WHAT IS MARKETING?
So, what is marketing? The national American Marketing Association defines marketing as “the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large.”
Marketing comes in all shapes and sizes, and is becoming an increasingly essential function for a successful business. From defining pricing structure to optimize sales to conducting market research to understand your customers’ needs to producing and airing TV advertisements during the Super Bowl, marketing professionals across the globe are making huge impacts on businesses and society.
