Learning Objective
The Tim Hortons Brier case can be used in an undergraduate or graduate marketing course with a specific emphasis on promotions and/or integrated communications. It may also be used for a sports marketing class. The case is designed to be used as a standalone case, but could also fit within a multi-case module dealing with sports or events marketing. The case is well suited to an out-of-class assignment where the deliverable is either (a) a complete integrated marketing communications plan from January until the start of the Brier or (b) a series of advertisements that are to be rolled out monthly to promote the event. In the case of the latter, the emphasis would be on the creative dimension and aligning it with the Brier’s stated business goals (e.g. generating awareness and excitement, filling seats, etc.).
