Why Now?

Marketing and Communication: When AI Transforms Professions and Shapes New Skills.

Careers in Marketing, Communication, Customer Relations, CRM, Media, Branding, and Digital are among the first to be profoundly transformed by Artificial Intelligence. An increasing share of tasks historically assigned to entry-level professionals can now be accelerated, scaled up, or performed by AI.

This transformation does not mean the disappearance of these professions. It means that their focus is shifting: when producing ten, one hundred, or one thousand variations becomes almost instantaneous, the value of the professional shifts toward their ability to understand, imagine, choose, orchestrate, influence, decide, and take responsibility.

For years, early professional experience in these roles has centered on production, execution, and analysis: reporting, benchmarks, content, creative variations, publications, segmentation, CRM campaigns, market monitoring, search engine optimization, presentations, and recommendations. Generative AI and bots can now accelerate or perform an increasing share of these tasks.

A LinkedIn study published in 2025 indicates a 10% year-over-year decline in the hiring of recent graduates for marketing and communications roles across several markets, amid the automation of tasks previously assigned to junior-level employees.

The challenge of training, therefore, lies less in learning a new tool than in shifting the professional's value toward skills that are harder to automate: customer understanding, creativity, cultural intelligence, brand judgment, strategy, storytelling, influence, and accountability.

AI multiplies what can be produced. Humans remain responsible for what is worth creating.

The Promise of the MSc

What the MSc is. What it isn't.

You're already familiar with Marketing or Communication. Now learn how to transform them.

The MSc is designed for graduates with a five-year degree who are already trained in the fields of Marketing, Communication, Digital Marketing, CRM, Customer Relations, or Customer Experience. It does not retrain them in their core professions. Instead, it equips them with a second set of skills that has become indispensable: mastery of AI and data.

Not data scientists. Not AI engineers. The program equips marketers and communications professionals to understand, use, build, and manage AI and data solutions within their own professional environments.

This is not

  • A new general training program in Marketing or Communications.
  • A curriculum that seeks to transform participants into data scientists or AI engineers.
  • A catalog of tools or prompts without data architecture, governance, or project management.
  • A specialization that replaces the five-year professional degree already held.

It is

  • A dual skill set: domain expertise + Data + AI.
  • A program designed to help you understand technology at the level needed to work with it, choose it, challenge it, and manage it.
  • Training applied to customer data, content, branding, media, CRM, customer acquisition, customer journeys, and customer relationships.
  • Learning by building: analytics, creation systems, agents, orchestrations, and transformation blueprints.
  • A program that integrates governance, trust, GDPR, the AI Act, intellectual property, brand safety, and human oversight.

Marketing & Communication + Data + AI

Three skills that are now inseparable for understanding customers, building brands, creating experiences, and transforming business functions.

Dual Accreditation

  • MSc AI & Data for Marketing & Communication—a six-year post-secondary degree from aivancity.
  • RNCP Level 7 Certification: Project Manager in Artificial Intelligence Solutions Development.
  • RNCP 38584—Certifying Body: aivancity.

This certification validates skills in data, artificial intelligence, AI solution development, leveraging results, and managing AI projects—all applied here to address challenges in marketing, communication, and customer relations.

Who is this program for?

The MSc is open to candidates with a five-year post-secondary degree (Bac+5) who have training in:

  • Marketing
  • Communication
  • Digital Marketing
  • CRM
  • Customer Relations
  • Customer Experience

No prior programming experience is required for admission. Before the start of the academic year, admitted students participate in "Boarding for aivancity," a 20-hour online preparatory program covering Python, SQL, data, APIs, and programming fundamentals.
