Content scheduling

In Marketing 1, we have focused on developing our understanding of: What is marketing? the marketing process, strategic marketing management, and how to understand the marketplace and consumers. With this information, we can now dive into developing marketing strategies and tactics. More specifically, we look into customer-driven value strategies, starting from dividing marketing into customer groups (segmentation), choosing customer groups to serve (targeting), and creating and offering value to customers (differentiation and position). Upon finalizing customer-driven value strategies, we focus on tactical marketing tools, namely the four P’s or marketing mix, by which we (marketers) give life to the above-mentioned strategies.
