Disruptive Brand Plan

Identify a brand that you would like to change their approach to their marketing and/or business practices. This must be a consumer tangible product OR a service company.

Or it could be a company that changes to all ‘green’ and that drives more interest and marketing coverage for this brand.

Marketing Mix

Discuss here the 4Ps that would have to be modified to make these changes. At this point it is very high-level. Remember that these changes the mix must be affordable. You cannot say for example that you are a car brand that is going to give a cruise to everyone that buys your vehicle…that could bankrupt a company. But what would change below? The product itself? Would the price have to change? Would you distribute this differently (place of purchase)? And then how would you promote this ‘disrupted’ product differently?
