Marketing:this is about communicating the value of a product, service or brand to customers or consumers for the purpose of promoting or selling that product, service, or brand.

These communications can of course be either positive or negative.

The various activities involved in handling the above mentioned comprises the marketing activities. 

Organization:this is an entity comprising multiple people, such as an institution or an association, that has a collective goal and is linked to an external environment.
