Content

Marketing is the most dynamic area of business and the glue that holds organisations together – it connects organisations with the world, and opens up new and exciting job opportunities. Marketing is the only discipline that generates revenue for organisations by creating value for consumers, while capturing value for the organisation through building relationships with customers. MMK101 focuses on the creativity involved in the marketing process, ranging from understanding consumer needs to designing customer-driven integrated marketing strategies using the marketing mix. If you are creative, strategic and a critical thinker, then marketing is for you!
