Why now?

Marketing and Communication: How AI Is Transforming Professions and Shaping the Future of Skills.

Professions in marketing, communications, customer relations, CRM, media, branding, and digital are among the first to be profoundly transformed by artificial intelligence. A growing proportion of the tasks historically assigned to junior staff can now be accelerated, enhanced, or performed by AI.

This transformation does not mean that these professions will disappear. It means that their focus is shifting: when producing ten, one hundred, or one thousand variations becomes almost instantaneous, the value of the professional shifts toward their ability to understand, imagine, choose, orchestrate, influence, decide, and take responsibility.

For years, early professional experience in these roles has centered on production, execution, and analysis: reporting, benchmarks, content, creative variations, publications, segmentation, CRM campaigns, market monitoring, search engine optimization, presentations, and recommendations. Generative AI and chatbots can now accelerate or handle an increasing portion of these tasks.

A LinkedIn study published in 2025 shows a 10% year-over-year decline in the hiring of recent graduates for marketing and communications positions across several markets surveyed, amid the automation of tasks previously assigned to junior employees.

The goal of training, therefore, is less about learning a new tool and more about shifting the focus of professionals toward skills that are harder to automate: understanding customers, creativity, cultural intelligence, brand judgment, strategy, storytelling, influence, and accountability.

AI multiplies what can be produced. Humans remain responsible for what is worth creating.

The Promise of the MSc

What the MSc is. What it isn't.

You're already familiar with marketing and communications. Now learn how to transform them.

The MSc program is designed for graduates with a five-year degree who have already received training in marketing, communications, digital marketing, CRM, customer relations, or customer experience. It does not repeat their professional training. Instead, it provides them with a second skill set that has become essential: expertise in AI and data.

No data scientists. No AI engineers. The program equips marketers and communications professionals with the skills to understand, use, build, and manage AI and data solutions in their own professional environments.

It's not

  • A new general education program in marketing or communications.
  • A program designed to train students to become data scientists or AI engineers.
  • A catalog of tools or prompts without a data architecture, governance, or project management.
  • A specialization that replaces the previously earned five-year professional degree.

That's

  • Dual expertise: industry expertise + data + AI.
  • A journey to understand technology at the level needed to work with it, choose it, challenge it, and manage it.
  • A training program focused on customer data, content, branding, media, CRM, customer acquisition, customer journey, and customer relationships.
  • Learning by Doing: Analyses, Creation Systems, Agents, Orchestrations, and Transformation Blueprints.
  • A training program that covers governance, trust, the GDPR, the AI Act, intellectual property, brand safety, and human oversight.

Marketing & Communication + Data + AI

Three skills that are now inseparable when it comes to understanding customers, building brands, creating experiences, and transforming business lines.
