MKT 498 Week 2 Practice: Learning Team: MKT/498 Team Project Plan

Overview

In this course, your team will work together on the Week 4 assignment, “Advertising Design and Promotion.” This assignment will help you apply your project management skills to understanding the scope of your project, then breaking the project into goals, tasks, responsibilities, resources, and milestones. The assignment also asks you to discuss and answer some questions that will lay the foundation for developing your project.

Beyond the Standard Charter

You will notice that this charter process goes beyond your standard University of Phoenix Charter by helping your team create a project plan for team success by providing you with opportunities to define your deliverables, recognize the connections between the deliverables and other classroom activities, determine your timelines and milestones, identify each team member’s expected contribution, and answer questions that lay the foundation for building your projects.

Putting “I” in “Team”

It is important to note the section on defining Learning Team expectations related to participation, collaboration, communication, team contributions, assignment deadlines, and other considerations. Please take the time to discuss and document how your team will address each area and any challenges that may arise. It is important to understand that we are “Putting ‘I’ in Team’.” In short, we will recognize and reward individuals according to their contributions to team output, not according to their team membership. This means that individual grades may be different from the team grade depending on each individual’s contribution to each team deliverable.

Completing this Assignment

To complete this assignment, do the following:

• Review the Charter and Project plan.
• Review the weekly Learning Team deliverables.

MKT 498 Week 5 Apply: Signature Assignment: Evaluating Marketing Practices

This assignment is designed to align with specific program student learning outcome(s) in your program. Program Student Learning Outcomes are broad statements that describe what students should know and be able to do upon completion of their degree. Signature/Benchmark Assignments are graded with a grading guide or an automated rubric that allows the University to collect data that can be aggregated across a location or college/school and used for course/program improvements.

Read the following scenario:

You have just been promoted to the Lead Marketing Director position within an advertising company. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is currently investigating one of your advertising campaigns for “Mike’s Meatless Burger” which has been accused of using deceptive marketing practices due to the unsubstantiated claim of being “the tastiest meatless burger in the world.” In addition, the independent taste testers used to validate this claim have been found to consist largely of paid company employees. Your task is to: 1) replace this slogan with something that can be more easily substantiated, 2) develop a new IMC that focuses primarily on younger consumers in an online environment, and 3) establish evaluation metrics that can be used both to validate and demonstrate the effectiveness of your advertising campaign.

Write a 1,050- to 1,400-page paper in which you include the following:

• Summarize the issues presented in the scenario.
• Determine whether the claim should be considered deception or puffery, and provide justification for your answer.
• Determine whether or not the advertising practices should be considered unethical, and provide justification for your answer.
• Develop a new slogan for the advertising campaign, and explain why you think this new slogan will be more effective and easier to substantiate.
• Select three or more digital marketing or social media tools around which to build your new advertising campaign, and explain why you believe these tools will provide you with a competitive advantage for your particular market.
• Determine metrics for evaluating the effectiveness of each tool in reaching its intended target market, with a focus on the value each tool provides to both the consumer and the business.
• Discuss two marketing communications, regulations, and standards with which the company must comply in order to use the digital communications you have presented.

Format your presentation consistent with APA guidelines.
