  5. What is Marketing?

  6. Everybody is a Marketer: • Everybody promotesthemselves…. • Packages themselves ….. • Everybody has their price……

  7. I think might be better "Ogar’s Fire" & Always been Marketers I’m calling it HOT • Innate sense of exchange • 1,000’s of years… bartered & traded “branded” goods & services “The Dawn of Marketing”

  8. The Evolution of “Marketing” From: Specific Function… To: General Orientation….

  9. Classic Functional Definition All activities performed in between: The Point of Production & The Point of Consumption

  10. 1st Formal Definition ~1919 *Marketing and Merchandising by Ralph Butler & John Swinney, • Book distinguishes marketing from merchandising, • w/ marketing being something manufacturers do • & merchandising being the domain of jobbers; retailers. • Marketing defined as‘the manner in which the product is disposed of, the way in which it is distributed…, through various channels of trade.” 

  11. Marketing Defined -1935 - “The performance of business activities that direct the flow of goods & services from producers to consumers.”

  12. Marketing Defined-as a Process- 1985 "The process of planning & executing theconception, pricing, promotion & distributionofideas, goods & services tocreate exchange & satisfy individual & organizational objectives"

  15. The Latest Official AMA Definition (circa 2004)

  16. ..an organizational function & a set of processes • forcreating, communicating & delivering value to customers • & formanaging customer relationships in ways that benefit the organization & its stakeholders

  17. Why the changed focus? What happened between 1985 & 2004 that made the AMA change the definition of marketing?

  18. The AMA Rationale: “Technology & marketing been changing quite rapidly over last five to 10 years… Marketing should be customer-centric -- not brand-centric" • The 1985 definition was not encompassing enough. The new definition more clearly infuses the customer into marketing."

  19. Management Reorientation Focus on Consumer • Not product • Long –Term Relationships • Not Short-term Sales

  20. Marketing’s new definitionreflects a broadened focus-- • Was focused on short term profitable transactions… • Now look at customers' lifetime value • Was focused on capturing new customers…. • Now focus on keeping existing customers • Was focused on mass- media advertising...... • Now use integrated strategy w/ all points of contact • Was segmented on geo/demographic variables • Now use all relevant variables, especially behavioral variables -- usage rate & loyalty • Performance was measured by financial metrics… • Now also measured strategic & customer-satisfaction metrics

  21. Marketing > Function =An Orientation “Marketing is… …the whole business seen from the point of view of its final result, -from the customers’ point of view.”

  22. Changed focus--resulted in restructuring: • Company was organized by product units..... • Now organized by customer segment • The marketing department did the marketing… • Now everyone does some marketing • Company was the unit of analysis......... • Now whole value chain is unit of analysis • Had individual / hierarchical work structures… • Now cross functional teams
