Theme T2.3: Market, Competition, Consumption and Branding in CCIs

Within this theme, the relevance of developing effective competitive strategies in the CCI’s business context are discussed. Pertinent topics such as the definition of target markets, customer acquisition, and the communication of the business proposition as a means to set out a business’ competitive advantage in relation to competitors, are addressed. Students are also encouraged to discuss and reflect upon building a customer base and competition in the CCIs, along with its strengths and weaknesses, hence being able to outline specific and impactful marketing and sales strategies. An overview on brand management, based on tangible and intangible brand values, and on the application of branding strategies to the CCIs, boosted by emerging technologies and communication strategies such as storytelling, is offered. Special emphasis is placed on the potential of Digital Marketing in reaching a global marketplace in a more cost-effective and measurable way, in building two-way communication with the CCIs audiences, and in increasing brand awareness.
