Marketing simulation FAQ

What is a marketing simulation?

A marketing simulation is an online learning tool where students run the marketing of a virtual company: they analyze market research, choose target segments, set prices and build campaigns, and the market responds to every decision. Hubro's marketing simulations are customizable, run inside your LMS and take 4 to 12 hours of class time.

Which Hubro simulation fits a Principles of Marketing course?

The Hubro Marketing Simulation. Students analyze segments, build a marketing mix and create products around customer needs, which maps directly onto a principles syllabus. A dedicated bundle edition pairs it with Tracy L. Tuten's Principles of Marketing for a Digital Age textbook.

What is the difference between the Marketing, Strategic Marketing and Digital Marketing simulations?

The Hubro Marketing Simulation covers the fundamentals: segmentation, the marketing mix and pricing for one company. The Hubro Strategic Marketing Simulation moves up a level: students build and position a portfolio of restaurant brands and choose where to expand. The Hubro Digital Marketing Simulation is channel-focused: SEO, paid search, social media, email and analytics in one connected platform.

How long does a marketing simulation take to run?

Between 4 and 12 hours of class time, depending on the simulation and the number of rounds you run. You can scale the rounds up or down, from an intensive day to a schedule spread across a full semester.

Do the simulations run inside Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard or Brightspace?

Yes. Every Hubro simulation runs inside Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard and Brightspace, with assignments delivered and grades synced through the LMS. Students can also join by link.

Can I customize the simulation content for my course?
