This module bridges the critical gap between brand activities and concrete business results. Learners will first explore the strategic imperative of alignment, using real-world examples like Patagonia to see how a unified strategy drives success, and cautionary tales like the Pepsi Kendall Jenner ad to know the cost of misalignment. They will then learn a practical framework for connecting marketing initiatives to objectives like market penetration and revenue growth. The module uses hands-on activities to build skills in analyzing and communicating the strategic value of brand decisions, culminating in a final project where learners conduct a strategic audit of a marketing campaign.
