The 7-week course will be offered on Thursday evenings from 6:30?8:30 beginning October 6. The instructors will be Frank Dinolfo, Director of Digital Services for HLD, and Robert O’Regan, the agency’s Media Director. Topics to be covered will include:

“We are extremely pleased to be partnering with Harrison Leifer DiMarco to bring digital communications into our continuing ed course catalog. This comprehensive, hands-on course is the latest example of Hofstra’s commitment to offering meaningful continuing education programs that are current with emerging trends and that meet the evolving needs and interests of the community,” said Colleen Slattery, Senior Associate Dean of Hofstra University Continuing Education.
“Consumers are now in control of when, where, and how they are marketed to, and they are increasingly channel-neutral. This means that if businesses are still relying on traditional advertising as their marketing engines, they will quickly be left behind,” Mr. O’Regan said.
“Smart companies are beginning to realize that the only way to keep up with the dramatic shift in contemporary communications is to be channel-neutral themselves, by marshalling the forces of digital marketing and social media networking to build business,” Mr. Dinolfo said.
