Scenario:
The marketing world is becoming more and more focused on directly connecting with consumers and making the marketing experience more personal. Consumer marketing managers lead teams of marketing agents through the successful implementation of a marketing campaign creating value for customers in order to capture value from customers in return.

Outstanding marketing companies understand the marketplace and customer needs, design value-creating marketing strategies, develop integrated marketing programs that deliver customer value and delight, and build strong customer relationships. In return, they capture value from customers in the form of sales, profits, and customer loyalty.
