13. OVERVIEW?
POSITIVES
• KC MAG EVENT IS EASILY ACCESSIBLE VIA
INTERNET WHILE OTHERS ARE NOT
• ALSO, EASILY ACCESSIBLE TO PURCHASE TICKETS
• OVERALL RISING STARS IS AN EVENT I WOULD LIKE
TO GO TO! LOOKS MORE ENTERTAINING AND LIVELY
• INGRAM DOESN’T SEEM TO HAVE AN EVENT ABOUT
CELEBRATING THE WINNERS… JUST COLUMNS IN
THEIR MAGAZINE’S ANNUAL SPECIAL EDITIONS.
NEGATIVES
• BUSINESS JOURNAL BANQUETS/ AWARDS ARE SEEMINGLY
WELL SPONSORED AND ORGANIZED. (PICTURED EVENT PAGES
ON THEIR WEBSITE)
• MORE LIKE A AWARD CEREMONY I WOULDN’T LIKE TO SIT
THROUGH. HOWEVER IT MAY SEEM THAT THESE EVENTS WILL
BE TAKEN MORE SERIOUSLY IN A BUSINESS CONTEXT (NOT
ENTERTAINMENT)
• ALSO, I THINK THE LOGO TO “WOMAN WHO MEAN BUSINESS”
LOOKS VERY SIMILAR TO KC INFLUENTIAL WOMAN! (GREY
&RED)
