Marketing, Advertisting & Communication in Iowa

I only worked there so far for 1 month and my colleagues who have worked there for about 1 year have got job promotions. I’m feeling sad and down about the whole thing, because I’ve worked very hard so far in 1 month. Is that normal? How can I overcome the feeling?

It is normal - internally you probably realise that you are just as good and try just as hard.

Try asking your management - why you did not get a promotion and what can you do about it to improve your skills and qualities for other promotions coming up.

Good luck

I am interested in Television and Film Advertising and Marketing. I am also interested in Film Production and all other aspects of Marketing. I even have a great idea on how to improve Telemarketing for the Marketers and the customers…. any advice is great.

For the most part, ad agencies are not going out of business. They are, however, rapidly changing with new technology and going away from the traditional points of reaching their markets. With recent advances in rotating electronic billboards, media-based cell phones (or on-the-go processors i.e. netbooks/ iPads), social networking sites, and several advances that will be made in the near future, advertising budgets are actually growing to meet the current demands in "new media" over the last couple of years (despite the recession) and will grow even more soon, but they are cutting back heavily on allocated expenditures on traditional TV commercial advertising, stand-alone magazine ads, and the "old" way of creating market awareness.

The biggest advice you can have right now is: follow the current technology trends because that is what is paving the way in advertising, production, and consumerism right now, more so than I have ever seen. There has been a huge spike in social media and computer integration with everything- from digital cameras, post workflows, broadcast, to how we will view this media and be reached at home or "out of home". It will be surprising for many people how quickly things will change in the next couple of years.

I’ve got this really weird homework task and I have to find out what advertising campaigns there are for missing people. Well, it actually says "research and document what adverts there already are about missing people".

I was wondering if anybody knew of any that would be easy to research? I need about a page, but even if I have just one or two tidbits of info I’ll know where to start looking. It’s just it’s not really something you can just type into google (despite my efforts) but any suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers x

Unscrupulous thieves have sent you this email and they are trying to part you from your hard earned cash. They will often ask you to call a premium rate number and keep you holding on whilst you rack up a huge phone bill. They are then paid a large proportion of this phone bill. They may ask you to divulge personal information about yourself or ask for your bank or credit card details. Do not divulge any such information under any circumstances. It is surprising how many innocent victims have been duped by these types of emails. Please remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace.

There are numerous reports of unsuccessful branding in magazines and books etc. What are some examples of unsuccessful branding efforts and explain each one.

I can only think of the good brands - HELP! Thank youuu

When Chevy introduced the Nova in Mexico, they kept the brand name "Nova" for the product. But "No va" means "doesn’t go" in Spanish. Some local research before launching the Nova in Mexico would have avoided that disaster!

There are several more branding mishap stories (see link below), but of course anytime the general public can’t remember the name of a product, a branding issue has occurred.

I need to write an essay about how young people are more vulnerable to marketers than an older age group (people in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s or older)?

1. Because young people are, by their youth and inexperience, more impressionable.
2. They become vulnerable because marketers look at the young as a special target, and are barraged with information. They are a special target for 2 things : most of them do not yet have solid brand preferences, and can still be won over, and most of all because they are the future adults and big spenders. Better to win them now.

I’ve always thought that the meaning of a busniess administration degree is so that an individual can start his/her own business. Is that true? What types of jobs are out there for people who just want to work in a business field?

A business administration degree qualifies you to manage a business that is already up and running, it does not qualify you to own a business. As for types of jobs for people who want to work in a business field, they range from mail room clerks to chairman of the board.

I just got my promotion status and I heard you can mail in your basic training stuff to a college and turn them into like 30 credit hours. What college do I go to and how does the process work?
No, I am not in the freakin National Guard, I just got my P and based on this months cutoff scores I only need like 30 more points to get E5 if the points stay around the same area. So I’m just trying to find ways of getting some quick and easy extra points.

No one in the "real" world cares about your basic training experience, even though they’ll smile in your face and pretend that they do. How does shooting an M-16 A-2 amd ruck marching have anything to do with civilan life? You got scamed by a recruiter…I assume you’re either in the National Guard or reservist based on the fact you’re attending college. The only college credit you’ll get for going through basic is for the PE class you’ll have to take.

I’d like to find other, relatively new, internet marketers to partner with so we can help each other grow our businesses. Maybe you know some resources to find such people. Specific blog or forum recommendations are appreciated.

I think it’s a good idea because it’s a way to mark your horses and has no known side effects. Tattoos and microchips have been shown to cause skin cancer in some situations.

But on the other hand is burning them, so I would feel bad about that. Then again it’s only for a few seconds, then they have a safe, and permanent mark.

What do you think?
I just realized that the tattooing and chipping hurts them when its happening to.

I don’t agree with Burning Branding, But I agree with Freeze branding. It has the same effect as Burning, except the spot goes numb so it only hurts for 2 seconds.
