This unit introduces learners to the fundamental principles of marketing and explores how marketing activities contribute to achieving organisational objectives. Learners will study the marketing mix and examine the importance of branding, positioning, and customer relationships.
A significant focus of this unit is on customer engagement. Learners will investigate how businesses build relationships with customers, retain loyalty, and respond to changes in consumer behaviour. They will also consider how digital platforms and social media are reshaping the way organisations communicate with their audiences.
By completing this unit, learners will be able to apply marketing concepts in practical contexts, analyse the effectiveness of marketing strategies, and appreciate the value of customer-focused approaches.
