MBA 645 CMO Memo for Target Audience
To: Director of Marketing, U.S. Park Southeast
From: Chief Marketing Officer, Global Theme Parks
Re: Target Audience Identification
This memorandum is intended to confirm our recent presentation to the marketing directors of our global theme parks. A target audience is a group of consumers within a predefined target market that have been identified as the best recipients for a particular marketing message. And a target market broadly describes consumers who care about our theme parks, products, and services. Under the right conditions, they are most likely to be our customers, and our marketing efforts should focus on this target audience.
For the U.S. Park Southeast, working with market research and our business intelligence group, we have identified the primary target audience of families with children ages 6–18 and an average annual income of more than $75,000 per year. A secondary target audience of teens ages 15–18 has also been identified. These two target audiences will likely create a diverse marketing plan as we re-engage with them through our reopening efforts.
MBA 645 CMO MEMO From: Chief Marketing Officer
To: Marketing Director, U.S. Park Southeast Re: Park Reopenings
Good day.
As you know, we recently closed our theme parks globally due to a serious safety incident resulting in serious injury to several of our guests and two employees. This has resulted in the closing of the parks and all associated services. We are confident that the safety issues have been addressed and are preparing to reopen the parks, beginning with the U.S. Park Southeast. We have made every effort to ensure extensive safety measures are in place at this time. I am asking you, given your extensive background in marketing and strategic development, to take the lead in planning a marketing strategy for the U.S. Park Southeast’s reopening, including plans for a phased reopening of all parks. You will need to consider critical objectives such as maximum safety, crisis communication, customer satisfaction, and optimal profit potential. You will be coordinating the marketing strategy with corporate strategy to ensure our brand is both protected and optimized. A brand analysis and the identification of critical marketing and communications factors must be included in your planning to successfully reopen the parks. Please consider the alignment with our other functional departments in your efforts. It will take all of us to successfully relaunch the parks and to protect and optimize our brand. I would like a presentation made to all marketing directors of our global brand within 10 weeks from today.

MBA 645 Project Guidelines and Rubric
Competencies
In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competencies:
Manage elements of a sustainable global brand
Propose a method to market
Design a marke�ng strategy
Scenario
You are the regional marke�ng director of a theme park in the southeastern United States that is part of global brand. The chief
marke�ng officer of global opera�ons has called upon you to help coordinate the marke�ng tasks related to rolling out an
emergency response to a recent safety and injury incident at one of the parks that resulted in serious injuries to employees and
customers. This theme park was closed immediately following the incident to ensure safety measures for customers and employees
and to deploy the needed safety measures.
Now, as the theme park is all set to reopen, the CMO has called you to take a lead in planning the marke�ng strategy to support the
reopening of the park. Your responsibility is to design a phased strategy for reopening all parks, with cri�cal objec�ves such as
maximum safety, crisis communica�on, customer sa�sfac�on, and profit poten�al. You must coordinate marke�ng strategy with
corporate strategy, as failed or successful planning will impact brand success and recogni�on.
You have determined the scope of work and have outlined the high-level plan. As a first step, you decided to perform the brand
analysis and iden�fica�on of cri�cal elements to successfully market the reopening of the park. Based on the outcomes, you
developed a customizable marke�ng strategy template that can be used by other theme parks under the same umbrella.
Next, you need to create a presenta�on (toolkit) to share your analysis and recommenda�ons for the proposed marke�ng support of
the park. But, as you are working to complete the final bit of the toolkit, your social media monitoring partner shares a report of the
theme park’s social media image and performance. The report shows a significant spike in nega�ve public feedback. The report
states there is the percep�on of an uncaring, careless brand forcing a reopening for profit. Your presenta�on should also include
strategies for how you will address the emerging nega�ve percep�on on social media about the theme park. You will show this
presenta�on to your CMO and other regional marke�ng directors of the park.
Direc�ons

MBA 645 Memo From Legal Team
To: Chief Marketing Officer—Global Theme Parks From: Corporate Legal Department
CC: U.S. Directors of Marketing, U.S. Parks Re: Legal and Ethical Considerations in Marketing the Parks’ Reopenings
Below you will find a list of considerations to take into account in the development of the marketing plans to support the reopening of our U.S. parks. We are asking you to review all plans and messaging with the legal teams at your specific parks, given that local and state statutes will vary. Broadly, these are considerations to keep top of mind as you develop your plans. Ethical considerations:
• There are growing corporate social responsibility (CSR) trends addressing people, planet, and profit. Commonly called the triple bottom line or TBL, these trends are becoming the expected norms for businesses.
• Ensure your efforts align with our company’s TBL efforts and CSR initiatives. • Ensure you engage critical stakeholder groups as required in both the marketing
initiatives and communications. • We understand a significant portion of our target audience is comprised of families with
young children, young adults, and teenagers. This audience is particularly sensitive to the CSR of businesses they consider supporting.
Here are six unethical and illegal practices to avoid:
1. False advertising 2. Selective marketing 3. Unethical data collection 4. Stereotyping 5. Negative advertising 6. Pricing strategies (predatory pricing or “bait and switch” pricing)
With consumers able to access transparent details of businesses' operational policies and philosophies, any questionable marketing approaches are sure to come to light and must be avoided.
