Marketing management covers how organisations plan, implement and control marketing activities to create value for customers and achieve business goals. Modules typically move from analysing the marketing environment and customers to segmentation, targeting and positioning, then to marketing mix decisions on product, price, place and promotion, and finally to planning, implementation and measuring marketing performance.
| Stage | Key frameworks |
|---|---|
| Analysis | PESTLE, SWOT, Porter's five forces, customer research |
| Strategy | Segmentation, targeting, positioning, Ansoff matrix |
| Product | Product levels, product life cycle, BCG matrix |
| Price | Cost-based, value-based and competitive pricing |
| Place and promotion | Channels, integrated marketing communications |
| Control | KPIs, marketing ROI, customer lifetime value |
This map lists the core marketing management topics, the point where students most often get stuck, and how a tutor helps you past it.
| Topic | Where students get stuck | How a tutor helps |
|---|---|---|
| Marketing environment | Generic PESTLE and SWOT | Sourced, industry-specific analysis |
| STP | Segments that are not measurable | Clear variables and evidence |
| Marketing mix | 7Ps that do not fit the positioning | Link every P to the target segment |
| Branding | Applying brand equity models | Keller or Aaker applied to the case |
| Pricing | Choosing a pricing strategy | Compare cost-plus, value-based and competitive pricing |
| Communications | Integrated marketing communications | Channel plans linked to objectives |
| Marketing plans | SMART objectives and KPIs | SOSTAC or similar, with measurable targets |
| Services and relationships | Service quality and retention | Apply SERVQUAL and CLV ideas |
Unit 2 Marketing Essentials in the Pearson BTEC Higher National in Business asks you to explain marketing's role and links with other functions, compare how organisations use the 7Ps to meet their objectives, and develop and evaluate a basic marketing plan for a real organisation.
| Learning outcome | What it asks you to do |
|---|---|
| LO1 | Explain the role of marketing and how it interrelates with other functional units of an organisation |
| LO2 | Compare how organisations use the 7Ps to achieve business objectives |
| LO3 | Develop and evaluate a basic marketing plan |
Follow-on units include Unit 23 Integrated Marketing Communications and Unit 40 International Marketing. Tutors explain each criterion and give feedback on your draft.
Professional qualifications are set by the Chartered Institute of Marketing, and the HND specification is published by Pearson Qualifications.
Choose frameworks by the question: PESTLE, Porter's five forces and SWOT then TOWS for a marketing audit; STP for targeting; Ansoff for growth; the BCG matrix for portfolios; the 7Ps for the mix; SOSTAC for planning; SMART for objectives; Keller's pyramid for brand equity; RACE for digital funnels; and McKinsey 7S for internal fit.
| Question | Framework |
|---|---|
| What is happening in our market? | PESTLE, Porter's five forces |
| Where do we stand? | SWOT, then TOWS to create options |
| Who should we serve? | Segmentation, targeting, positioning |
| How should we grow? | Ansoff matrix |
| Which products to invest in? | BCG matrix, product life cycle |
| What should the offer look like? | 7Ps |
| How do we plan it? | SOSTAC with SMART objectives |
| How strong is the brand? | Keller's CBBE pyramid |
| How do we plan digital activity? | RACE, See-Think-Do-Care |
| Is the organisation aligned? | McKinsey 7S |
Apply STP by first dividing the market into segments using demographic, geographic, psychographic or behavioural variables, then evaluating each segment's size, growth, profitability and fit to choose a target, and finally positioning the brand with a clear, distinctive value proposition, often shown on a perceptual map against competitors.
| Step | Key question | Tool |
|---|---|---|
| Segmentation | How can the market be divided? | Segmentation variables |
| Targeting | Which segments should we serve? | Segment attractiveness analysis |
| Positioning | How do we want to be perceived? | Positioning statement, perceptual map |
An illustrative budget gym chain plans a new site near a university.
| Step | Decision | Evidence to support it |
|---|---|---|
| Segmentation | Students, young professionals and older local residents | Local population and student numbers |
| Targeting | Students: price-sensitive, flexible hours, near campus | Survey of local students and competitor prices |
| Positioning | Low-cost, open late, no long contracts | Perceptual map against nearby gyms |
| Marketing mix | Student pricing, campus promotions, app-based joining | Each P linked to the target segment |
Tie each decision back to evidence; markers reward segments that are measurable, reachable and profitable.
An illustrative product costs £40 to make and sell. The firm uses a 25% mark-up.
| Step | Working | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Price | £40 × 1.25 | £50 |
| Profit per unit | £50 − £40 | £10 |
| Mark-up (on cost) | £10 ÷ £40 | 25% |
| Margin (on price) | £10 ÷ £50 | 20% |
Cost-plus pricing is simple but ignores demand and competitors, so evaluate it against value-based and competitive pricing in your answer.
A marketing plan sets out where the brand is now, where it wants to go and how it will get there. Include a situation analysis, SMART marketing objectives, target market and positioning, the marketing mix for each element, a budget and timeline, and the metrics you will use to monitor performance. Many courses use the SOSTAC structure.
Tutors help you base each recommendation on your analysis, set measurable objectives and present a realistic, well-justified plan.
The 7Ps extend the original 4Ps of product, price, place and promotion with three elements that matter especially for services: people, the staff who deliver the service; process, the systems and procedures customers experience; and physical evidence, the tangible cues such as premises and websites. Together they describe the decisions marketers control.
Tutors help you analyse a brand's current mix and recommend changes that fit its positioning and target market.
A marketing plan should include KPIs that link directly to its objectives, such as customer acquisition cost, customer lifetime value, return on marketing investment, conversion rate, market share and Net Promoter Score. Define each KPI, explain how it will be measured and say how often it will be reviewed.
| KPI | Definition |
|---|---|
| Customer acquisition cost (CAC) | Marketing and sales spend divided by new customers gained |
| Customer lifetime value (CLV) | Expected profit from a customer over the relationship |
| ROI / ROMI | Profit generated by marketing relative to its cost |
| Conversion rate | Share of visitors or leads who take the desired action |
| Market share | The brand's sales as a share of total market sales |
| Net Promoter Score (NPS) | Share of promoters minus share of detractors |
UK marketing must follow the CAP Code enforced by the Advertising Standards Authority, consumer protection law, which since 6 April 2025 is set out in Part 4 of the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 (replacing the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008), UK GDPR and PECR for email and SMS marketing, and the CMA's Green Claims Code.
Tutors help you include a short legal and ethical compliance section in your marketing plan.
Official sources: the ASA's CAP Code and the ICO's UK GDPR guidance.
Services marketing deals with intangible, perishable offers where staff, processes and physical evidence shape quality, so the extended 7Ps and the services gap model, measured with SERVQUAL, are central. Relationship marketing focuses on keeping customers over time, using CRM data and moving customers up the loyalty ladder from prospects to advocates.
Tutors help you apply these models to service brands such as hotels, banks and airlines.
Marketing management connects many specialisms. Search engine optimisation and pay-per-click win search visibility; content, email, influencer and mobile marketing build and keep audiences; event, retail and e-commerce marketing drive sales; and ethical marketing considers wider impacts. Plans usually combine several of these channels under one strategy.
For detail, see digital marketing, advertising management, retail management and e-commerce management.
Marketing modules are assessed through marketing plans for real brands, marketing audit reports, campaign proposals with a pitch, CIM assignments or exams, case studies and reflective portfolios. Each format rewards evidence-based analysis and clear links between objectives, strategy, tactics and measurement.
| Format | What scores well |
|---|---|
| Marketing plan for a real brand | Audit, SMART objectives, justified strategy, budget, KPIs |
| Marketing audit report | Current evidence, TOWS-based conclusions |
| Campaign proposal and pitch | Clear target, message and measurable outcomes |
| CIM assignment or exam | Assessment criteria met with organisation-specific examples |
| Case study | Frameworks applied critically to the case |
| Reflective portfolio | Critical reflection linked to theory |
UK markers award 70 and above to marketing plans that move logically from audit to objectives, strategy, tactics, budget and control, tie every tactic to an objective and a KPI, use market data as evidence and justify each choice. Plans lose marks for SWOT lists without TOWS, using only the 4Ps for a service brand and missing budgets or metrics.
| Higher-mark plan | Common mark-losers |
|---|---|
| Audit leads to SMART objectives | Objectives not linked to analysis |
| Every tactic tied to a KPI | Activities with no measurement |
| Market data as evidence | Unsupported claims |
| 7Ps for services | 4Ps only for a service brand |
| Budget and control plan | No budget or metrics |
Most lost marks come from plans that are not connected from analysis to objectives to actions.
| Mark-loser | What to do instead |
|---|---|
| Objectives that are not SMART | Make each objective specific, measurable and time-bound |
| A mix that ignores the target segment | Design every P for the chosen segment |
| No budget or KPIs | Add a budget, timeline and KPIs for each objective |
| Generic competitor analysis | Compare named competitors on price and positioning |
| Unsourced claims | Use market reports and academic sources |
| No evaluation of the plan | Discuss risks and how you would measure success |
Marketing management students use analytics and planning tools.
| Tool | What it is used for |
|---|---|
| Google Analytics 4 | Website and campaign performance |
| Microsoft Excel | Budgets, KPIs and pricing calculations |
| Survey tools such as Qualtrics | Market research |
| Perceptual mapping templates | Positioning analysis |
| Library market research databases | Market and consumer reports |
