1.2 Role of marketing in creation value for customer
Marketing is set of activities related to exchanging, creating, delivering and
communicating that have value for targeted customer (de Vries and Moscato, 2019). The role of
marketing is to bring value to clients, whom the enterprise seek to identify, retain and satisfy. In
order to emphasize the role of marketing in term of business growth and development.
Marketing is plays important role within organization to increase demand of business in
global marketplace. it has followed appropriate policy of quality product at affordable price. In
order to attract more customers (Juaneda-Ayensa and et.al., 2019). When develop marketing
strategy, they make important decision about the direction that enterprise implement marketing

The advantage of Marketing is to understand the specific need and requirement of
customer. Afterwards, it will be launch new product to increase the demand of business in global
marketplace (Visser, M., Sikkenga, B. and Berry, M., 2019).. In the simplest way, It can be

can be cost effective to manage or capture value creation for customers.
1.3 Stakeholder engagement and their impact on the marketing activities of “orgnization”.
A stakeholder analysis is based on the process of identifying the people those are
performing significant role within particular project. According to level of participation, interest
which influencing and identifying how best to involve with group of people. In order to
understand that stakeholder engagement impact on the marketing activities. The stakeholder
analysis typically understand the range of technique or tool to identify the specific need and
expectation of major interest the environment (Prabhuram, Rajmohan and Johnson, 2020). It
often considered the initial step in the strategic planning of marketing on the business level. It
allow to consider the requirement of customer and consistently performed different activities.
Furthermore, identify the stakeholders such as managers, employees, owner, and government.
Since, stakeholder engagement emphasizes the potential and intention with marketing
concept. In order to understand the highly expectation for business which provide inspiration and
meaning to server society (Prabhuram, Rajmohan and Johnson, 2020). In order to produce better
quality of product and service. Stakeholder engagement contribute to either the failure or success
of marketing strategies. It became great opportunities of business to establish the trust based
relationship with their potential customer, vendors, employees and stakeholder. In order to
enhance the resilience as well as business sustainability. While stakeholder engagement impact
on the marketing activities which contribute to hold the specific role in the different process
(Tyson, 2019).
Marketing is related to communication so that stakeholder interact with other department
and sever as integrative function. Afterwards, they can establish the relationship with the
marketing which facilitating transactions such as generating sales, investment. The stakeholder
engagement marketing advance with organization mission. In order to address its significant
objective through ongoing approach (Mishyna, Mishyn and Parkhomenko, 2019). It can be
developed as systematic process of communicating, engaging, exchanging and connecting value
with various stakeholders.
Furthermore, it is not practical but generally essential to engage with multiple stakeholder
group with similar level of intensity (Mishyna, Mishyn and Parkhomenko, 2019). For Example-
In P&G, internal and external stakeholder are participating in the marketing activities. It might
7

be performed the specific role to provide better service of potential customer (Visser, M.,
Sikkenga, B. and Berry, M., 2019).
Stakeholder directly engaged with marketing team to identify the specific need and
requirement of customer. It help for categorised the existing customer on the basis of preference,
demand. In this way, it can be understands that stakeholder directly impact on the marketing
activities. It provide idea about the preference of customer so that it become easier for marketing
team to target (Visser, M., Sikkenga, B. and Berry, M., 2019).. An understanding the marketing
which require to identify the information about the client. Many organization involves the
marketing activities such as advertisement, website, telephone, Email and newsletters. These are
consider as various marketing activities that always influence customer towards product and
service.
For Example- In P&G, Stakeholder may be interested in marketing activities aspects of
entire business performance and management (Visser, M., Sikkenga, B. and Berry, M., 2019).
They will make a plan of strategic development which influencing team member to adapt in the
marketing processes. In order to identify the demand of potential customer. Therefore,
stakeholder engagement directly impact on the organization to increase productivity and
profitability in global marketplace.
TASK 1B
Reflection of tactical communication tool that mainly used to generate awareness and interest.
In my personal opinion, communication is a based on the approach that help for
exchanging the information from one person to another. I have understand that internal
communication which mainly consider the best practices within organization. It often that find
out internal communication among employees (Visser, M., Sikkenga, B. and Berry, M., 2019). I
have been focused on the roadmap which consistently create an effective strategic idea that will
support for enhancing entire business activities I have feel that people share their innovative
through communication tool. Furthermore, I have believed that organization need to create a plan
for using various communication platform such as Email, website and telephone. I have
identified various tools which always support for business to find out the preference, demand of
potential customers.
As per my experience, I have shared about the internal communication plan with the
marketing team that mainly used the platform, tool. In order to directly establish the interaction
8

with customers (Visser, M., Sikkenga, B. and Berry, M., 2019). According to me, it is important
to enhance the awareness among people which require to develop promotional internal
communication plan. Initially, I have been selected an appropriate distribution channel as per
current business situation. Therefore, I have accomplished the suitable goal and objective.
Furthermore, I have believed that overview situation which always promoting need for
communication. Afterwards, I have found the desirable outcome which define the business
requirement. In order to establish the direct connection between organizational objective. As I
always think about the enterprise outcome and also wanted to achieve through communication
tool such as website, social media. I have realised that communication tool plays important to
achieve business requirement (Visser, M., Sikkenga, B. and Berry, M., 2019). For purpose of
developing promotional plan so that I have been created the smart objective in which define
business need. Moreover, I have used the communication tool to target the potential customer
and provide the information about particular good and services. Sometimes, I have been assumed
that communication tool as tactical approach that always support for developing a strong
relationship with client. As per my opinion, it can be possible when enterprise implement to use
communication tool that provide awareness. In order to develop interest among people.
As per my personal experience, social media is one of most efficient communication tool
that is mainly used for sharing the information from one place to another. At workplace, I have
been considerations that access relevant information through communication tool. In this way, I
have considered the success of communication tool (Visser, M., Sikkenga, B. and Berry, M.,
2019). As I have analysed that academic theory always support for predicted the data or
information. Afterwards, it can be shared to other colleagues within organization. I have been
shown interest towards communication tool such as social media because it provide a lot of
necessary information or data. In order to establish the strong communication and build self-
awareness in particular enterprise project.
