The Brief
You are required to work in your groups to research and develop appropriate marketing strategies for growth of a brand. The project has 3 phases:
- Select your Brand
Your first task as a group is to select your brand. This will be the outcome of the individual pitch proposal process. You will evaluate each other’s proposals and select the most compelling case to work on together in this group project. How you choose to do this is up to you as a team, however you will receive guidance from your tutor in the evaluation process.
- Research and Strategy Development
You will undertake market research on your brand amongst its target consumers to inform your marketing strategy decisions. You are aiming to discover some key insights about the target consumers’ buying behaviour and their relationship with your brand. You will design a research study, carry out the research and analyse your findings.
You will then develop appropriate marketing strategies that can be clearly justified by your research findings. You should consider all aspects of the marketing framework(s) when developing your strategies, all of which when combined underpin your programme for brand growth.
