The Relationship Between Marketing and Marketing Management

Think of marketing as the actions you take to promote your business, and marketing management as the overarching system to plan, execute, and refine those actions strategically.

Here's a simple analogy:

• Marketing is like cooking a delicious meal. It involves finding the right recipe (products/services), sourcing the best ingredients (market research), and carefully preparing the dish (advertising, promotions).

• Marketing Management is like being the head chef. They devise the overall menu (marketing strategy), manage the kitchen staff (marketing teams), ensure the budget is efficient, and keep track of customer feedback (measuring results) to perfect future meals.
