Hilton Vs Marriott (this is not an essay, it is a mock exam and I have been told that I just need bullet points as answers)
Q1: Introduce & describe the Marriott's activity, online and offline. In broad terms. Justify your choice (why Marriott? because Marriott and Hilton are both luxury...).
Q2:Website: evaluation of its content reflecting on how the theories from Digital Marketing apply.
Provide URL to the website selected.
Consider & discuss:
· What are the performance drivers for using the website (i.e. customer acquisition, branding, service quality etc.)
· What services are offered (brochure ware only, possibility to purchase online, customer support, technical information available)
· The website's communication patterns and its strategic use; the website's appropriateness and that of the content shared for the target audience
· Beyond the website, how is the website promoted (provide few examples of marketing communication tools and channels, both online and offline)
· Effectiveness of the website's design (coherence, complexity, legibility; site style and visual design; navigation)
· Evaluate the quality of the information content (accuracy, level of details, navigation, accessibility, relevance)
Q3: Conduct and present a social footprint audit for the competitor
Q4: Make a maximum of three recommendations to Hilton, based on your evaluation of Marriott's website and social media footprint. Make a clear link between the analysis and recommendations.
