You should consider the following:
The concept and importance of marketing: what resources are/were invested in marketing by your chosen organisation?The internal, macro and micro-environments of the organisation: How have these influenced marketing strategy?Target market(s): Who is the main audience for the organisation; why/how was this decided; what material is
used to capture the target market (use examples); is this effective? Consider market segmentation, targeting, differentiation and positioning, and the marketing mix.Selection of media: What are the key channels/methods of communication used for marketing (social media/networking/email/search engine optimisation, etc….); are these
appropriate/effective; why/why not?Measuring success: How is the effectiveness of campaigns assessed; what are the measurement metrics? If the marketing strategy is ineffective, how do they control marketing following this?
