  • Mini Cooper: Marketing Strategy, Digital Marketing, Brand & Ethics
    MINI COOPER: MARKETING STRATEGY, DIGITAL MARKETING, BRAND & ETHICS 10.2478/cris-2013-0005 MINI COOPER: MARKETING STRATEGY, DIGITAL MARKETING, BRAND & ETHICS MARIIA MOISEIEVA The report is designed to examine, analyse, and evaluate where appropriately the current Mini Cooper’s marketing strategy, its digital marketing initiative, branding, and the importance of ethical values in Mini Cooper as well as other organisations. That is important for understanding of the practical applications of marketing is achieved by applying theory to them. It is determined that Mini’s marketing strategy has shifted in terms of targeting and brand positioning. As previously it was an affordable iconic British car, now it has become a cool luxury car dominantly for a young segment. Its inter- national marketing strategy is differentiated in a way that a brand is built up on the historical iconic image of Mini for the UK and associated market, but it is not associated with any values in the past for the US customers. Overall, Mini’s marketing strategy is considered to be innovative, creative, and sometimes ‘silly’, which is of great value for its young energetic target audience. Digital marketing initiative also corresponds to the latest IT and social trends worldwide by ‘digitalising’ marketing initiatives and active social networking with the consumers. Brand is a core competence and ‘everything’ for Mini. Marketing is centered on its brand, not vice versa. An analysis of the Mini’s strategy shows that it is efficient in terms of its branding strategy. Ethical values also play an important role for Mini as well as the other organisations.

  • The New Mini Countryman Plug-In Hybrid
    THE NEW MINI COUNTRYMAN PLUG-IN HYBRID. 40 RUGGEDLY ECO-FRIENDLY. The new MINI Countryman Plug-in Hybrid combines an electric motor and battery with a conventional petrol engine to offer drivers the best of both worlds. For short trips and inner-city driving, it glides silently and emission-free up to 26 miles* on battery power. Any 230-volt power supply fully charges the battery in 150 minutes at most, using electricity harvested from completely carbon-neutral, regenerative sources. For longer journeys, motorway stretches and short sprints, the MINI Twin Power Turbo petrol engine takes over and regenerative braking charges the battery. The result is consistently better performance and fuel economy, however varied your driving habits may be. * Fuel consumption is determined in accordance with the ECE driving cycle (as defined in directive 80∕1268∕EEC), made up of approximately one third urban and two thirds extra-urban driving (based on the distance covered). CO2 emissions are measured separately from fuel consumption. Figures relate to standard-specification vehicles, and may vary significantly where optional equipment (including larger tyres) is fitted. Figures for fuel consumption and CO2 emissions may vary depending on the wheels and tyres fitted. Figures are obtained in a standardised 41 test cycle using a combination of battery power and petrol fuel after the battery had been fully charged. They are intended for comparisons between vehicles and may not be representative of what a user achieves under usual driving conditions. The new MINI Countryman Plug-in Hybrid is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle that requires mains electricity for charging.
