics of entertainment such as Show Business Marketing, Creating Creative Content, Virtual Reality and Over the Top TV, Entertainment Branding (Placement) and Digital Viral Marketing. In this module you will learn how to apply the wisdom and expertise of Woo Jin Kim, the manager of Psy at YG Entertainment, to your own viral marketing campaigns.

WEEK 3
Cross Country & Cross Industry Innovation in Sports and Entertainment Marketing
In Week 3 learners will be instructed on how companies can seek growth opportunities by cross-country and cross-industry innovation using both sports or entertainment. For both sports and entertainment, they can be the source or the beneficiary of innovation ideas. We frame this as innovation exporting or innovation importing whether it is at the cross-industry level or the cross-industry level, hence CCCI. Learners interested in activating sports and entertainment in a cross country or cross industry manner can adopt the various strategies covered in the interviews with Jörg Dietzel at Audi and HyeongKeun Kang at adidas.

Este curso persigue adentrarse en la realidad del trabajo de un alto ejecutivo: lo qué hace y cómo lo hace. Es un hecho conocido que la mayoría de altos directivos dedican hasta el 90% de su tiempo al día a día y menos del 10% a las tareas asociadas al pensamiento estratégico en la organización. Por eso es importante ir más allá y entender las prioridades que configuran esta actuación diaria. Al final, la mejor estrategia es aquella que se practica; la mejor organización, aquella que funciona; y el quehacer cotidiano coherente con las prioridades establecidas, la base de la continuidad con éxito de las empresas.

The path for entrepreneurs to grow their companies outside of well-developed entrepreneurial ecosystems like Silicon Valley is challenging. Most markets around the world do not look like Silicon Valley, and they never will. But there are other models to support new businesses. In transitioning markets (where entrepreneurs do not have much access to private sector financing), government officials, donors, and business leaders are experimenting with creative approaches to support the growth of entrepreneurs. Northeast Ohio, whose largest city is Cleveland, is one such community. During our time together in this course, we will be exploring some of these innovative approaches.
