The Marketing Manager is going on maternity leave, and her replacement won’t start for another four
weeks. As you are in charge of the new campus project, the CEO asked you to assist the marketing
team in developing the following:
• A mood board to inspire the design of a new website dedicated to the new campus
• Work in collaboration with the marketing team to draft your promotional message and mood board
• Present your draft work to relevant stakeholders for feedback and approval
Schedule a time with the trainer and assessor in week 3 of class to meet with the marketing team
(played by a group of classmates). This is a Role-Play.
The meeting is about brainstorming ideas for the promotional message and the mood board.
The trainer and assessor will validate that the meeting took place and provide feedback on the
marking sheet.
If you are absent from class, it is your responsibility to make alternative arrangements with the trainer
and assessor to perform the Role-Play.
Include 3-4 agenda items, consider staff availability when scheduling a time for the meeting.

Email to Marketing Team
As you all know, due to the fact that Marketing Manager is on maternity leave, I am very pleased in
assisting our team for the new Sydney campus project in the next one month.
Our first challenge is to create a marketing plan for promoting the new campus to local students and
educational agents. This requires the preparation for a good, concise and on-point promotional
message as well as an attractive mood board. Therefore it is very important that we should hold a
meeting this week.
Since all of you are commonly available on Thursday, 13th of April around 12pm to 1pm, I think this
is the ideal time for our meeting. The location should be on-site in Sydney office. I will be presenting
my ideas about how a promotional message should look like. Maria will take care of mood board and
Jason will tell us on how he thinks we should be writing our content. Last but not least is when Logan
will help us brainstorming what we should post on MMI’s Facebook page. Hence, our meeting will
comprise of four parts, divided equally into 15 min each. Finally, we will spend just a little bit of extra
time on how we should present our finalized work to Project Sponsor in the next meeting, as it might
be occurring same time next week.
I hope that all of you will attend the meeting and prepare your work before we start our discussion.
Kind regards,
Reflect on the meeting requirements and prepare for the meeting. Complete the table below:

Dear M(r)s Deborah Red, MMI’s CEO,
Thank you very much for the opportunity to be meeting you and and appointed Steering Committee
members. On behalf of my team, it was a very nice moment for me to be presenting you our marketing
campaign under the supervision of M(r)s Taylor Varin, our project sponsor.
The meeting has gone well with respect to our objectives and expected outcomes.
Promotional message has delivered the marketing positioning of the company however there are still
room for further changes and improvements regarding its content, advertising strategy and
implementation. Same with the mood board. It has delivered the competitive advantage of MMI’s
new Sydney Campus, however it might be considered basic for some stakeholders.
For changes regarding advertising message and updates, these may reflect in the changes for
budgeting (over 10% budget) which might required approval from CFO and the board. A marketing
expert from project steering committee can be consulted for the final review of the campaign. I
suggest Mr Eli Brown and Mr Jacob Graham who could not attend meeting can be helping us with
this.
A follow-up email about all the changes, QAs, final review and implementation will be sent to you and
the project steering group in couple of days.
Kind regards,
This task requires you to test the finalised promotional message and mood board with a focus group.

group of classmates who will play the role of prospective students (target group in the focus group) in

and assessor to perform the Role-Play.

Also, thank you for approving the promotional message and mood board so we can start the process
for our new Sydney Campus marketing campaign.
Indeed, last week we have invited a group of prospective students to our new Sydney campus. The
students were given a tour around the Sydney campus and attending our marketing plan presentation.
The presentation was well received with many students fell so excited to come and study with us.
Some students also suggest having a pre-commencement event so more students will know more
about MMI Sydney. The QA forms were also sent to students via email, where the summarized results
can be found in the attached file. Overall, 75% of attendees were happy with the presentation and
are likely to register with us; only 10% is still making up their own mind and 15% of the students are
in the neutral position.
We will document our lessons learned and hand-over to the Marketing Manager after she comes back.
Once again, thank you for this opportunity. Please do not hesitate to ask us if you have any questions.
Kind regards,
Dai Duong
