Apple's overall marketing strategy aligns very closely with its corporate mission of "bringing the personal computing experience by constantly innovating [its] hardware, software and internet offerings" (Apple, 2014). Its marketing strategy focuses on building a premium brand that customers associate with: (1) innovation, (2) simple design, and (3) superior customer support. Apple leverages its marketing strategy through its unique STP (Segmentation Targeting Positioning) and robust USP (Unique Selling Proposition) (Exhibit 2A).
