About the Course

Taught by three of Wharton's top faculty in the marketing department, consistently ranked as the #1 marketing department in the world, this course covers three core topics in customer loyalty: branding, customer centricity, and practical, go-to-market strategies. You’ll learn key principles in - Branding: brand equity is one of the key elements of keeping customers in a dynamic world in which new startups are emerging constantly. - Customer centricity: not synonymous with customer service, customer centricity starts with customer focus and need-gathering. - Go-to-market strategies: understand the drivers that influence customers and see how these are implemented prior to making an investment. Complete this course as part of Wharton's Business Foundations Specialization, and you'll have the opportunity to take the Capstone Project and prepare a strategic analysis and proposed solution to a real business challenge from Wharton-governed companies like Shazam and SnapDeal or to a challenge faced by your own company or organization. Wharton-trained staff will evaluate the top submissions, and leadership teams at Shazam and SnapDeal will review the highest scoring projects prepared for their companies....

Learnt a lot of concepts in marketing that were hiding in plain sight. I want to thank all the professors who were part of making this course and Wharton online for making this accessible to everyone.

The course could offer more applied exercises and examples (e.g., business cases). I liked the content but I don't feel I'm ready to practice it because of that.

I found it hard to comprehend the concepts well with Prof. Raju's monotonous and dull body language. Plus, I find the Indian accent extremely distracting.

I bit outdated by this point, though many concepts are still relevant. would like to see case studies and working examples updated beyond 2014.

Good basics to marketing. Learned a lot I can use as a budding Entrepreneur! Materials and especially examples are outdated by 5 years.

Interesting course! I did find it a bit dry at times though and hard to absorb. The quiz questions were also a bit hard to understand.

Lectures are great, but transcription is not very much helpful, it is better off to have a PDF file that is written on the topic.

This course is a bit slapdash, and the lack of quizzes after each video makes it hard to prepare for the quizzes.

Good introduction, some modules are more interesting (less obvious, or less of a "definition list") than others.

Can't see the graphs due to subtitles. Very annoying, and makes it hard to comprehend what's being explained.

I feel this course is too few to illustrate the basic marketing principles. It just introduces some trends.

The theories are monotonous. It can be made fun using interactive examples and small exercises.

Not what I was looking for. Too much of a big picture overview. Looking for more specifics.
