Your report must include each of the following sections:

  1. Executive Summary
  2. Marketing Audit: This is an analysis of the organisation’s external and internal marketing environment and should involve 1) a review of financial and market performance during the past year, and 2) an assessment of the current situation and the market that includes customers, competition, marketing division’s strengths and weaknesses and major problems/opportunities to be dealt with in the next year.
  3. Objectives and Strategy: Set objectives for the next year with relevant strategy using appropriate models. This should explain what it will take to get ahead or stay ahead in the next year.
  4. Segmentation, Targeting and Positioning: Conduct an analysis of your segmentation and targeting strategy. Identify which market segment(s) are being targeted and the type of targeting strategy being used. Present an analysis of the competitive market positioning of any one of the organisation’s products/brands.
  5. Operational Marketing Plan: Develop and outline a marketing plan for your organisation in the next year. All elements of the marketing mix should be addressed.
  6. Marketing Performance Analysis: Assess the profitability of your business in the next year.

Reports must be a maximum of 2,500 words (excluding appendices and executive summary), be written in professional business English and include a title page, an executive summary, a contents page, numbered sections and page numbers. Tables and figures must be presented in the main body of the report and not in appendices, and must be clearly labelled with the source identified (if not created by you).
