What you'll learn:

Why does Anheuser-Busch pay millions of dollars for a 30-second television ad during the Super Bowl? Why does Verizon Wireless put its name on concert venues and amphitheaters around the country? Think about these examples and how appropriate the strategy is to the target market: Football and beer are a natural fit. Who goes to concerts? The same people who have the heaviest cellular phone usage—teenagers and young adults.

We call this the “marketing mix,” and in this course you will explore how companies determine the right amount of mix that, although maybe costly, support a marketing strategy that will give them the highest return on their marketing dollars and reach their target customers most effectively.
