Professor Mark Ritson introduces the Marketing Week Mini-MBA in Marketing. He explains the logic and syllabus behind the course, looks at the course format and shares some of the feedback from those who attended the course in 2017.
If you are considering the Mini MBA this year then this is a unique chance to learn more about it and see if it is the right choice for you.
The course, taught by marketing professor and Marketing Week columnist Mark Ritson, will offer modules on marketing orientation, targeting and strategy.
I’m delighted Kraft Heinz’s attempt to acquire Unilever failed because experience suggests the way the company does business and how it operates could very easily have changed.

In the latest episode of Marketing Week’s podcast series, former Nike CMO Greg Hoffman discusses the origins of 2018’s ‘Dream Crazy’, the secrets of brand identity excellence and why restrictions can be joyful.
I run a new media firm. I started it in 2007. I have serviced brands such as Yahoo, Pepsico and Fritto Lays. Yes, I did social media for them. I stopped doing it in 2013. I did not see value in posting updates after updates. I stopped getting work. I ranted, but it did not help.
I read what Bob Hoffman wrote. It seemed there was no future with digital. Recently I read what Byron Sharp and Mark Ritson wrote about the state of digital media. More heartbreak.
In the meanwhile my team had downsized to three people. We focussed on building a database of online behaviour, which brand could use. Agencies hired us for the research, but never used the research.
It came to old school marketing for digital to make sense. We have been trying to use marketing principles and digital medium for startups. Somethings work, while somethings don’t. For example we have stopped doing regular updates. We have stopped trying to engage. We use promotion mix and marketing communications fundamentals. We can be better, if we understand the above two better.
I would like to attend this course.
