    Marketing is all around us. We are exposed to this world from a very young age and have encounters with many marketers from the beginning of each day. From waking up to an alarm on an iPad to tuning into Nickelodeon, from showering with Dove body wash to breakfasting on Kellogg’s cereal and Tropicana orange juice, the day, from start to finish, is a vehicle for marketers to engage their audience. Their key objective is to create a strong relationship between organizations and their current and potential customers. The aim of this unit is to give students opportunities to develop an understanding of the key concepts and terminology used in marketing, as well as to provide the practical skills required in order to create a marketing campaign for a sports organization. It will provide knowledge and understanding of the role and function of marketing within sports organizations, exploring the core concepts surrounding the marketing mix, along with developing an understanding of how to apply these within the context of a sports organization.
    Learning Outcomes
    • Explore the role of marketing within a sports organization
    • Investigate the core principles of the marketing mix Explain the role of digital marketing within the sports industry
    • Create a marketing communications campaign for a sports organization.
    The development of sport (creating pathways for participation and talent/elite development) and development through sport (using sport as a tool to achieve social outcomes) are now fundamental aspects of the organization and governance of sport around the world. Consequently, students wanting to work in sport need to understand what sport development programs are and how they can be managed, implemented and evaluated effectively. Sports development programs can be complex and have miscellaneous objectives. This unit, therefore, begins with assessing the different objectives, partnerships and funding of sports development programs. These often vary depending on the scope of the programs, and the organizations involved. Sport development programs can diverge from elite sport to youth and community sport, local disability sport to international development programs and, therefore, each program has unique objectives, partnerships and funding sources. The second outcome considers the contemporary issues and barriers often experienced when managing a sports program, and possible solutions to overcome these.
    Learning Outcomes
    • Assess the objectives, partnerships and funding of sports development programs
    • Conduct a community sports development program
    • Analyze contemporary issues and barriers for sports development programs
    • Review the community sports development program
