Transmedia Communication is the present and the future. Specialize in this field and access the most reputable companies in the advertising industry”

The world of advertising communication and journalism is experiencing a major turning point. The new context of digital communication, with a wide variety of content available to audiences and numerous platforms available to access them, makes it necessary to conceive communication as a narrative spider's web composed of different pieces. This model leaves behind linear communication, where the receiver had access to information at a specific moment in a single medium.

Now, the viewer has many more options and possibilities of consuming information, being able to access all the content they want through social networks, mobile applications, streaming platforms or live broadcasting, for example. But also, one of the big differences with the communication process of decades ago is that today the user is no longer a mere spectator but a co-creator of stories. Therefore, thanks to their tastes, interactions and recommendations, they have become an essential part of the elaboration process.

No company today is capable of offering a product without first testing its customers, without knowing their tastes or availability. Thanks to virtual communities, large advertising agencies are able to know the feelings of customers about a product without it being on sale yet or even without having seen the final advertisement, just showing a preview of what they will find. And the same can happen with any self-respecting sector: the media announces interviews with relevant characters provoking an interest in the public, videogame creators offer a glimpse of what will be their next hit, and so on. And all this creates so many interactions on the net that it can give a general idea of how the final product will be received.

This is why professionals in the 21st century must be highly specialized in transmedia content, which is the present and the future of communication. Thanks to this professional master’s degree from TECH Global University, the student will be able to create creative stories that transcend the public's expectations and offer a unique experience that makes users feel part of the process.
