CHAPTER 4: Marketing Mix (Three Cs)
4. Marketing Mix of ASIATIC
The three C’s of marketing, a strategic marketing concept, is a very popular concept for marketers.
This concept takes into consideration 3 variables to explain a complete marketing strategy of
companies like Asiatic. These 3 variables are dynamic in nature and fully depend on each other.
In case of any variable changes, it affects the other variables as well. Asiatic MCL tries to focus
on all the aspects to attain their customer, improve and maintain quality of the company service.
Customer, which is the first C basically are the target group or audience that supposed to be served.
We call them our respected client. The most important thing to make the customer satisfy is to
understand the needs of them. As a solution provide like us, we always focus on the needs and
demand of our customer and provide them the best solution that they can get.
Product Line (What we offer): Every brand has their own criteria, style of engagement and rules
and regulation. For that, we divide our service into three different aspects so every brand can meet
their objective. The three aspect that we offer is 1) Engagement 2) Information 3) Sales
Engagement: The main focus of Some of the brands is only engagement where they want to keep
their customer/audience engage with the brand that can help the brand name and reputation stay
inside their customer/audience. In order to create the attention/engage the customer we post some
stuff like quiz, contest, Informative video and creative etc. After that we ensure the customer is
participating by reacting and commenting on that post. Sometime we made them share the post to
win prizes with the particular hashtag.
Information: Apart from engaging the customer some of the brands want to provide information
to their respective customer. We call it information-oriented brand. For an example if they want to
add a new service, if they update their current price/policy/cart, if they want to provide some
information about recent activities. Firstly, we post a creative according to their demand/criteria
and then we start providing the information asked by the customer trough comment or inbox.
Sales: The biggest client for our department is sales-oriented client in terms of budgets, scale and
operation we generate the maximum revenue from them. Basically, we provide all three service
that we discussed (engagement, information and finally sales). To make a sale there is a three step.
First of all, we engage the customer by replying their comment and attain their attention by posting
some creative secondly, we provide information about our product. Let them know the feature of
the product and the best offer. Finally, we motivate them to order the product.
4.2 Company:
For a company’s overall marketing strategy development, it needs to focus on the marketing mix
by E. Jerome McCarthy, –Product (Service), Price, Promotion and Place (distribution) – which
constitute the most common variables used in constructing a marketing mix.
4.2.1 Product (Service): For Asiatic their services are the products.
When new clients want to hire agency for their works, they post biding to many renwanded agency
and they share their thought about work to the agency. Then marketing agency make pitch for the
client with the best works. Asiatic has already many works for different brands.New clients check
different agencys works in Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, Print ad , Imo,Viber, Google ad etc.
They can find the creative and innovative works of different brands work’s of Asiatic and they
chose Asiatic for meeting to discuss or negotiate about the agrretemnt to work.
To on board our potential client we target/branding them by which platform are they interested to
focus. Our department provides support for all platforms related to social media; Facebook,
Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube etc. If the client wants Facebook the expansion of service is huge.
If they focus on YouTube there are some limitation. We target the client in terms of there range
budget scale and the operation.
As we act like a middle man that means our communication is two way one we serve our client on
the other hand we serve for our client. In that case community engagement department’s customer
are considered in two dimensions.
Clients: Brac bank, Singer Bangladesh, Pran, Nestle BD, MG Bangladesh those brands are our
client/ customer. We sell our service to them and the service is community engagement. Their
services are promoted and the informed by us through social media.
The actual customer: The customers with whom we communicate for our client to show their
desired service and information. The customers who text and comment on the pages of the different
brands like brac bank, singer Bd etc. We gather the information from the customer and provide
them to our client so the client can take necessary step according to our findings.
If we consider the customers that we get in the inboxes and comments in those remanded brands
the segmentation is divide on the basis of age, interest, gender, preference, region etc.
Singer Bangladesh Ltd: The actual customer range is 25 and above. Both the female and male
are the potential customer of Singer. If we niche the segment Female customers are more interested
in Microwave oven, Washing Machine, Kitchen appliance where the male customers are more
interested in TV, AC, Refrigerators.
Jhatpot: For Jhatpot , the main customer of this brand is female. They provide frozen food items
and the office going female are likely to buy there products.
MG: There actual customers are likely to be upper class with secure job and reputation in society
even the young generation who like adventure in their lives.
Pran comes with huge product line where it can be segmented according to age, gender occupation.
Example- Mr mango all the customers are young age, they knocked in inbox and comment for
product price and amiability. Most of the engagement are done with different type of competition,
quiz, picture shared etc.
4.2.9 Behavioral Segmentation: The customers of Singer Bangladesh are sells and after sales
base. Singer comes with occasional offers and regular offers for different age and type of
customers. So, the replies are so much informative and customized. The customer of Brac bank is
information seekers such as loan, account opening, branch information etc.
For our client there is no such geographical segmentation as our whole operation is basically done
by online so any client for anywhere can get our service. But currently we provide service
countrywide for our department.
As much as our customers are concerns Brands like BRAC, Singer, MG, Nestle are operating
countrywide where Jhatpot running the operation in metropolitan city such Dhaka, Chittagong.
4.3 Competitor
Competiotrs are the biggest threth for any company. Basicaly there is no fundamental difference
btween them except the strategy. They also provide the best solluion and want to be the market
leader. For digital marketing it is quite possible because lots of company are available to provide
the service. Digital marketing is the demand of now a days. Most people specially the new
generation like to connect through social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram and youtube)
rather than calling or meeting someone directly. This makes the digital marketing sector a strong
ground for business. There are a lot of competitors of Asiatic Digital, I divide them into two part
Direct and Indirect.
Direct Competitors:
Direct competitors are consider here by some critiracvi such as 24/7 hour service, Same target
segment and same sollution provider.
We are X:
We are X is a new agency providing the same solluiton like us with 24/7 hours service, query
management and other staff. They have some give national Brands like Robi, Airtel, Haier, Apex
Etc.
Genex:
Genex is one of our direct competitors claiming to provide 360 degree marketing solluion like
us.They operate the customer service of Grameenphone.
Indirect Competitors:
Indirect competiros are those who indirectly affects the operation of ours.
Trends Bird
Trends Bird is software company that makes website but indirectly they affect our bunisess so this
company consider as our indirect competitor.
Analyzen Bangladesh:
Analyzen Bangladesh also provide different type of digital marketing sollution including qurey
management. We consider them as our indirect competitor because some of our task are smiliar to
them in terms of handling the customer through social media.
Grey Bangladesh is know as there creative ads and TVC but as per as our depertment is concern it
is more appropicate to classified as our indirect competitors.
There are also many other competitors like Addcomm limited, Bitopi Communications, Mango
media etc.
CHAPTER 5: INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
(FIVE FORCES MODEL)
5. Industry Analysis
The marketing agency industry is kind of a risky business as it only ensures an above average
return. This is why the agencies always follow cost cutting financial strategy to operate their own
business. The industry is operating only based on the need of different company’s necessity to
reach their different customers and engage them with their products or services. Advertising
agencies are doing the innovative thing for their clients. Now, the digital marketing process has
come to the picture and agencies have big advantage on it as clients depend on them for advertising
their products and also display digitally. Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube,
Instagram are here to stay and there is going to be long time before they turn into fads. Technology
is growing rapidly and digital marketing is already going to be a part of it.
5.1.2 Substitutes
Alternatives to the existing services which are proftable or available for clients can chose to
switch. Those alternatives try to provide services with similar functions but at better quality and
minumum expense. The new agency and the other compitor agency are offering the clients of
Asiatic different way of service with lower cost.
Similar type of firms have tendency to create competition for dominating each other like media
agency. Riverly grows because of the scope for improvement and innovative work. Agencys are
competting by applying innovative stategy, also at lower cost. Better quality, lower cost, new
innovation are the result of riverly.
CHAPTER 6: MY EXPERIENCE ON
INTERNSHIP
6. Internship Experience/Observational Details
I worked with the Community Engagement (CE) Department of Asiatic Digital for three months
internship program. Community Engagement Department is more about keeping the customers
engaged in regular interaction using the social media platform (Facebook, Instagram). The goal is
to make the customers interested in the product and drive them to physical stores and online
purchase so that the sale increases. I have worked there as Executive for Community Engagement
where duty is to reply the query of the customer by using different type of tools and software.
First, we check the inbox of the Singer Bangladesh Facebook page, then read the query of the
customer. We analysis the query what information he is asking for.
Usually in the 2nd step we collect information from the official website of Singer Bangladesh or
the saved template which prepared by the team.
Final step is to reply the of the query through the tool paid for Singer Page which is Commengine.
The reply should be in the shortest possible time.
Our every team member has responsibility to compile each and every customer message in google
sheet in order to make the monthly report. This google sheet has four columns. Date, Customer
FB name, message content and issue which is done by us. Like one of our customer queries is
freeze related query so the issue should be fridge information. Issue is our important thing as in
monthly report it will be applied in excel and according to the information, we make power point
slide.
In the time the making of monthly report we have to export all comments of each post for the last
one month. We use “sociolfy” tool to export all comments from Facebook post. Inbox can be
exported from the tool. After compile all messages and comments, we make monthly report
through Microsoft excel and power point but as I am a new employee, I was not directly involved
in report but my team member trained me how to make this report with the help of power point
and Microsoft excel also with the sources of information.
7. Recommendation
The way of communication is becoming online base day by day specially in business sector. Since
online life promoting is creative and still there is a great deal to consider here, I have tried to show
a few suggestions that can help marks in internet-based life just as advanced firms like Asiatic
Digital to enrich later on as far as being more productive and successful. Recommendations are
referenced below:
Many brands begin web-based life showcasing before focusing on gathering actual target group.
So, first need of a brand is focusing on specific target group.
Customers continually attempting to keep the cost low via web-based networking media
showcasing which is one reason to disappointment of brands. Media agency like Asiatic should
motivate the brands to increase Funds on Social Media Marketing.
c) HR department is needed Enough Space to deliver important Papers: HR division should build
its space for administrative work along with other department.
From client service department to Community management and creative department of Asiatic
digital the communication should be stronger.
8. Conclusion
Asiatic is very prominent in terms of existence of digital marketing. I feel lucky that I have started
my career and Internship from Asiatic Digital. I have tried to give my best shot as an internee. This
is my first workplace a professional employee. I have created some great memories with my
coworkers and gathered plenty of experience of how an agency works Now I can spread this
experience and shine any digital marketing platform with honesty and dignity.
