Overview

Marketing innovative products and services occurs in an ever-changing environment, and requires rapid decision making with incomplete information. These innovations are introduced at increasingly frequent intervals, and there are high mortality rates for products and services, and the businesses themselves.

Our course provides a practical, how-to guide for navigating these marketing challenges to bring innovative new products and services to market. With learning modules on product strategy, go-to-market strategies, and growth strategies, you will build your skills in understanding and applying the latest marketing strategies and tactics. We’ll explore how to develop an informed marketing plan that aligns with customer needs based on real market research.

Learn the latest strategies for customer discovery, interviews and focus groups, product design, product development, content marketing, social media marketing, and marketing campaign management. The course will provide a balance between conceptual discussions based on readings of concepts and practices, and applied, hands-on analysis with real projects.

Syllabus

Module 1: Product Strategy

We’ll begin with introducing why it’s important to build a business case for your innovation. Key topics will include business model, value propositions, customer profiles, value maps, product-market fit, and industry analysis.

Module 2: Go To Market Strategies

Once the product strategy is established, we’ll consider go-to-market strategies. This begins with setting your marketing objectives. We’ll discuss pricing strategies, channel strategies, positioning, and messaging strategies. We’ll also introduce the minimum viable product (MVP) experience.

Module 3: Growth Strategies

In our growth strategies segment, we’ll examine marketing optimization strategies. Creating and managing your social media marketing activities and search engine optimization (SEO) are key to this step. Branding and sales will also be explored.

Module 4: Next Steps

In the final segment, we’ll discuss why new ventures fail, and how effective marketing impacts the success of a venture. We’ll discuss what is means to make the decision to Pivot, Persevere, or Pass? We’ll also discuss types of pivots, and how these influence the ongoing success of companies.

    I was always interested in marketing, and I found this course to be very helpful. The lectures are both easy to understand and full of valuable information, which is most importantly presented in a way that makes the material/topic more interesting. All of the modules focus on various topics and examples that a person will benefit from if one plans to start his/her entrepreneurial journey. Taking this course was definitely a great decision, you get to learn more about how the modern day markets function and what a person/startup/company needs to be competitive and successful.
