Assessment instructions Choose one case study from either the selection provided by your lecturer or propose another which will need to be approved by your lecturer, then conduct further research and analyse an integrated marketing communications campaign applying the theories and concepts from the unit. Each case study includes a detailed profile of a client such as business context,
business model, marketing communication channels, and a plan to develop a new product targeting a new type of consumers, etc.
Based on the learning contents from the first 4 weeks, students are required to present a brief market analysis (approximately 1000 words +/- 10%, 1-2 pages) including the following points:
– analyse the market that your ‘client’ is facing (e.g. current market situation and evolution, growth opportunities and threats, distribution channels, etc.)
– identify the competition (e.g. main competitors, their positioning and target markets, etc.)
– understand the consumers (e.g. who are current key consumers, what are their preferences, are they satisfied with the products of the client, are there any new consumer trends, what are the main trends for this type of consumer, etc.)
The Case Study analysis needs to match the following:
• 1000 words +/- 10% excluding cover sheet and references
• Follow short report formatting • Minimum of 6 resources, 3 from academic resources at minimum.
NOTE: The chosen case study will be used in Assessment 2.
