Advanced Marketing
1. Marketing Recap.:
1. Marketing:
1.1. Conceptualization:
Marketing is... ‘the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating,
delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and
society at large’.
Marketing is... ‘the management process of anticipating, identifying and satisfying customer
requirements profitably’.
Marketing as an exchange:
à a two-way (dyadic) process (non-profit, B2C vs. B2B marketing)
Marketing = products?
à No, for example Trump campaign.
Marketing = sales?
à No, the aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well, the
product of service fits him and sells itself (relational vs. transactional marketing, goods
vs. service-dominant logic).

,Marketing = advertising?
à No, Advertising is only a tool in Marketing:
Marketing = only “for” profit?
à Marketing is readily used by local governments, churches, museums, charities,
universities, political parties, zoos, and public hospitals (all of which operate without
profit as central goal).
à Beyond profit as a central objective
E.g., generating awareness, acquiring volunteers, informing people, collect funding,
lobby for changes in legislation and policy, ...
Marketing’s customer is not necessarily also consumer! (push vs. pull marketing)

“Brand Marketing Through the Coronavirus Crisis”
1. Present with empathy and humility (e.g., Guinness St. Patrick’s Day: from pub
gatherings to a message of longevity and wellbeing)
2. Use media in more agile ways (e.g., Nike ‘Play inside, play for the world’)
3. Associate your brand with good (e.g., with true heart and generosity – from alcohol
to hand sanitizers, donations, continuing to pay employees while the company’s doors
are closed)
4. Track trends and build scenarios
