1.What are some of the
key marketing strategies mentioned by Mr. Abenante to compete in a 21st-century
global economy?Marketing strategies are essential to any existing company. The
rationale behind this is that one may develop goods and services with the
highest potential of generating a profit by using a marketing plan as instanced
by Mr. Abenante (New York
Stock Exchange, 2013). This is so that marketing strategy may begin with market
research, which considers one's ideal target client, what competitors are
doing, and potential global trends (Zabojnik,
2018). The VP of Brands and Insight mostly revolves around enhancing their
branding by expanding past the local needs to meet consumer requirements in
different geographies (New
York Stock Exchange, 2013). This is a means of making the brand relevant and,
as such, enhancing the company's equity to be among the topmost brands
worldwide (New York Stock
Exchange, 2013). Moreover, he emphasizes that as a marketing strategy, one
should look up to top brands and focus on similarities that matter, such as
grand purpose, a creative idea used as a springboard for narrating the company's
life purpose, and relevant roles that the company and its product will play in
people's lives across all geographies.
