How to use paths

Module 1: 

Introduction to Growth Marketing

To succeed in growth, staying focused on a few metrics is crucial. These should be the ones that are most important to your growth and form a chain of effects that measure your success throughout the customer journey. Such a compilation is called the Growth Funnel, and this course will guide you on creating yours.

The course teaches you to assemble your own Growth Funnel and evaluate which metrics should be included. You learn to reason about the pros and cons of choosing different metrics. The course leader Erik Modig also explains common challenges companies face when putting together their Growth Funnel and how to deal with them.

There are almost endless metrics in marketing, often leading to confusion or a loss of focus on what is important. This course orients you to metrics and different structures and systems for categorizing different types of metrics.

The course uses several metrics to give you a broad perspective on what is measured in marketing. The measures are structured based on different systems to offer you different opportunities to choose ways to show and explain why you measure what you do.

Marketing Levels sets a new structure and standard for growth-focused marketing. Here is the basic course that explains the structure we call ML Canvas. Learn marketing for real.

You will understand how marketing must be structured to contribute to growth and business goals.

Module 2: 

Customer Analysis

All customers go through a behavioral and mental journey on their way to a purchase or other choice. A better understanding of that customer journey means insights into what makes you lose and gain customers. Based on this, companies can adapt their interaction with customers to create a customer journey that facilitates the customer and motivates them all the way to the decision. You will learn several ways to analyze a customer journey and which method is best suited for different situations. 

You will learn the difference between active and passive customer decisions and how companies must work with both to facilitate and motivate customers. You will learn the pitfalls of mapping a customer journey so that you can avoid them.

What is it that drives your customers to purchase or other behaviors? In this course, you will learn several different systems in customer psychology and how to apply these to your customers to complete a driving force analysis.You will learn to understand customers' different driving forces. 

You will get practical tips and guides on functional and emotional benefits to help you analyze customers. You will also learn the difference between driving force analysis and personas and what is important for a driving force analysis to lead to greater focus and success for you as a company.

The reason companies succeed or fail in their marketing depends to a large extent on the understanding of the company's market. This course summarizes the various analyses that need to be done to increase the understanding and thus also increase the probability of success.

The course teaches you why and what you would gain from conducting analyses of segmentation, stakeholders, market structure, category structure, and competition. You will learn when the different analyses are most important so that you can assess what is most important for you.

The second module is about accelerating your growth. To sharpen and optimize behaviors in your growth funnel, we need to understand the customer journey and the customer psychology behind it - how your customer thinks and what is the basis for a purchase.

We start by analyzing what motivates our customers. Then we go deeper into understanding the customer journey. In addition to these, we will examine whether there may be another, perhaps deeper reason why we are not growing.

Module 3: 

Strategy

Companies usually have growth targets, so it is important to understand how to create and present a growth plan. In this course, you will get a variety of templates and exercises based on different ways to structure your growth. By learning how to break down your growth into markets, segments, KPIs, channels, or activities, you get a broad understanding of different approaches and can thus combine them in the best way.

You will learn several different ways to structure a growth plan. This means that in the future, you can break down your growth in an easily understandable way for both you and your colleagues. This also means that you can more easily evaluate whether your goals are reasonable and how you can adapt plans.

The marketing strategy is usually the heart of a marketing plan as it connects markets and segments with offers. This means that it clarifies which target groups the company should address, which market position the company wants to take, and which offers should be marketed to the target groups. A well-executed marketing strategy creates clarity both in terms of objectives and implementation.

You will learn the basics of what is included in a marketing strategy to effectively evaluate what is missing or needs improvement based on your own situation.

One of the most sought-after skills today is marketing strategy. However, it is an area that is often poorly defined and contains gaps. This course goes through all the different elements to give you a complete picture and understanding.

You will learn to understand marketing and business development strategies. You will get an overview of what different strategies contain and why you need to know them.

In marketing, many different strategies lead to growth and the ability to beat the competition. However, to succeed, companies need to set a strategic direction. This course examines different strategic directions for winning against competitors so that you can analyze what you need to do to increase your likelihood of success.

You will learn to evaluate business development strategies and increase your ability to discuss and strategize for growth.

This module helps you to review your strategy by clarifying the differences between the different elements of business, marketing, branding and promotional strategy.

We then set a plan for the different parts of your strategy that need to be refined. In particular, we focus on market strategy to gain clarity in our segments, priorities and our value propositions. We end the module by going through different ways of writing growth plans. Here you set future goals and the way to reach them.

Module 4: 

Tactics

There are many choices when it comes to what to invest in marketing. Therefore, it is important to continuously evaluate which different parts of your tactics need more or less attention or investment. Thus, this course goes through how you can structure your different tactical activities and evaluate them, as well as set a plan for the future.

Tactics is a very broad area where you have to find the areas where you think you can increase your growth right now. Here it becomes a challenge to sniff out the parts that are not sufficiently efficient or optimized.

Thus, we start with a tactical review of product packaging, distribution, UX, sales, negotiation and marketing communication to identify where you can find improvements. From there, you set a plan for the courses you want to dive deeper into.

Examination

Tillvägagångssätt

Examinationen består av två olika delar som examineras samtidigt eller var för sig.

Flervalsfrågor

För det första kommer du att få en uppsättning av 20 st flervalsfrågor baserat på innehållet i de fyra modulerna. Frågorna har ett rätt svar utifrån fyra olika alternativ. Här behöver du få 15 rätt för att bli godkänd. Om du inte får det vid första tillfället kan du ta testet igen en vecka efteråt.

Inlämningsuppgift

Du behöver också genomföra en inlämningsuppgift som består av två moment med två uppgifter i vardera moment.

  1. Analys av beslutsfattande
    För det första ska du själv väljer ett bolag som du analyserar utifrån vilken typ av påverkan deras kommunikation skulle behöva ha på sin målgrupp för att lyckas med ett utsatt mål. Du anger vilket bolag, vilket mål de har och redogör för hur de ska uppnå det genom att koppla an till de olika begreppen i modul 1.

    För det andra kommer vi att ge dig ett bolag och ett specifikt mål som du ska analysera utifrån vilken typ av påverkan deras kommunikation skulle behöva ha för att lyckas med det uppsatta målet. Här ska du förklara utifrån de begrepp som presenteras i modul 1 vad kommunikationen skulle behöva uppnå.
  2. Analys av marknadskommunikation
    För det första vill vi att du väljer ett exempel av marknadskommunikation (en annons, ett mail eller liknande) och analyserar vilken möjlig effekt denna kommunikation bör ha på en definierad målgrupp.

    För det andra kommer vi att ge dig ett exempel av marknadskommunikation (en annons, ett mail eller likande) där vi vill att du analyserar möjlig effekt samt kommer med tre konkreta förbättringsförslag.

Hela inlämningsuppgiften bedömer vi tar ca 2 timmar och vardera analys ca 0,5 A4 i skrift, så totalt ca 2 A4 text.

Efter inlämning får du besked om du är godkänd. Om ej godkänd kommer krav på komplettering och då är du godkänd när den färdigställts. När båda delarna är klara får du ditt diplom.

Examination

Approach

The examination consists of two different parts that are examined simultaneously or separately.

Multiple choice questions

Firstly, you will receive a set of 20 multiple choice questions based on the content of the four modules. The questions have one correct answer from four different options. Here you need to get 15 right to pass. If you don't get it right the first time, you can take the test again a week later.

Hand-in assignment

You will also have to complete an assignment consisting of two parts with two assignments in each part.

  1. Analysis of decision-making
    Firstly, you will choose a company to analyze based on the type of impact their communication would need to have on their target audience in order to achieve a set goal. You indicate which company, which goal they have and explain how they will achieve it by linking to the different concepts in module 1.

    Secondly, we will give you a company and a specific goal to analyze based on the type of impact their communication would need to have in order to achieve the set goal. Here you should explain, based on the concepts presented in Module 1, what the communication would need to achieve.
  2. Analysis of marketing communication
    Firstly, we want you to choose an example of marketing communication (an advertisement, an email or similar) and analyze the possible effect this communication should have on a defined target group.

    Secondly, we will give you an example of marketing communication (an advertisement, an email, or similar) where we want you to analyze the possible effect and come up with three concrete suggestions for improvement.

We estimate that the entire assignment will take about 2 hours and each analysis about 0.5 A4 in writing, so a total of about 2 A4 text.

After submission, you will be notified if you are approved. If not approved, you will be required to complete the work. When both parts are completed, you will receive your diploma.
