Contents

Creative producing is an interdisciplinary field of activity that includes knowledge and understanding of all components of show business, from pre-production to the implementation of promotional plans. The course involves expanding the angle of view on the production of a creative product. As a rule, the authors are focused on certain personal areas of responsibility, their specialization, without thinking about further communication with a wide audience, sponsors, media from other areas and the growth of the product as an integral brand.

During the course, students will study and analyze existing creative production strategies, as well as develop their own strategies and brand books, press releases. These tasks will be carried out in the context of both the author's personal brand and specific projects that students create.

Learning outcomes

The course is aimed at developing students competencies for building strategies and tactics for the release of their creative projects, the ability to ensure the organization and functioning of product promotion, identifying the current and desired target audience as a result.
