EVENT SITUATION
You are to assume the role of marketing specialist for TOUCH TECHNOLOGY, a media technology
company that produces mobile phones. The CEO (judge) has asked you to develop a marketing plan
for an existing product.
TOUCH TECHNOLOGY is a respected leader in media technology. In hopes of increasing the company’s
market share in the competitive industry, the company would like to increase marketing plans for their
smart phone, the Aviator. The Aviator was the first smart phone ever produced. It was introduced to
the public over a decade ago, long before the competition launched similar models. While the Aviator
can still claim superior technology as a product, its competition enjoys a higher market share,
universal popularity and a “coolness factor” the handheld Aviator cannot seem to match. A recent
study showed that only 2% of consumers purchasing smart phones in the future would choose the
Aviator.
Competitors’ smart phones offer more than 100,000 applications compared to only 400 for the
Aviator. Consumer feedback indicated that the Aviator’s e-mail system is difficult to use and not
always dependable. The Aviator is only available in the standard black or silver color options, which
many feel are outdated.
The CEO (judge) has asked for you to develop a marketing plan specifically for the Aviator that will
help gain a larger market share in the smart phone industry. In developing your plan, the CEO (judge)
wants a prioritized list of changes that need to be made to the Aviator to support the success of the
marketing strategies.
You will present the marketing plan to the CEO (judge) in a role-play to take place in the CEO’s
(judge’s) office. The CEO (judge) will begin the role-play by greeting you and asking to hear your
ideas. After you have presented the marketing plan and have answered the CEO’s (judge’s)
questions, the CEO (judge) will conclude the role-play by thanking you for your work.

CASE STUDY SITUATION
You are to assume the roles of employees in the marketing department of COASTAL
AIRWAYS, a mid-size airline company. The airline’s general manager (judge) has asked
you to prepare a marketing plan.
COASTAL AIRWAYS, a family-owned airline, has been in business for 15 years. The
company specializes in flying to small cities along the coast where most major airlines
don’t fly. The airline has a fleet of 75 planes ranging from small prop planes up to its
biggest plane, a DC-9. The average daily passenger load is 1,500. The majority of
customers are vacationers, but business professionals are the fastest-growing segment.
While your traditional target market has been people looking for a good value for vacation
travel, both business travelers and those traveling for personal reasons have given the
airline high marks in customer satisfaction—COASTAL AIRWAYS has been one of the
highest-rated airlines for the past 10 years. COASTAL AIRWAYS is known for providing nofrills, on-time travel at a reasonable price. With its growth over the past several years,
COASTAL even offers a better selection of travel times to several destinations than those
of the major airlines.
Recent world events have put the travel industry as a whole into a downward spiral.
Many airline companies are operating fewer flights, and in some case even discontinuing
service on less-profitable routes, because they cannot get their flights filled. Because of
its slow growth over the years and its specific niche in the market, COASTAL AIRWAYS isn’t
feeling that squeeze yet. In fact, management has decided to add new daily flights for
their busiest routes, with the option to add even more, to accommodate the additional
demand of business travelers. COASTAL AIRWAYS is essentially filling the voids left by
airlines who have reduced their number of flights in anticipation of an increase in demand
back to previous levels, or even higher.
Name:
Marketing
COASTAL AIRWAYS is confident that it will remain a first choice for people traveling for
personal reasons, vacation or otherwise. It is just a matter of time, as people become
more comfortable again with air travel, before personal travel returns to previous levels.
Still, the largest area of growth opportunity is business travelers.
You know several characteristics of the average business traveler—business travelers
are more cost conscious than in the past, they look for convenience in travel schedules,
and they tend to be more brand loyal than personal travelers. The airline’s general
manager (judge) wants you to create a plan to attract the business travel market, while
at the same time maintaining the airline’s strong appeal to personal travelers. The plan
should include advertising and promotional strategies, as well as services offered to
customers.
You will present your marketing plan to the general manager (judge) in a meeting in
the office conference room. The general manager (judge) will begin the meeting by
greeting you and asking to hear your ideas. After you have presented your plan and
have answered the general manager’s (judge’s) questions, the general manager
(judge) will conclude the meeting by thanking you for your efforts.

CASE STUDY SITUATION
You are to assume the roles of marketing managers for the SOUTH CITY STARS, a professional soccer
team. The owner of the SOUTH CITY STARS (judge) has asked you to develop a marketing strategy
and slogan to reach a target market.
Soccer spectators are actually consumers purchasing a service—the soccer game. The ultimate
business goal for a soccer team is to sell the maximum number of tickets, and other related sporting
items, to maximize profits. To continue to exist, a successful soccer franchise must make a profit for
investors, owners and sponsors. The oil that keeps the franchise running smoothly is the fans, who
provide most of the revenue. Soccer franchises, sponsors and advertisers are all dependent on the
goodwill of a team’s fans.
The owner (judge) believes that a largely ignored group of fans is the women who compose 30
percent of the team’s market. Research shows that today’s female consumers have more
purchasing power than ever, but traditional methods of marketing to stereotypes are failing. The
market research that you already conducted indicates that the SOUTH CITY STARS’ core market can
be described as follows:





18–34 years old
70% male; 30% female
technologically savvy
values innovation and emerging technologies
highly mobile
The owner (judge) has asked your team to develop a marketing strategy and slogan that will
effectively reach the team’s female fans. In an era where sponsorship revenues are decreasing and
television rights fees are also shrinking, your plan should include innovative media and
technologies, not just television.
You will present your strategy and slogan to the owner (judge) in a meeting to take place in the
conference room of the team’s headquarters. The owner (judge) will begin the meeting by greeting
you and asking to hear your ideas. After you have presented your strategies and slogan and have
answered the owner’s (judge’s) questions, the owner (judge) will conclude the meeting by thanking
you for your work.
