Marketing:
Alphabet’s Google provides a unique advantage with its vast
opportunities when it comes to utilizing it as a significant tool in our
marketing strategy.
❖ Youtube premium and Youtube TV : this platform of Google allows VR
gaming to capture a wider audience share with the ability to market itself with
both audio and visual marketing campaign.
Marketing:

Visibility of marketing content is as much of an importance as the


content itself and Google again helps to bridge that void with its
search engine.
❖ When customers are looking for a new product or service they tend to rely on
search engines like Google to provide such information due to the
convenience and ease of having all the information at their fingertips. Google
provides that leverage when it comes to delivery and visibility of such
content via its widely used search engine that we as a company can take
advantage of.
Marketing:

Continuous investment in research and development are key drivers for any companies
success and Google strives to realize such with much of its operating expenses focused
on R&D.
❖ Customer demand and expectation of service changes constantly and not to
mention businesses are constantly rethinking their approach as to how to capture
greater market space, but are at times unable to act on those due to lack of
resources. It is therefore, imperative that we build a marketing strategy that can
provide us with the ability to effectively market our services, regardless of the
changing marketing infrastructure and resource constraints by leveraging
Google’s robust R&D capabilities.
