Scenario Information
Your small marketing consulting firm was recently hired by Costa's Customs. Costa's Customs is a clothing retail company considering a complete rebranding, as their current reputation is dated and no longer appealing to desired market segments. In the past, Costa's Customs experimented with digital marketing initiatives but the campaign had been poorly thought out and poorly implemented. The previous campaign had very little engagement and was a failure that turned management off from online marketing channels completely. Costa's Customs' current marketing strategy ignores all forms of digital marketing. They've come to your company for advice and recommendations for improving their marketing efforts.
