The ability to effectively develop the elements of a marketing plan is a critical success factor for marketing professionals, business managers, and entrepreneurs. AMA is proud to introduce—and the MN AMA is proud to host—the Marketing Planning Boot Camp^TM, a new professional development opportunity that will give you the foundation to create a dynamic marketing plan of your own. During the program you will work with peers in a small group setting under close supervision of an expert in marketing plan development. Each group will create a marketing plan for the case study company specified at the beginning of the session.

What You’ll Learn

1. Why a marketing plan must effectively fit in with the overall business planning process and how to ensure it does so
2. What constitutes an effective marketing plan
3. How to effectively create and apply a situation and competitor analysis; marketing objectives, action plans; market segmentation, target marketing, positioning, and marketing mix strategy approaches; and appropriate metrics to monitor plan success
4. How to articulate an executive report of the marketing plan orally and written

At the close of the Marketing Planning Boot Camp^TM you will have a complete example of a marketing plan, along with resources that you can use as a process guide when you develop a marketing plan in your own work setting!
