Key Summary
Introduction
The Vogue Fashion Business & Creative Entrepreneurship online course is designed for anyone with an interest in exploring entrepreneurship and starting their own business in the fashion, media, and/or creative industries. Perfect for those wishing to investigate what is involved in developing new ideas, strategic planning, understanding the current marketplace and what it takes to identify and introduce a concept that engages with a select target audience.
The course provides second-to-none industry insights, key market trends, creative theory, business types and ethical practice, innovation and leadership traits. With an integral focus on how to establish a clear business idea and go-to-market plan, you will also learn; how to recognise opportunities and research the potential of a business concept, who the main competitors of that business might be, how to write an effective business proposition and deliver a pitch.
Every week there will be a range of activities for you to complete.
