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 />
