Assignment Marketing Portfolio
You are required to collect a portfolio of evidence from the world around you that represents marketing objectives, strategies and tactics. You must seek current information (i.e. 2017 and 2018) and examples from contemporary sources such as newspapers, magazines, websites and social media (e.g. consumer blogs, YouTube).
The evidence you submit must relate to the following six topics:
Market Research and its use in a marketing plan
Who are the competition for your favourite product?
PESTL and how this affects the introduction of a new product or service
SWOT Analysis and its use in the marketing plan
Segmentation, targeting and positioning in marketing: Current trends in an industry of your choice.
Marketing and Society, Marketing Ethics: Sourcing a problem with marketing ethics and apply an ethical marketing approach.
You must write a 300 word critique for each of the 6 topics given (total 1,800 words). The critique should consider how each piece of evidence you have collected:
demonstrates your understanding of marketing theory and practice.
considers the internal and external factors influencing an organisation’s marketing strategies.
explains and analyses marketing objectives and strategies.
For each of the six examples listed above, students need to show how they fit theoretical frameworks or models presented in the textbook. This means that you will specify the exact theory/framework/model that is being applied from the textbook, listing the heading from the book and the page number where the theory/framework/model is found.
Penalties: No extensions will be granted. Students who have an approved Special Consideration application will be granted consideration.
Please ensure you submit your soft copy to the correct Turnitin link before 9 am, Monday Week 9.
Late submissions or those submitted incorrectly in Turnitin will receive a deduction of 20% (or 6 marks) per day. For example, assignments received from 9.01am Monday but before 9am Tuesday will lose 20% (or 6 marks) of their total assignment mark. Those received from 9.01am Tuesday but before 9am Wednesday will lose 40% (or 12 marks) of their total assignment mark. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the marketing portfolio assignment has been successfully submitted to Turnitin on time, with satisfactory results from the Turnitin originality assessment.
You should not exceed the 1,800 word limit (this limit does not include tables, figure, the reference list, title page and any appendices). Exceeding the limit by an appreciable amount (i.e. > 10%) may lead to a deduction of 2 marks.

FORMAT FOR ALL ASSIGNMENTS
The assignments are to be done in Microsoft Word with Times New Roman 12- point font. Each assignment should use the modified APA 6th edition format. The assignment templates are set up in this modified format. The reference page should be in the APA format for every reference. The word requirement for the assignments are specifically stated in the guidelines of the assignment. The word count is from the first word of the introductory paragraph to the last word of the conclusion paragraph. FYI.
REFERENCE REQUIREMENTS
1- There should be a cited reference for each section of a paper as there are conclusion statements in each section (to meet the grading criteria) so the conclusion should be supported by a reference as the assignments are evidence-based research, clinical papers.
2- Word Count- The word count is done from the first word of the introductory paragraph to the last word of the conclusion. The word count must be within the minimum and maximum word limit stated in the assignment instructions. A 10% – point reduction will be made in the total points for the assignment.

Weeks 2 and 3 need to have at least THREE studies in the form of research studies. Please make sure that you look at the instructions for the assignment as well as the grading rubric. I have also provided templates for ALL assignments. It is in your best interest to use these as it will guide you so that you do not make common formatting errors.
