Fashion Marketing and Promotion

Fashion marketing and promotion is a degree that sits at the intersection of the creative and commercial dimensions of the fashion industry, developing the skills to communicate fashion to consumers, buyers, editors, and the public across digital and traditional channels. Fashion marketing applies marketing principles to the distinctive dynamics of the fashion industry, examining how brands build identity, how collections are positioned in competitive markets, how consumer behaviour in fashion is shaped by culture and media, and how digital platforms have transformed how fashion reaches its audiences. Fashion promotion adds the creative and visual communication skills needed to produce the campaigns, content, and experiences through which fashion brands tell their stories.

At the University of Westminster, this three-year programme is designed for creative, passionate, and motivated students who want to pursue a creative degree within the fashion industry and develop a solid understanding of the industry in the digital era. You will study fashion marketing strategy, consumer behaviour, brand management, digital marketing and social media, visual merchandising, fashion journalism, and the creative production skills needed for fashion promotion across platforms. Westminster's location in London and its strong connections to the fashion and creative industries give the degree excellent access to the professional world you are preparing to enter.

The programme includes a sandwich year and a work placement, giving you substantial professional experience in a fashion marketing or promotion context. This direct industry experience is important in a competitive sector where a portfolio of professional work and a network of industry contacts can be as significant as your academic qualification.

Graduates move into roles including brand manager, marketing executive, fashion PR and communications manager, social media and content manager, buyer, visual merchandiser, fashion journalist, and digital marketing specialist at fashion brands and in agencies. Postgraduate study in marketing, fashion management, or communications is available for those who wish to develop their expertise further.
