With the advent of data analytics, marketers can now better who their best customers are — and where the most lucrative opportunities could come from in the future. In this course, students will discover how data and modeling can be used to identify how a company should position itself. Notably, it will focus on “competitive analysis and market segmentation, including how to analyze and structure industries and markets.” Using this data, marketers can better predict how potential customers and competitors will act, along with building efforts that yield greatest return and customer satisfaction.
