N.B. This detailed structure has been provided as there are no past examples to show you, as this is a new assessment starting this module delivery.  

Remember to integrate the academic models and theories into your project by applying them to the brand case. You will need to appropriately reference to these models using Harvard referencing style – in-text and in the final reference list.  

You are encouraged to use (appropriately image referenced) images and figures to help you illustrate your case study. These images and figures do not count towards the word count, nor do tables, references (in-text and reference list), headings, subheadings or titles.
