These are to be used as the focus for making marketing mix decisions.   Random Marketing Random Marketing adds an element of chance--or gamification--to your teaching.  With this tool, you (or your students) can randomly select a "faux" brand, target audience, and/or element of promotion for an assignment. You can randomly select these components for individual students, groups, or for an entire class activity.  And of course, we have included several assignments to make life a bit easier for you! Brands4You Brands4You offers your students several options for "clients."  Included is a brief description of the product/service and several brand assets that can be downloaded.  These brands take the place of having students "pick a business." Now, you know the materials they create for their client will be 100% original--because there is nothing on the internet to copy! New brands will be added periodically. In each of my marketing classes, I have students select a brand for which they will be the account manager, digital marketing director, etc.  Students focus their creative efforts on the same brand throughout the year. Somewhat surprisingly, they become "connected" to their faux brand! Either/Or It's like Would You Rather. Students are provided two options, and they explain their decision. In each of these use cases, you should project the website to be visible to the class. While it can be used without projecting, I believe this arrangement makes it more "real."  Deal a card and have the students discuss their choice. ​Deal a card and have the students split into two groups and "debate" the answer. ​Split the class into two groups. Deal a card and assign each group one of the choices (there is much to be learned by defending a position you are assigned!) Rewind Your students can review the class terminology on demand.
