About the programme

Course Overview

The first version of a story about brand search result management tends to become the reference version. Reputation built over years is re-assessed publicly within hours when result management is mishandled. The professional literature on the wider communications and media practice agenda converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. It is written for people who have to make brand search result management work with the resources they already have. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting this strand of communications and media practice, ready to be adapted internally. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in result management rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Participants leave with a method for brand search result management, not a set of opinions about it. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting result management and under-invest in testing it. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on the practice within communications and media practice ready to put in front of a decision maker.
