Let’s Define Marketing:
- “marketing is the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating,
delivering, and exchanging offerings that have VALUE for customers, clients, and society
at large
o marketing should be regarded as a broad activity in companies, not just a
department
o Marketing provides long term value rather than a narrow exchange of money
- Marketing is an exchange for SOMETHING OF VALUE

Marketing and Mission Statements:
- Mission statement is the written declaration of an organization’s core purpose; typically
unchanged over time
o Product oriented versus market-oriented
- Chipotle example: “we sell burritos and other Mexican food” vs “We give customers
‘Food with Integrity,’ served with a commitment toward the long-term welfare of
customers and the environment”
- Facebook Example: “We are an online social network” vs “We connect people around
the work and help them share important moments in their lives”
