What is Marketing Procurement and how it has been impacted by COVID-19?

 

Procurement is a necessary contributor to the marketing strategies and campaigns of any company, as it involves the purchase supporting products and services. Marketing procurement is essential to the success of any company and addresses the needs of the four P’s of marketing – product, price, place, and promotion. This process covers a wide variety of purchases, and supports categories including sponsorship and partnership contracts, advertisement, print marketing, and more. During the COVID-19 pandemic, marketing across industries changed significantly.
