    Hello s_iling,

    Welcome to KHE

    First of all,the bad news. you wont be able to find the marketing strategies written down on a piece of paper or on the internet. You will have to do some work.

    The Good news, it can be done.

    what you need to do is:

    Choose two companies (obvious)
    then put there name in to google.com this will give you information. Read the info, and write down all the things like price, promotion, good things they have done like give to charity, and bad things like cooperate scandal.

    then read press releases, tv ads, news paper ads, radio ads.

    Do a SWOT, find there strengths, weakness, opportunitys, threats

    here is a template:
