What is Mission Marketing?
What is Mission Marketing?
Mission mareting is where an organization’s mission is promoted as a core part of its marketing strategy.
Within a DCE project, this might follow something along the lines of promoting a DCE project’s purpose, aim and goals to the public, to help to spread the message as well as ensuring the success of the project.
Generally, we can create this by creating a mission statement and a vision statement.
Mission Statement vs Vision Statement
A mission statement focuses on the purpose of your DCE project. It can be viewed as what are the primary objectives of your DCE project, and why have you embarked on this journey.
A vision statement captures more of the emotional aspects of your project, as well as providing a vision for the future. A vision statement provides a clear view to workers, or stakeholders on the purpose and meaning of your DCE project.
