1 24736 Marketing Communications SPRING 2019 Subject Coordinator: Dr. Valeria Noguti ASSIGNMENT #1 (INDIVIDUAL) Analysis of a marketing campaign for a meat substitute product Value 30% Overview The assignment requires you to analyse a marketing communications campaign within a specific product category. In doing so, you will understand the managerial decisions that were made with respect to a campaign and appreciate the need to plan marketing communications in a comprehensive and integrated manner. Details Select a communication piece (e.g., TV, digital, or print ad, or social media ad, guerrilla marketing material, etc.) from a marketing campaign related to meat substitute products. The product should be designed to resemble meat (any animal meat, i.e., beef, chicken, pork, fish, etc.), though it does not have to be intended to be so similar that people may not detect that it is not real meat when they taste it. The piece has to mention specifically that the product is targeted at replacing real meat. For example, VBites Cheatin’ sells “Beef Style Slices” making prominent in their packaging that it is “a delicious meat-free alternative”. At the same time, products that are not similar to meat are not suitable options for this assignment. For example, an ad for a veggie pattie cannot be chosen for this assignment, unless it specifically mentions the product is designed to resemble meat. A veggie burger, on the other hand, can be used in the assignment as the word ‘burger’ is associated with the idea of real meat. Overall, any non-real-meat product that is labelled with any word that denotes meat can be used for this assignment, e.g., burger, meat, beef, chicken, etc. Usually they appear with modifying words such as in the example above “Beef Style”, and most will mention some related attribute such as that they are “100% plant based”, or “Vegetarian product”, or “Vegan”, etc. The piece can be from anywhere around the world but note that in case it is not in English you are required to provide full translation in your submission. You cannot choose Beyond Meat, Impossible Foods, or Nuggs, but any other brand adering to the description above should be fine. Ask your workshop facilitator if in doubt. 2 You are required to develop a critique of elements of the communication piece for the brand (i.e., discuss both positive and negative aspects) in terms of the communications objectives, creative strategies and tactics used, as well as the target customer and category positioning (mental partitioning) involved. In particular, look at positioning (market needs) and customer persona(s). Essentially you are required to apply many class concepts. Make sure to conclude with a paragraph stating overall how successful you think the campaign is in reaching the objectives you can infer they want to achieve, and, discussing at least one change (specifically to the material you c ...

Purpose: The goal of this exercise is to observe a 'cultural scene' as an anthropologist would (i.e. based on everything you have learned in the course to-date). The student will analyze their observations in terms of themes from the subfield of cultural anthropology such as how it helps frame our societies (family, lifestyle, lineage, language and communication) and, in some ways, its evolution. Description: Culture as we have discussed in our readings and lecture notes is an incredible advantage that has allowed humans to enter almost every niche in nature. The development and maintenance of culture is what sets humans apart from other species. Culture varies by time and location. For this assignment, students will be observing a particular setting for 25 minutes, writing up your observations, and then analyzing them. Directions: In a 3-5 page written assignment, answer the following questions. 1) 1) Discuss culture and its importance to anthropology. a. This should include defining culture using the text and/or lecture notes. 2) 2) Choose a time and location for where/when you are going to conduct your observations of an ethnographic scene a. Examples of Possible Ethnographic Scenes i. The coming and going of shoppers in a mall ii. Getting on and riding the bus iii. Buying coffee at a coffee shop iv. Crossing at a cross-walk 3) 3) Go to the specified location and proceed with your observations. a. The easiest way to do this is to find a place to sit quietly and to simply watch what is going on. i. Please do not talk to or interview people during this time. b. Take handwritten (recommended) notes in a small notebook and/or mental notes of: i. details about the scene itself (time of day, lighting, furniture, plants, sounds, temperature, smell, vibe/energy, etc) ii. the people around you, not only their behavior but general information about their characteristics (age, race/ethnicity, gender, class, etc) iii. what you see people doing 1. this is the heart of your description and should provide the instructor of how the people you saw were involved in the scene you were observing iv. your thoughts and feelings while observing may be a brief section of the paper. 4) 4) When your 25 minutes are finished, leave the scene. In a quiet place, fill out your notes. Be sure you include more details about the topics from step 3. a. At this time, you should start to think about what themes, patterns, or conclusions you saw. This step is critical. b. Type up your notes (you will add them to the end of your write-up) 5) 5) Write a 3 - 5 page reaction paper about your observations Your paper should include a. Discussion about and definition of culture b. a ‘thick description’ of the location i. i.e. building you were in (what is the architecture like), descriptions of people there (in terms of characteristics: age, race/ethnicity, gender, socio-.

Q 1 Over the past 16 years, only two building permits for new housing construction have been issued in Sedgwick County, Colorado. This is consistent with the depopulation (particularly of younger persons) and economic diminution that is attributed to a declining rainfall since the 1970s. These are quantitative details. It is unclear how much of the depopulation was due to perceived opportunities elsewhere, to copycat or fad behavior, and to perceived change in local economic opportunity. Is qualitative analysis more likely to identify the leading cause of Sedgwick County's out-migration than are quantitative econometric methods? Why or why not?

See optional textbook for ideas: Davis and Shaw, ed. (2013) Introduction to Information Science and Technology. You are citing others’ ideas mainly as in a “literature review “and are not required to have original research or ideas. So your conclusion represents a synthesis of your research and conclusions. ( **Longer is better.) Because you have “research” and peer-reviewed publications to consider, the topic areas vary and include retrieval theory, knowledge management and information architecture, as well as user behavior, theories and models covering computer interactions, cognition, psychology, and human factors. The IS field of study includes search engines and meta-data analysis; statistical formulas and quantitative pattern analyses are evaluated. Computer-based technologies are investigated in IS to improve data base administration and information systems through knowledge-based systems (expert systems), artificial intelligence, decision support systems, data mining tools, encryption/decryption, system security (access, viruses, etc.), networking (handheld, wireless applications), collaboration, and object-oriented programming. Current topics: healthcare databases, social networking, spam, wireless, apps, informatics, blogs, wikis, RFIDs, grids. DEVELOP A THESIS STATEMENT based on what you know that is related to news or a scholarly reference(s) you read. Thesis Example : “The need for effective network security has increased since 9/11; however , the technology used by hackers advances each year ahead of IT efforts. Therefore , this paper will explore proven security approaches.” That is, use a 3-Part THESIS STRUCTURE: Positive statement ( theory or observed “truth”) However statement… (problem to research) Therefore statement… (approach you intend to use to resolve) FINAL PAPER REQUIREMENTS Write a 10-12 page paper (including charts, figures, bulleted lists, and other graphics; as well as reference list or bibliography).See outline and rubric below. Suggested Outline : (Note that illustrations such as charts or figures are very good to have; a cognitive style issue.) I. Abstract (write this last to summarize) II. Thesis statement III. Literature review (or background on topic) IV. Argument/discussion of research V. Results and conclusion VI. References (sources cited/bibliography in APA style) VII. (optional) appendices (supporting material) .

Purpose: The purpose of Draft 3 is to build upon Draft 2 and to move your drafting process forward so that you can add (1) a body, and (2) a conclusion , and (3) an abstract to your paper (due Unit/Week 8), making it a cohesive, whole academic paper. Description: In this assignment, you will take Draft 2 (introduction and review of literature), written in Unit VI, and add the body of your paper . Your body paragraphs should contain the six elements indicated below and be developed in an appropriate manner. If the body does not contain these elements, it is likely you have not fully developed the body, and this lack of development can severely impact your grade for this assignment. You will need to write at least four body paragraphs and incorporate five academic sources for this assignment. The paragraphs should be thorough and cover all the listed elements. Your Draft 3 (introduction, review of literature, and body) should include the elements listed below. Elements: Your grade for Draft 3 is based on your inclusion of various elements and the overall quality of your writing. Your Draft 3 must contain the following elements. 1. Cover page and APA formatting: The running head should include up to fifty (50) characters from the title of the paper, along with a sequential page number in the upper right-hand corner. 2. Introduction: Using the comments that you received on your Draft 2, revise your introduction . To avoid pitfalls to writing an introductory paragraph, review the Checklist “Avoid Certain Mistakes in the Introduction” on p. 495 of Strategies for Writing Successful Research Papers . 3. Review of literature: Using the comments that you received on your Draft 1, revise your review of literature, and include it with this newest draft. 4. Body paragraphs: Each paragraph of the body of your Research Paper should be a cohesive unit. It should be tight, but developed. It should serve a function, and its purpose should always be to bolster the thesis. Therefore, you should use the following order for each paragraph in the body. a. Topic sentence: This sentence summarizes the entire paragraph in one strong, well-written sentence, and it directly supports the thesis statement. b. Explanation of topic sentence (1-2 sentences): Often times there is more to be said about the topic sentence, more explanation that is necessary in order for it to be a clear idea, so there are usually a few sentences that follow the topic sentence that explicate the idea more for the reader. These sentences not only “unpack” the topic sentence, but they also anticipate the evidence that will be used to support the topic sentence, usually indirectly. c. Introduction to evidence (1-2 sentences): No piece of evidence (quotation, example, paraphrase, etc.) should be dropped into a paragraph without first introducing it. An introduction might include the title of the source, the author, and/or a short description of .

Published on The Root (http://www.theroot.com) ! Why I Am a Male Feminist By: Byron Hurt Posted: March 16, 2011 at 12:24 AM The word turns off a lot of men (insert snarky comment about man-hating feminazis here) -- and women. But here's why black men should be embracing the "f" word. When I was a little boy, my mother and father used to argue a lot. Some mornings, I would wake up to the alarming sound of my parents arguing loudly. The disagreement would continue until my father would yell with finality, "That is it! I'm not talking about this anymore!" The dispute would end right there. My mother never got the last word. My dad's yelling made me shrink in fear; I wanted to do something to make him stop raging against my mother. In those moments, I felt powerless because I was too small to confront my father. I learned early that he had an unfair advantage because of his gender. His size, strength and power intimidated my mother. I never saw my father hit her, but I did witness how injurious his verbal jabs could be when they landed on my mom's psyche. My father didn't always mistreat my mother, but when he did, I identified with her pain, not his bullying. When he hurt her, he hurt me, too. My mother and I had a special bond. She was funny, smart, loving and beautiful. She was a great listener who made me feel special and important. And whenever the going got tough, she was my rock and my foundation. One morning, after my father yelled at my mom during an argument, she and I stood in the bathroom together, alone, getting ready for the day ahead of us. The tension in the house was as thick as a cloud of dark smoke. I could tell that my mother was upset. "I love you, Ma, but I just wish that you had a little more spunk when you argue with Daddy," I said, low enough so my father couldn't hear me. She looked at me, rubbed my back and forced a smile. I so badly wanted my mother to stand up for herself. I didn't understand why she had to submit to him whenever they fought. Who was he to lay down the law in the household? What made him so special? I grew to resent my father's dominance in the household, even though I loved him as dearly as I loved my mother. His anger and intimidation shut down my mother, sister and me from freely expressing our opinions whenever they didn't sit well with his own. Something about the inequity in their relationship felt unjust to me, but at that young age, I couldn't articulate why. One day, as we sat at the kitchen table after another of their many spats, my mother told me, "Byron, don't ever treat a woman the way your father treats me." I wish I had listened to her advice. As I grew older and got into my own relationships with girls and women, I sometimes behaved as I saw my father behave. I, too, became defensive and verbally abusive whenever the girl or woman I was dating criticized or challenged me. I would belittle my girlfriends by scrutinizing their weight or th.
