Instructor Erika DiProfio, director of marketing at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa, said: “I believe it’s important for anyone who is involved or plans to be involved in marketing, whether it’s a CMO, public relations professional, CEO, or media buyer, to understand how the marketing landscape has evolved into a multichannel, fully integrated practice. The fundamentals of marketing haven’t changed, but the way we interact with our customers has.”
