Where marks are usually lost

The text has odd grammar ('is comprehensive document', 'in accomplished') – read it exactly as printed without pausing to fix it. Stress com·pre·HEN·sive on the third syllable, ac·TIV·i·ties, ac·COM·plished, de·SCRIP·tion, ob·JEC·tives on the second, and AD·ver·tis·ing on the first. Keep the -s in outlines, efforts, describes, objectives, includes and the -ed in involved, accomplished.

General tip: marketing appears five times; say it the same way each time and don't let it get faster or mumbled on the repeats.
