Marketing Communication Department

The Marketing Communication Department is one of the main academic departments in the Facutly of Communication and Media at King Abdulaziz University. Its origins date back to 1976 when advertising was introduced as a track within the Department of Media at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities.

The department aims to prepare professionals specialized in marketing communication and advertising who combine theoretical knowledge with practical skills and can plan communication campaigns, manage marketing content, build brands, and understand consumer behavior in rapidly evolving digital environments. The academic program focuses on areas such as marketing content creation, consumer behavior, marketing research, advertising message design, and integrated communication campaigns.
