Functional Marketing is the day-to-day marketing tasks that drive business goals—like product development, promotion, and distribution. It focuses on how marketing is executed.

In marketing, a functional description outlines the practical, specific tasks and activities a marketing team performs to achieve business goals. It focuses on the “how” of marketing, emphasizing the day-to-day responsibilities and functions involved in various aspects like product development, promotion, and distribution.

  • Goals and Objectives:
