I recently completed the Positioning: What you need for a successful Market Strategy course certification offered by IE Business School on Coursera and I have to say, I was impressed. Here's my review:

Firstly, the course material was comprehensive and engaging. The instructors presented the content in a clear and concise manner, making it easy to follow along and understand. The videos were visually appealing, and the interactive exercises helped me reinforce my learning.

Secondly, the course structure was well-organized. The weekly modules were well-designed and the pacing was just right. The course was divided into manageable segments, which allowed me to work at my own pace while still being able to meet the weekly deadlines.

Thirdly, the assignments were practical and applicable. I appreciated how the assignments were designed to help me apply the concepts learned in the course to real-world scenarios. The feedback I received from my peers and the course instructors was also valuable in helping me improve my understanding of the concepts.Lastly, the course community was supportive and engaging. The discussion forums were active and allowed for meaningful interactions with my peers. The instructors were also responsive and provided helpful guidance throughout the course.

Overall, I highly recommend the Positioning: What you need for a successful Market Strategy course certification offered by IE Business School on Coursera. It provided me with the knowledge and skills needed to develop successful market strategies, and the course experience was enjoyable and rewarding.

non-informative. Besides, the final quiz contained questions on the topics which were covered in the Weeks 2 and 3 only. So I had to guess as the videos and articles did not provide answers to them. The video with Citroen experience disappointed me as it was in Spanish with no English translation (sub-titres were not helpful at all as they just stated "Foreign"). If you target international audience, you must assume that not everybody speaks Spanish. But in general it was very informative course with lots of interesting articles to read. Thank you.

The first course (Market Research and Consumer Behavior) was a scary one and set a very low bar. This one (Positioning) reassured me and was a good course to go through. Interesting material taken in an interesting manner. Kudos to the instructor too.

Points of improvement:

Translation/subtitles aren't good enough. I wanted to correct them, but the correction process isn't easy. In one video, a guy speaking in French had no subtitles below.

I was expecting more on the practical tools part - for eg: spider web perceptual maps

Well designed course, worth its price. There are major problems with subtitles throughout whole course (for example you can spot few times "niche" in subtitles, while the teacher says "needs"), some Spanish parts of videos (interview with guest during Week 4) are not translated at all. Sometimes explanations could be more intuitive. Some quiz questions throughout the course are poorly designed (misleading wording etc.).

Very helpful and informative. Points for improvement would be on general subtitles (and some texts on presentations) as wrong ones could be very misleading and the translation of non-English audio (case in point: interview with Citroen manager who was talking extensively about strategies and insights in foreign, not-translated language).

Most of the cases here only covers B2C. I didn't see much examples of B2B. I know the the principles in this positioning are the same for B2C and B2B, adding 1 or 2 examples will be great. Anyway I will try it out in my B2B applications.

I found the course very clear and interesting. Was very happy to watch video with actual marketing professionals. Littler suggestion: some lectures could be updated with 2016/2017 case studies.

Thanks a lot Professor.

The quiz could have better feedback, Say if there are multiple answers right to a question, then tell me which answer I chose are right, because else I'll be confused if what I studied was wrong from the beginning.

Quite a nice overview of the basics of positioning, defining value to customers and provides a nice high level view.

On the negative side: Some of the readings are hard to access on the warc site.

Very valuable information, which gives you clear idea about trends impact and how to start your marketing strategy

Explanation of professor is excellent when it comes to examples, but content wise

I found this course on positioning helpful and it also clears my doubts. I learn some key concepts that are new to me. Overall good course to learn about marketing esp positioning.

I love the course content which combined education videos with relevant and interesting industry articles. It gives you a good overview of how to go about positioning.

Very good presentation skills and quality of the informations presented. I would suggest to provide scripts/and presentations to ease the studying process.

Best regards

Am able to gain the main concepts of positioning and marketing strategies; though the quizzes are a bit tricky, the course and teaching are good and clear.

Informational course. I liked the first one in this series a bit more. Also, I feel like the quiz questions were "so so" in their clarity. Just my opinion.

Very informational. Could be a bit more interactive and with peer-reviewed assessment to be more challenging but overall good course.

I enjoyed thos course. It plays a gigantic role in my business. However, I do feel I was misgraded a few times in some courses.

Great education with good articles-videos and real life examples.Thank you for making this education much more enjoyable.

A really informative course giving a big picture of what devising a market strategy looks like.

a veces un poco difícil acceder al material de lectura.. pero el curso está muy bien

A good introductory course! But we may need more business cases and interactions.

It was very usefull . It added a lot to my knowledge .Thank you very much

The couse is an excellent one but the audio need to be worked on.

Course was good. However, they didn't give the PPTs in this one
