This afternoon I was invited back to Swinburne to assist in the assessment of a student trade show event involving students studying the Certificate IV in Marketing and a Certificate IV in Business. Students were required to create a trade show exhibition to explore business to business marketing.
The assessment explored the first four elements of the marketing mix, specifically a product that students devised, the communication channels, pricing signals and distribution channels. Students explained their marketing approach, linking practical outcomes with core marketing theory.
As part of the proceedings I awarded several prizes to participants, including mentoring sessions through Syneka Marketing. We exist to re-define marketing and educating the next generation of marketers is how we help shape the future of the procession.
Congratulations to the students who participated in the expo and are nearing the completion of their assessments.
