MARKETING<br />
Marketing is all around us – in the television adverts we watch, on the websites we access, in the stores<br />
where we shop, in the brands we buy, the products we choose and so much more.<br />
This subject introduces students to the many dimensions<br />
of marketing and demonstrates why it is much more than<br />
just selling or advertising. You’ll investigate product and<br />
service development and management, pricing, market<br />
research, advertising, sales promotion, distribution and other<br />
related areas.<br />
Studying Marketing at <strong>Waikato</strong> will give you the skills<br />
to develop innovative brands, to find out what drives<br />
customer behaviour, and to design effective promotions and<br />
advertising.<br />

LIAM GUNSON (BMS)<br />
Analyst, IDC<br />
“Information is everything at IDC. We’re a leading technology market<br />
intelligence company, and I run a team that researches PC markets<br />
across Australia and New Zealand. The intelligence we gather is<br />
powerful – it’s sold to stakeholders such as PC vendors to inform their<br />
product development, market and sales operations; and it’s sold to<br />
major corporations and government customers who need knowledge<br />
of significant and emerging technologies.<br />
The industry is fast-paced and the work exciting. I deal with big<br />
players like Microsoft and IBM, and travel through Australasia, Asia<br />
and the US. I’ve used every skill gained from my studies and life as a<br />
student. My job isn’t just about graphs and reports, I lead a team,<br />
deliver presentations and interact with international clients.”<br />
