What this paper is about
This paper has been designed to provide participants with a broad understanding of the basic concepts of marketing and marketing strategy.
Marketing is about understanding and creating customer value, and is at the heart of any successful organisation. Core concepts introduced include the marketing mix, environmental analysis, consumer behaviour, segmentation, target marketing and positioning, brand equity, and an introduction to marketing research. We will build on these concepts as we uncover the marketing process from the analysis needed to develop marketing strategy, through marketing objectives, to communication objectives and activation.
On completion of the paper, participants will have an understanding of core marketing principles that drive the creation of marketing value in the modern marketplace.
