Currently in charge of the Home collections at Baccarat, we develop new products for all our markets. ICN was highly formative for me, as I was able to complete an exchange semester in Hong Kong as well as a double Master’s degree with ENSGSI—a dual skill set that is highly sought-after in product marketing.

Programme content
Digital marketing: SEO, SEA, social media and digital strategy
The programme provides comprehensive mastery of digital marketing levers, from fundamentals to advanced strategies. Students develop skills in search engine optimisation (SEO), online advertising (SEA) and social media management. They learn to design coherent, performance-driven digital strategies aligned with brand objectives.
In the first year, courses focus on digital marketing fundamentals, online communication, digital customer experience and CRM tools. Content strategy and community management also play a central role.
Influence strategies: influencer management and influence campaigns
The MSc explores emerging communication dynamics linked to digital influence. Students analyse the various stakeholders in the influence ecosystem, content formats and market trends.
In the second year, they learn how to design and manage influence campaigns, handle brand e-reputation and anticipate crisis situations. Digital storytelling and brand strategy further strengthen this strategic approach.
Data and performance: data analysis and campaign optimisation
Particular emphasis is placed on digital performance analysis and data-driven management. Students develop skills in web analytics, performance measurement and marketing campaign optimisation.
They are also trained in digital business models, legal considerations (GDPR, ethics) and innovations related to artificial intelligence in marketing.
