Assessment: Integrated marketing plan oral presentation
You will review the current market situation for one product (good or service) of your chosen organisation (brand). You will also use the same product (good or service) in Assessment 2. In this assessment, you will present a written document summarising a situational analysis of your selected case organisation. Then, make an oral presentation of market segmentation, targeting and positioning for your product and provide justified recommendations.
Learning Outcome 1: Demonstrate an advanced understanding of contemporary marketing theory and practice.
Learning Outcome 2: Evaluate marketing concepts and organisational issues to make evidence-based decisions on creating value for customers.
Learning Outcome 3: Communicate marketing knowledge, skills, and ideas to others in writing clearly, persuasively, and credibly.
Task
In creating, communicating, and delivering a value offering, Marketing Managers engage in a marketing planning process that is both strategic and tactical. In the assessments for this subject, we will link marketing management theories to practice by assuming the role of a Marketing Manager. You will:
1. conducting a market situation analysis,
2. performing secondary (desktop) market research
3. establishing goals and objectives, and
4. developing recommendations for marketing strategies and tactics for a product (good or service) of your choosing.
Choose one product (good or service) of an organisation (brand) of your choice. We suggest using your own organisation, but you can choose any other. You will use the same product (good or service) in assessment 2.
Both assessments are linked. In assessment 2, you will identify gaps and recommend improvements based on your marketing mix analysis using the 7Ps. In assessment 2, you will investigate how your marketing plan aligns with a customer persona. In both assessments, you will:
- discuss marketing theories
- collect and analyse secondary (desktop) data and
- make recommendations based on the data.
