Department of Digital and Strategic Marketing
Creatively Transforming Businesses for Christ
From pitching a campaign in ZuVenturez, APU’s very own Shark Tank-inspired competition, to visiting top advertising agencies through study abroad opportunities, our students creatively engage in the modern digital and strategic marketing arena under the guidance of industry-connected professors. Located near Los Angeles, one of the world’s top media markets, we connect students with internships and service endeavors that make them stand out.
We believe our graduates will transform businesses and communities through their ability to strategically communicate, create a distinct brand, and understand customers—guided by a deeply integrated faith perspective.
Micayla Brewster ’17: From Broadway to Digital Nomading and Back
For some, social media is simply a platform to share the food they eat or the concerts they attend, while for others, it’s a way to connect with old friends and maintain relationships with family far away.
For Micayla Brewster ’17, social media is so much more, a passion that blossomed into a one-of-a-kind career.
Just six years after graduating from Azusa Pacific University, Brewster has lived in more than 25 locations across the world as a self-proclaimed digital nomad and she recently launched her own company, The Social Team.
