  • Part 1 (pp. 1-57): If you have not yet completed a Marketing Plan or a Campaign and Program Plan for an earlier course in your program (e.g., COM610 Integrated Marketing Communications or COM625 Campaign and Program Management), you can provide the requested detail for the upcoming evaluation tasks from a basic plan you create yourself.
