MKT101 - Group Assignment
MKT101 - Group Assignment
This assessment has two parts: Part A is a group report and Part B is group presentation
How to Start
- Choose a company, please make sure that the company/ organisation* is different from
other groups.
*It is highly recommended that you contact a real (small) company/ organisation who needs a
marketing campaign. They can provide you practical issues, necessary data of the market and
real-life experiences, which will help you build a better and more practical plan.
- Mapping the current environment conditions, which include macro and micro-
environment, and analyzing its influence on the marketing strategy of your company/
business
- Identifying, analysing and evaluating the target market and positioning of the business
- Analysing and evaluating the effectiveness of the marketing mix
- Suggesting the marketing plan for your company/ business. Please note that you don’t
need to provide a detailed plan of key activities, expected revenue and budget in the
marketing plan, but general phases in the plan will be enough.
Structure
The marketing analysis report should include (but not limited to) these following components:
Format
The report must be presented and complied with:
- Font: Times New Roman, 11-point font, double-spaced.
- Word count: 3000 words (+/-10%) (maximum of 10 pages), excluding references and
appendices
- Report cover must include course name and code (MARKETING PRINCIPLES –
MKT101), title of the report, information of group and students (name, ID).
Part B: Presentation
As a group, you will deliver a presentation of Part A. Teams are required to allocate roles and
ensure effective time management and flow of content. Students will be assessed on their ability
to deliver a maximum 20-minute presentation in an engaging, timely, and professional manner.
The group will have 10 minutes to field questions from the audience.
Overview
Communicating your message - This assessment task is about delivering engaging presentation.
Your verbal and non-verbal delivery is just as important as the content that you provide.
Verbal communication – is about how you project your voice (speaking clearly and confidently),
how quickly you speak and how you pronounce and engage your audience with words. If you are
reading out your part, you will find it very difficult to engage the audience. Instead,
communicate through lively examples, stories, interesting facts/quotes, etc (i.e., make use of
rhetorical strategies).
Non-verbal communication: Body language – are you enthusiastic and confident? You will need
to make your audience feel comfortable and you can do this by making eye contact & addressing
the audience with positive body language.
Visuals – You may use electronic aids such as PowerPoint, Prezi or other presentation programs
to support your visual delivery. However, please refrain from text-heavy slides - be creative in
their design. Ensure that during delivery, the slides of team members and transitions are coherent
and flow in a logical manner.
