It feels like something worth watching. Brands, nonprofits, media companies, and organizations of all kinds need people who can do more than develop a communication strategy\u2014and more than produce great content. They need people who understand how the two work together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s what you&#8217;ll learn here. The MS in Branded Content Production brings together audience insight, brand strategy, storytelling, and hands-on media production. You&#8217;ll learn to understand audiences, determine what will connect with them, and bring that idea to life through videos, documentaries, podcasts, social campaigns, and other forms of content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strategy shapes the message. Production brings it to life. This program teaches you how to move fluently between the two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re coming from communication, marketing, journalism, film, business, design, or an entirely different field, you&#8217;ll learn to create compelling content while solving communication challenges for brands and organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"758\" height=\"460\" src=\"\/com\/files\/2025\/10\/branded-content-radio-card.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43883\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/com\/files\/2025\/10\/branded-content-radio-card.jpg 758w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/com\/files\/2025\/10\/branded-content-radio-card-636x386.jpg 636w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 758px) 100vw, 758px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5><strong><strong>Know what to say.<\/strong><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Understand audiences through research, then turn those insights into communication strategy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"758\" height=\"460\" src=\"\/com\/files\/2025\/10\/branded-content-film-studio-card.jpg\" alt=\"Two people working behind a camera in a film studio.\" class=\"wp-image-43884\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/com\/files\/2025\/10\/branded-content-film-studio-card.jpg 758w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/com\/files\/2025\/10\/branded-content-film-studio-card-636x386.jpg 636w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 758px) 100vw, 758px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5><strong><strong>Know how to tell it.<\/strong><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Turn strategy into stories through video, podcasts, documentaries, social content, and other multimedia formats.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"758\" height=\"460\" src=\"\/com\/files\/2025\/10\/branded-content-ibmlab-card.jpg\" alt=\"Woman working with a tablet in a computer lab.\" class=\"wp-image-43885\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/com\/files\/2025\/10\/branded-content-ibmlab-card.jpg 758w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/com\/files\/2025\/10\/branded-content-ibmlab-card-636x386.jpg 636w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 758px) 100vw, 758px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5><strong>Know how to make it happen.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Take ideas from concept through production and delivery\u2014managing teams, timelines, budgets, and clients along the way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Who this Master\u2019s program is for<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Creators who want to think strategically: <\/strong>Add audience insight, branding, and communication strategy to your creative and production skills.<\/li><li><strong>Strategists who want to create: <\/strong>Learn to turn the ideas you&#8217;ve developing and managing into content you can produce.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Career changers who want both: <\/strong>Bring your expertise from another field and build the strategic, storytelling, and production skills to launch a new creative career.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>What you&#8217;ll learn<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Today&#8217;s communication teams need people who can move between strategy and execution.
