About the course
The Sustainable Marketing, Media and Creative online short course from the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) equips you with skills and strategies to re-align the purpose of marketing, media and creative to support long-term wellbeing for all people and planet. Over eight weeks, you’ll learn how to inspire and reignite the potential for brands and creative roles to enable positive change. You’ll also gain a heightened awareness of both marketing’s physical impact on people and the environment and its capacity to influence human behaviours and identities, and engage in challenging discussions on issues such as growth, greenwashing and consumption.
You’re invited to join a global cohort of industry pioneers, committed to reclaiming marketing’s role in the world. Through a combination of live sessions, peer support circles and discussion, you’ll build vital connections that can help facilitate innovation and inspire collaborative action. With guidance from faculty and industry experts, you’ll also unlock practical strategies to drive transition and transformation in your sphere of influence, and develop the tools and confidence to maximise impact in your own career. At the end of the course, you’ll move from ambition to implementation with a practical Strategy for Action, setting you up to challenge the status quo and assume your place at the forefront of this change.
Gain valuable and relevant skills, and walk away with:
- Enhanced knowledge of your role in challenging and redefining marketing, media and creative’s business-as-usual practices to recreate value and contribute to sustainable development.
- Real-world strategies for rewiring marketing’s psychological and sociological impacts and reforming its physical impact on people, nature and climate.
