Overview

Marketing Introduction

Nothing has greater influence on the success or otherwise of any organisation than marketing. Quite simply, the effectiveness of a brand’s marketing strategy will make or break the business as a whole. Strong and influential marketing can make extraordinary success stories of the humblest and most modest of start-ups. Marketing exists to paint a positive and authoritative picture of both your business and the products/services you offer. It also ensures that your target audience knows you exist in the first place. As one of the most critically important elements at the heart of every successful business, demand for skilled marketers on a global basis has never been higher.

This outstanding tutorial has been designed for business owners, managers and anyone working in marketing at any level. Study a broad overview of the contemporary marketing profession, along with a detailed breakdown of the marketing mix and the differences between selling and marketing. Learn the true value and importance of marketing as a whole and find out which kinds of careers are available as a marketer.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
