Description


This course will equip you with a good understanding of the 4 most common strategies followed by large consumer brands (FMCG/CPG) and how they differ in execution. If you are looking for detailed academic theory then this course is definitely not for you

In this course we will cover the following

1. What is a Marketing Strategy? A very brief but simple definition

2. The 4 practical marketing strategies used by most consumer brands

3. What are the 13 different Execution variables which differentiate these 4 strategies

4. How do the execution variables change for each of the four strategies (Because it is all nice and well to state the strategy, but what do you do or how do you behave differently)
