Scenario
Kotler describes marketing as ‘the process by which companies create value for customers and build strong relationships in order to capture value from customers in return.’ To do this successfully, firms need to embrace a culture of market orientation and put the customer at the forefront of everything they do. Communication of the marketing strategy and plan across the organisation plays a vital part in making this happen.
