MBA 645 Memo From Legal Team

To: Chief Marketing Officer—Global Theme Parks From: Corporate Legal Department

CC: U.S. Directors of Marketing, U.S. Parks Re: Legal and Ethical Considerations in Marketing the Parks’ Reopenings

Below you will find a list of considerations to take into account in the development of the marketing plans to support the reopening of our U.S. parks. We are asking you to review all plans and messaging with the legal teams at your specific parks, given that local and state statutes will vary. Broadly, these are considerations to keep top of mind as you develop your plans. Ethical considerations:

• There are growing corporate social responsibility (CSR) trends addressing people, planet, and profit. Commonly called the triple bottom line or TBL, these trends are becoming the expected norms for businesses.

• Ensure your efforts align with our company’s TBL efforts and CSR initiatives. • Ensure you engage critical stakeholder groups as required in both the marketing

initiatives and communications. • We understand a significant portion of our target audience is comprised of families with

young children, young adults, and teenagers. This audience is particularly sensitive to the CSR of businesses they consider supporting.

Here are six unethical and illegal practices to avoid:

1. False advertising 2. Selective marketing 3. Unethical data collection 4. Stereotyping 5. Negative advertising 6. Pricing strategies (predatory pricing or “bait and switch” pricing)

With consumers able to access transparent details of businesses' operational policies and philosophies, any questionable marketing approaches are sure to come to light and must be avoided.

MBA 645 Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric

Scenario

You are the regional marke�ng director of a theme park in the southeastern United States that is part of a global brand. The chief

marke�ng officer (CMO) of global opera�ons has called upon you to help coordinate the marke�ng tasks related to rolling out an

emergency response due to a recent safety and injury incident at one of the parks resul�ng in serious injuries to employees and

customers. The parks were closed immediately following the incident to ensure safety measures for customers and employees and

to deploy the needed safety measures.

Now, as the theme park is all set to reopen, the CMO has called you to take a lead in planning the marke�ng strategy for the same.

Your responsibility is to design a phased strategy for marke�ng the reopening of all parks. Your strategy should address the cri�cal

objec�ves such as maximum safety, crisis communica�on, customer sa�sfac�on, and profit poten�al. You must coordinate

marke�ng strategy with corporate strategy, as failure or success of the marke�ng strategy can have a direct impact on the brand.

As a first step, you will perform an analysis to understand the implica�ons of reopening on brand equity. In this analysis you will

iden�fy the groups of stakeholders that are affected by the reopening and also plan the communica�on strategy for before and a�er

the parks’ reopening. Also, you will iden�fy the roles and responsibili�es of key func�onal departments that are going to play an

important role in the reopening process. This analysis will help you develop a strategic marke�ng plan to address the reopening of

the park and also to develop an effec�ve crisis communica�on plan.

In this milestone, you will create a PowerPoint presenta�on that will include brand analysis and the implica�ons of reopening on the

brand equity and func�onal departments, including their roles and responsibili�es in the reopening process.
