ANGLIA RUSKIN UNIVERSITY GENERIC ASSESSMENT CRITERIA AND
MARKING STANDARDS: LEVEL 5
Level 5 reflects continuing development from Level 4. At this level students are not fully autonomous but are able to take
esponsibility for their own learning with some direction. Students are expected to locate an increasingly detailed theoretical
knowledge of the discipline within a more general intellectual context, and to demonstrate this through forms of expression
which go beyond the merely descriptive or imitative. Students are expected to demonstrate analytical competence in terms both
of problem identification and resolution, and to develop their skill sets as required.

ASSIGNMENT QUESTION
Choose one of the following companies:
Food Retailers
Hotels
Aldi UK
Hilton
Waitrose
Premier Inn
Iceland
Travelodge UK
If you choose any other company you will be graded 0.
Use a portfolio approach (visuals and written commentary) to demonstrate how four of the seven marketing mix elements the company has used in the UK since 2019 reflect how it divides the market (Segmentation), who it is seeking to serve (Targeting), and how it wants to be perceived by the target market segment (Positioning). (40 marks) Take pictures or use screen shots to evidence your findings. MAKE SURE THAT ANY SCREENSHOTS ARE WITHIN THE LAST THREE YEARS OR YOU WILL LOSE MARKS. ALSO ENSURE THEY ARE ONLY UK BASED.
· Write about the Segmentation bases the company uses, the parts of the segment they are Targeting and their probable Positioning.
· Research any four of the marketing mix elements (P’s) that are visible to the public and consider how they are used to reinforce/ underpin the company’s STP. Choose four that you will write about and support with visual evidence.
· Submissions that put the P’s in a table were not as strong as others so this format is not recommended.
· Here are some questions you can ask yourself under each of the marketing mix categorises and remember to focus on four:
· Promotional Mix and Activity. This will likely be the most visible marketing mix element, and it is advised you include it in your assessment. Remember this is the only marketing mix tool with its own sub group. You only need to include the ones you think are most important to the company, NOT ALL TEN.
· Advertising (where and how do they advertise? what are the messages/
