Marketing Essentials
Introduction
This unit is designed to introduce students to the principles of marketing, enabling them to
develop a basic marketing plan and to employ elements of the marketing mix to achieve results.
While they will learn the underpinning theories and frameworks, they will also be able to relate
these to real world examples, including products/services that they encounter in their own
daily lives. Organizations such as Apple, Google, VISA, Burberry, Coca-Cola, UNICEF, BP and
small local businesses all have at least one thing in common: they all use marketing to influence
us to engage with their products and or services. Whether it is becoming a loyal customer
buying a product and service or donating to a charity, organizations use a range of marketing
techniques and tools to inform and influence us.
The knowledge, understanding and skill sets that students will gain on successfully completing
this unit will enhance their career opportunities; whether setting up their own business or
being employed by an organization.
