This semester I will have you to contribute to a course group – [|MR2100 Marketing Facebook Group]

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">The concept is relatively simple. Here’s what you need to do. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1) We will set up a Class Facebook Group <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2) You task, is twofold. First, you are to scan your online world on a regular basis and repost what you think is relevant to our course to the page – I expect that you to write a breif explaination of less than 50 words with each post that explains its relevance. You should do at least a post once a week for the life of the course – and beyound if you wish. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3) Second, you (or a group of you) need to post at least Five (5) original pieces of content that includes at least one selection of Pictures, Video and Audio. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Comments from peers, and from outsiders is welcome and there will be awards (the FaceOFF awards) at the end of the course.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I will hand out more information on this later this week.

The Midterm exams will be an invigilated 2 hour exam. The Midterm will consist of 40% Multiple Choice/True False questions and 60% Essay questions that will cover the material indicated and test your ability to apply what you have learned in the course. Weeks 4 and 11


 * Marketing Project or Case Analysis @ 15%**

You have a choice of doing a **special project** of doing a Case. Groups will be formed in the FOURTH week of the semester and will consist of no more than 4 members. Your group will take on the role of a marketing consultant and analyse the case and present an overview and their analysis to me. Cases may be selected from the list provided below. Please let me know of your case choice by week 4. A Presentation paper will be due at the end of the course.

Special Project: You can select a company/organization and work with them to develop marketing material. The deliverable is the marketing material that you build.

Case:

Case choices will be:

• Brand Manitoba p302

• Washburn International p354

• West Edmonton Mall p420

• AdFarm p476

Put yourself in the shoes of a consultant who has been selected by the company in question. Your Case analysis must include the following key points:

1) Case Name and location

2) Detailed overview of case

3) Define the problem/opportunity to be addressed

4) Conduct a thorough environmental analysis for the business/industry

5) Describe possible solutions to the problem/opportunity and in doing so apply the theory that you have learned in the course. Outline the pros and cons of each solution

6) Select the best solution and explain why you chose that one

7) Detail an implementation plan for the solution

8) Explain how the solution plans implementation it will be monitored. What I want to see: 1) A professional group presentation

2) A formal written report outlining the above steps

3) A demonstration that you’re applying what you have learned to the analytical process outlined above. Each group member will have an opportunity to confidentially review his/her contribution and his/her fellow group member’s contribution to the project. This will affect the mark received by each individual on the project.
