Create an outline of the jobs and positions that make up a marketing department. You can plot the positions in an organizational chart or in a word processing program.
Write an outline of the paper. The outline should start with an introduction. The next section should be a description of what a marketing department is and how the marketing department integrates with the other departments in the organization. The subsequent sections of the outline should contain a section for each position in the marketing department. End the outline with a conclusion, any appendices and a bibliography for the sources you use to write the term paper.
Gather research and class notes. Compile and put together your research materials and notes. You should only pull together the information you need to fill in the details for each section of the term paper.
Write the first draft. Using the outline, write out the details for each section in paragraph form. For example, for the vice president position in a marketing department, you should include that this person is in charge of the entire department and that all the marketing employees report to him. You may also list the alternate names for this position, such as marketing director, and describe this person's role, which is the strategic planning of the organization's marketing, products, and services.
Review and revise the draft version to bring it to the final version. Read your term paper out loud. Make changes to grammar, spelling or sentence structure as you read through the paper. You may also want to give it to someone you know who works in a marketing department to help fact check the paper and get feedback.
