Brand Research
Apple Incorporated is the largest technology producer and the world's most valuable brand (Ponciano, 2022). Apple is known for its innovations and breakthroughs in the consumer electronics industry, recognized and awarded for its marketing strategies. Apple has won the CMO Survey Award for Marketing Excellence for ten consecutive years (Vyshnavi, 2021). Apple Inc bases its marketing strategy on the idea of one of its founders, Steve Jobs; "customers don't always know what they want" (Vyshnavi, 2021). Apple does extensive market research to determine the consumer's wants and needs and then installs features making the consumer want to buy Apple products again and again instead of other brands (Dudovskiy, 2021). Apple keeps its products simple, like they keep its marketing simple, allowing its products to speak for themselves, focusing on simplicity and lifestyle. They market through commercials and print ads and selling through official stores and websites, targeting high-end product users and ensuring unmatched customer service.
Samsung, the fourth-largest electronic technology producer in the world (Ponciano, 2022), focuses its marketing on social media presence with a mix of products, pricing, promotions, and product placement (Simplilearn, 2022). Apple and Samsung both sell consumer electronics, similar in their marketing strategies to sell innovation and meet consumer needs; the delivery of the marketing has some differences. Apple uses a marketing strategy of simplicity and meeting the needs you didn't know you had, and Samsung delivers on price, promotions, and consumer wants. 2

Brand Message Analysis 1
Apple focuses on creating products for their target audience and loyal customers that instills the belief that their products make the consumer's life better. Their marketing from the beginning focused on functionality and simplicity. The first advertisement for the iPhone showed
functions and the simplicity of switching from one application to the next (Latest Tech HD, 2019). Apple's marketing commercial currently focuses on simplicity, but with the addition of diversity and inclusion (
The Greatest | Apple
, n.d.). The latest commercial focus on a diverse group of individuals using Apple products, making their lives better and more fulfilling.
Apple communicates with its target audience and potential customers through storytelling in video and viral marketing, product placement, and product media reviews. Apple produces inspirational videos that relate to and inspire the target audience (Dudovskiy, 2021). They market and encourage users to share inspirational stories on media outlets that other users and potential consumers can view, resonate with, and share. Product placement is another important way that Apple markets its products, and they place its products in movies and television. They focus on shows and films that are popular with the demographics of their target market (Dudovskiy, 2021). Media Reviews generate interest in products released by Apple. Positive reviews in traditional and social media drive the demand for new and emerging technology introduced by Apple. They send products to mainstream media to test, review and publish reviews before release to generate interest and excitement for the new products (Dudovskiy, 2021). Apple also actively engages in reviews and content concerning its products, both old and new. Apple uses media, product placement, and storytelling for marketing its products. They don't focus on paid advertising as much as a user and media-generated content to highlight their 3

Product Case Study
Sam and Micaela first met while studying marketing at San Juan College. Both were ambitious and had plans to run their own businesses. Over time they decided to start a business together. Initially they spent many months discussing what sort of business they should go into. They considered various service businesses, like consulting or an internet- based training offering. However, it was eventually an opportunity in the children’s toy market that appeared to have good potential.
They had observed that parents were becoming increasingly time-poor and, as a result, had
less time to spend with their children. And in order to compensate for this, the parents typically spent large amounts on their children to entertain them. Obvious examples were the success of PlayStations, iPads, PC’s, and mobile phones.
Sam argued, “these are big ticket…

One way to maintain exclusivity for a brand is to raise its price. That’s what luxury fashion and leather goods maker of Louis Vuitton did. The company does not want the brand to become overexposed and too common, so it raised prices 10 percent and is slowing its expansion in China. The Louis Vuitton brand is the largest contributor to the company’s $13.3 billion revenue from its fashion and leather division, accounting for $8 billion of those sales. It might seem counterintuitive to want to encourage fewer customers to purchase a company’s products, but when price increases, so do the product’s contribution margins, making each sale more profitable. Thus, sales can drop and the company can still maintain the same profitability as before the price hike.
If the company’s original contribution margin was 40 percent, calculate the new contribution margin if price is increased 10 percent. Refer to Appendix 2,Marketing by the Numbers, paying attention to endnote 6 on the price change…

Please choose the right answer :
Jim Hadley is shopping for a new car. He is very concerned about receiving value for his money. He believes cars are transportation and should be driven until they fall apart.

Jim’s lifestyle can be best described as comfortable, reflective, mature, and stable. He favors durability, functionality, and value in the products he buys.
