Scenario

For the purposes of this Module Project, consider that you have been assigned as an external marketing consultant to a well-known organisation. Part of this submission calls for providing details of this firm and its activities. This organisation is engaged in international business, with markets in a number of locations worldwide.

The organisation is forward thinking and appreciates that in order to survive and grow, it must develop new markets, new products and, of particular relevance to you in your position as a marketing consultant, new ways of engaging with and marketing to its customers (both present and potential). Moreover, its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) believes that all businesses should consider not only the commercial outcome of their activities, but should also have a positive and sustaining impact on the communities in which they operate.

The Module Project is split into three submissions due in Weeks 2, 5 and 7. In this Week 2 submission, as the external marketing consulting, you will provide the background for your idea as to what you believe will be the demands of customers in the future and the challenges these demands might create for the organisation’s marketing efforts, highlighting the rationale for your idea’s implementation.
