*********************************************************This assignment is based on the Sof-A-Logue scenario linked above.*********************************************************

Managing a Marketing Project

When a company focuses on organic growth to build its revenues, scanning the competitive landscape is important to develop unique points of differentiation that make the product stand out. Understanding a company’s competition also helps the marketer shape the value proposition, or the reason why the target market should buy the product or service. In other words, why should a consumer buy your product?

You decide to meet with you marketing team to start brainstorming ideas for Sof-A-Logue.com. Your team includes 3 branding managers, responsible for specific product lines; 2 graphic artists; 2 copywriters; 1 Web site developer; 1 market research analyst; and 1 advertising manager.

The First Meeting

To prepare for the meeting, it is important to introduce the new project to the team. The timeline to introduce the strategic marketing plan to the executive committee is short. Your team needs to research the market, the competition, and other background information to develop the strategy that will be presented to upper management.

Because some of the team members may be unfamiliar with basic marketing concepts, you will design a brief e-handout that can outline points of discussion for the meeting. The e-handout will define some basic marketing concepts as well as how you will apply them to Sof-A-Logue.com’s situation.

Part 1: Research for the E-Handout

Using company Web sites and articles from the library’s full-text databases, research the current national marketing strategies of 2 like-sized competitors in Sof-A-Logue’s industry.

Part 2: Applying the Research

This section of the paper should be 4 pages in length and use research from the library’s full-text databases and the company’s Web site.

Your assignment should contain a cover page, an abstract page, and a reference page, in addition to the body paragraphs.
