device market. The company needs a comprehensive marketing strategy to differentiate itself from the
competition, build brand awareness and recognition, and increase sales. ## Situational Analysis Protégé
BioMedical (PM) is a startup medical device company that is looking to enter the competitive medical device
market and establish itself as a major player. Despite its innovative products, the company is facing several
challenges including limited resources, a low brand awareness and recognition, and a lack of a comprehensive
marketing strategy. To overcome these challenges, PM needs to develop a marketing strategy that will
differentiate itself from the competition, build brand awareness and recognition, and increase sales. The
company's current marketing efforts are limited to traditional media, such as TV and radio ads, but these are not
having a significant impact on sales. Moreover, PM is struggling to reach a wide audience effectively, due to a
lack of resources and expertise. Additionally, the company is facing increasing competition from established
industry players. In order to overcome these challenges, PM needs to develop a comprehensive marketing
strategy that is both cost-efficient and has the potential to reach a wide audience, both locally and globally.
Furthermore, the strategy should include targeted, creative promotional campaigns and strategies to build brand
awareness and recognition. Lastly, the strategy should be long-term and have the potential to increase sales over
time. ## Decision Criteria In order to develop an effective marketing strategy for PM, the following criteria
should be considered: - Cost-effectiveness: the strategy should be cost-efficient and have maximum ROI. -
Reach: the strategy should have the potential to reach a wide audience, both locally and globally. - Brand

AB: complete the case analysis above from alternatives and then continue further on till the end

Chatsonic: ## Description of Rejected Alternatives - Status Quo: Continuing PM's current approach of limited
marketing efforts would not result in PM gaining a competitive edge in the market, as their competitors are
already utilizing digital and offline marketing to a greater extent. Additionally, the limited resources and
expertise of PM would make it difficult to reach a wide audience efficiently. - Increase Offline Presence: This
approach requires significant resources and expertise that the company does not currently possess. Additionally,
traditional media may not be able to reach a wide enough audience, as the target audience is increasingly
shifting towards digital platforms. - Partnership with Industry Leaders: This approach is expensive and risky as
it would require PM to give up control of their marketing strategy. Additionally, it may not lead to an increase in
brand awareness and recognition. ## Recommendation The recommended approach is to increase PM's digital
presence by shifting the focus to digital marketing, through establishing a strong online presence, developing
targeted campaigns, and utilizing emerging technology like artificial intelligence. This approach is cost-efficient
and has the potential to reach a wide audience, both locally and globally. To increase brand awareness and
recognition, PM should focus on creating targeted ad campaigns that are tailored to the company's target
audience. Additionally, the company should develop content marketing strategies, such as blog posts, videos,
and podcasts, to further engage with their audience. To maximize the reach and impact of these campaigns, PM
should take advantage of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. Finally,
PM should continuously monitor and evaluate the impact of their marketing efforts and make adjustments
accordingly. This will allow them to optimize their strategies and maximize their ROI. ## Conclusion The
recommended approach, which is to increase PM's digital presence and focus on developing targeted campaigns
and utilizing emerging technologies, will allow the company to differentiate itself from the competition, build
brand awareness and recognition, and increase sales. By continuously evaluating and optimizing their strategies,
PM can ensure that their marketing efforts are cost-efficient and have a long-term impact.
