Our assignment for class was sponsored by Cotton Incorporated. Our challenge was to make a marketing plan for Cotton Incorporated to increase cotton consumption in Colombia. This is our marketing plan and strategy to achieve that goal in Colombia. We focused on capitalizing on well known Colombian parts of society such as Totto, soccer, and cabs. We also focused on creating a realistically streamlined approach.
