TASK 1 – BRIEFING PAPER

Recommended page count limit:
1 (a) – One side of A4 paper
1 (b) to 1 (c) – 3 sides of A4 paper

Guidance notes:

ORGANISATION SUMMARY GUIDELINES

Contents will contribute to the FIVE marks available in Part (a) of Task 1. The following headings must be included and information provided under

each should be sufficiently detailed:

  • Organisation name
  • Type of organisation, for example, profit or not-for-profit, local,

    national, global, and type of legal entity

  • Size of organisation in terms of turnover and/or number of employees
  • Range of products and services provided
  • Customer base, for example, B2B/B2C
  • Main competitors

    Other information relevant to the assignment may also be included, within the recommended page count limit, to assist the Examiner in understanding organisation.

This is an internal briefing paper, it is important that the content remains firmly focused on addressing the task set.

Task 1 (b): Candidates should discuss the two elements of the question (i.e. opportunities and challenges), both elements must be addressed. It is recommended to focus equally on each of these elements. Remember to ensure the content remains focused on the chosen organisation. Think broadly in terms of opportunities and challenges, including, for example, the use of new channels/techniques to enhance customer engagement (opportunity) and the potential challenges involved in using and co- ordinating digital hardware or activities.

Task 1(c): Candidates should assess how the dynamic digital environment has changed your organisation’s customer behaviour such as the speed and ease of searching or the power of customer reviews. This might be an expectation of shortened response/delivery times or enhanced service levels. To address these, candidates should consider the advancements in the digital environment and this will clearly depend on the chosen organisation, its customers and products/services. It could, for example, be because of increased competition or simply because of more/easier access to online tools.

TASK 2 – REPORT

Recommended page count limit: 4 sides of A4 paper

Guidance notes:

Remember to use a conventional report format for the answer to this Task. As with Task 1, ensure that you make use of wider reading sources, theory, models etc to support your answer.

Task 2 (a): Candidates are required to recommend THREE digital communications mix tools. ‘Recommend’ means that you must state why each tool is valid, i.e. it must be relevant to the chosen organisation and it must be credible in terms of driving customer engagement. So, within your answer, you are expected to provide justification for the tools you have chosen, which could include for example blogs, Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) email campaigns.

Task 2 (b): Candidates need to discuss the implications for the organisation, in respect of its deployment of the extended marketing mix (7Ps), of using digital marketing communications tools. For example, you may need to consider how the use of digital communications tools might be used to support other marketing mix activities, e.g. the impact on pricing or processes.

Task 2 (c): Candidates are required to explain FOUR advantages for your chosen organisation of using a multichannel marketing approach. This will of course, depend on the type of organisation, its customers and products. Remember that the focus of the answer should be on the uses of multichannel marketing in enhancing customer engagement.
