Data Driven Marketing Strategy + ExecutionJesse Trahan
Effective marketing begins with research. And effective enrollment marketing means knowing your target aucience from the earliest possible stages on through enrollment, known in higher education as the enrollment funnel.
Jesse Trahan’s marketing strategy is based on end-to-end audience analysis that begins with detailed Google Analytics reports that are accompanied by Quantcast’s proprietary web visitor demographic algorhythmns and continues with heavy analysis of prospect, applicant and enrolled populations.
This data informs audience selection, which in turn informs media strategy and messaging factors including content, tone and visuals. A marketing campaign is created to raise interest, increase awareness and, ultimately, drive qualified suspects to the web where they become prospects and formally enter the enrollment funnel.

There have been two financings greater than $10 million (Cyberplex and One

million and $8.3 million, respectively. The average value thus far in May is
$5.9 million, slightly below the average value for April of $6.5 million on
21 financings. The March average was $6.6 million on 24 financings. Except
for two deals (Kaixin001.com and Collective Media), all were below $20
million for the last three months and a total of four deals were greater

Data Driven Marketing Strategy + ExecutionJesse Trahan
Effective marketing begins with research. And effective enrollment marketing means knowing your target aucience from the earliest possible stages on through enrollment, known in higher education as the enrollment funnel.
Jesse Trahan’s marketing strategy is based on end-to-end audience analysis that begins with detailed Google Analytics reports that are accompanied by Quantcast’s proprietary web visitor demographic algorhythmns and continues with heavy analysis of prospect, applicant and enrolled populations.
This data informs audience selection, which in turn informs media strategy and messaging factors including content, tone and visuals. A marketing campaign is created to raise interest, increase awareness and, ultimately, drive qualified suspects to the web where they become prospects and formally enter the enrollment funnel.
Even in a down budget year, marketers are spending more on Web 2.0. But most are just entering the game. Download this executive summary for best practices and insights including:
* Determining your participation strategy is crucial
* Web 2.0 must be integrated with “traditional” marketing channels
* Web 2.0 is not winning new business but it is having an impact

10 01 05 Web 2.0 Weekly Special EditionDavid Shore
TOP FIVE DEALS OF 2009
The Top Five: Despite over 400 transactions in 2009, it wasn’t hard choosing our Top Five transactions for 2009 (with a little bit of massaging). Our Top Five transactions are: Facebook’s $200 million D round, Twitter’s $100 million E round, the $2.25 billion acquisition of Skype, the almost $1 billion in financing/M&A for Social Gaming companies (including Zynga, Playdom and Playfish), and the incredible per unique visitor value ascribed in the financing for location-based social networking company Gowalla.
• Facebook raises $200 million D round: In May 2009, Facebook announced a new financing round – raising $200 million from Digital Sky Technologies. The transaction gave Digital Sky a 1.96% stake, valuing Facebook at $10 billion. This financing brought the company’s total to $678.2 million. This was also the largest financing we recorded in 2009.
• Twitter raises $100 million E round: The third largest financing round in 2009 belonged to Twitter – a $100 million Series E in September 2009. The financing reportedly valued Twitter at $1 billion – a remarkable valuation for a company that has not yet formalized a revenue model! More recently, it has been reported that Twitter was actually profitable in 2009 due to the $25 million in search deals it signed in October with Google and Microsoft.
• Skype is acquired for $2.025 billion: By far the largest overall transaction in our database in 2009 was the acquisition of a majority position (65%) in Skype from eBay for $2.025 billion – announced in September 2009. The transaction was completed in November 2009. eBay had purchased Skype for $4.0 billion in 2005.
• Social Gaming financing activity reaches ~$1 billion (Zynga, Playfish, Playdom, etc.): Perhaps the hottest sector overall in 2009 was Social Gaming. This segment of the Web 2.0 market had the third highest number of deals (39) and generated almost $1 billion in financing/M&A activity – the second highest total overall (Figure 1). Three transactions in particular stand out in the social gaming space – the $400 million acquisition of Playfish (by Electronic Arts, November 2009), the $180 million financing of Zynga (Series C, December 2009, by Digital Sky), and the $43 million first round of financing for Playdom (New Enterprise lead, November 2009, Series A). There has been much speculation as to how the larger social gaming companies will proceed, with potential IPO or further strategic M&A most likely.
• Hottest new sector? Location-based social networks (Foursquare, Gowalla, etc.). Unique visitor value skyrockets: Financing activity for location-based social networks really heated up late in 2009. While the total financing raised in 2009 was quite small (~$15 million), the hype surrounding location-based SNS companies was substantial. In our opinion, this was highlighted by the $8.4 million December Series B financing for Gowalla. The reported valuation of $28.4 million implies a value of $568 for each of its 50,000 users (Figure 2). That compares to a $40 per user value we estimate for the Foursquare financing in September.
New royalty agreement for webcasting & copyright firms: SoundExchange, a nonprofit royalty collecting organization associated with the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) agreed this past week to a new deal regarding royalty rates for webcasting. Under the new agreement, large commercial webcasters will pay up to 25% of their revenue to copyright holders – well below the 70% that could have been imposed under an earlier deal. While the deal was initially agreed to by three smaller Internet radio webcasters, Pandora Media, the third largest radio site (according to Alexa), also indicated it would sign on to the agreement.
Online Media companies lead financing: Two online media companies – Pandora (Internet Radio) and QuickPlay (Mobile Video) have secured the largest financing transactions thus far in July ($35 million and $12 million respectively). Total capital raised so far in July is $66.1 million through eight transactions, averaging $8.3 million per transaction. June closed with $180 million in financing on 36 transactions. The averages for the months of May (excluding the Facebook transaction) and June were $6.4 million and $4.7 million, respectively.
A weak price performance week: The companies in our universe had weak stock price performances over the past week (for stocks with prices greater than $1) (Figure 6), with 30 companies showing negative returns on the week. Gravity (NasdaqGM: GRVY) led the group with a 33% return, while GungHo (3765-OSE) had the worst return, dropping 26.4% in the week.
*Capital Market Activity: *The month of May closed with 20 financings
totalling $327.1 million led by the $200 million investment by Digital Sky
Technologies in Facebook. Excluding the Facebook transaction, May would have
been the lowest month in CY2009. The Facebook transaction aside, four
transactions (One Net Ent., Cyberplex, Peer39 and OpenX), were greater than
or equal to $10 million. The average value in May is $15.6 million (and $6.4
million excluding the Facebook transaction), greater than the average value
for April of $6.2 million on 21 financings. The March average was $6.5
million on 24 financings. If you are aware of any companies that have
recently raised money that are not on our list, please send me an email to
have them added to our database.
*Price Performance: *Most of the companies in our universe had positive
stock price performances over the past week (for stocks with prices greater
than $1) (Figure 12), with 29 companies showing positive returns on the
week. GameOn co. Ltd (3812-TSE) led the group with a 28.2% return, while
eolith Co. Ltd. (A041060-KOSE) had the worst return, dropping 13.7% in the
week.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
