Digital Marketing: 10 years of collaborative content creation (Institutional Co-Lead)
2023 - 2024

Description Co-led RGU’s institutional submission for the Advance HE Collaborative Award for Teaching Excellence 2024:

Co-Leads: Elliot Pirie and Jack Keenan

Context Statement:

In 2013/14, RGU undertook research into the Digital Marketing Skills Gap (Royle and Laing, 2014) as part of the development of the MSc Digital Marketing that was validated the following year. The research not only informed the design of the Master’s provision, first of its kind in Scotland, but was also reflective of an approach which emphasised collaboration between Industry and Academia. This approach has informed the ethos, curriculum design and pedagogy of not only the subsequent course developments and the approaches of other subject areas within the school, but the growth of the entire Digital Marketing subject discipline.

Ten years on and Digital Marketing provision within RGU has developed beyond a single Master’s course to an entire subject area encompassing the an MSc, an undergraduate suite, a highly successful Short Course, accreditation agreements with three professional bodies, several research projects and KTPs, and modules at both Undergraduate and Postgraduate level embedded across the school and wider institution. Throughout these developments, the focus on industry engagement and collaboration has remained the team’s guiding ethos.
