Demonstrate a good understanding of a typical marketing problem, through a clear identification of the problem and careful analysis 2. Application of marketing concepts associated with the marketing mix, branding and communications 3. Provision of implementation steps that are sufficiently clear and detailed for effective execution (- would your plan work?) 4. Presentation of your work in clear, compelling and relevant documents The Course Project The course project will involve you in developing an integrated marketing communications (IMC) plan for a brand of your choice.
