| Description | An essential practice in marketing is assessing the impact of marketing strategies on business performance. Increasingly, companies are recognising marketing as a strategic board-level function, directly responsible for wealth creation. Marketers should be equipped with tools to analyse and effectively communicate the value of marketing, using the evidence of marketing metrics underpinning business performance. This unit introduces students to marketing metrics that are responsible for commercial success. Key measures are explained and applied to a wide range of business examples, using a case study approach. This course provides an overview of marketing metrics and how they relate to business performance, providing students with the opportunity to apply these key concepts to practical business situations. |
