This document discusses nation branding and outlines several key points:
1. Many countries spend large amounts on advertising campaigns to promote their nation brand with limited evaluation of effectiveness.
2. A more balanced approach is needed that goes beyond just media and advertising to include tools like cultural diplomacy and engagement with diaspora networks.
3. France launched a successful nation branding campaign called "The New France" to update perceptions of the country as a modern, innovative place for business and investment. The campaign used advertisements, events, and relationship building over several years.

Digital/Social Media For Your UHNW/HNW Advisory Practice - CFA Institute Weal...April Rudin
Why it's risky for UHNW/HNW Advisory firms NOT to have a digital/social strategy? Some of the topics addressed include: Why is digital/social media such a big deal, and why is it considered risky not to have a digital/social media strategy? Where and how should a busy charterholder leverage resources in an effective social/digital marketing plan? What are best practices for using LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and blogs to create visibility among prospective clients and create community among clients?
Brands And Digital Culture: It Doesn't Have To SuckAvin Narasimhan
Presentation I gave at the end of February 2011 at The Olin School of Business @ Washington University in St Louis. Part of a new marketing seminar series they've started with the goal of bringing different types of industry folks into their classrooms to give lessons of both success and failure to future brand managers and CMOs. My session specifically was around what role digital platforms can play for brands, and to discuss some broad ideas about how it works and doesn't work.
Culture Hacking starts with the recognition of intelligence in cultural codes. Although they may not always live as clean quantitative figures, it is time to think of cultural codes in congruence with Big Data. It’s about seeing the opportunity, through cultural understanding, to create work that affects individuals with greater potency and resonates with scale. Marketers should design innovative culture hacking initiatives on their own terms and look to culture hacking as an investment in brand relevance and sustainability.http://www.marcgeffen.com/

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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. Nations have always competed
with each other
The shifting balance between ‘hard’ and
‘soft’ power
Investment attraction
Export promotion
Tourism
3
4. Many countries do not know
what to do
The use of brand management techniques
is relatively new
Many governments are not familiar with
these techniques
Every country should develop its own
original nation branding strategy
4
5. A blind faith in the power of
advertising
Much public money is spent on expensive
advertising campaigns
However, very little evaluation is made of
the effectiveness of these ad campaigns
5
6. Public relations consultancies
Generate positive media coverage
Develop ongoing relationships with
journalists and editors
But reality must underpin the spin
6
7. A more balanced approach is
required
A media-centric approach operates via:
– Paid-for advertising in relevant media
– News management through PR officers and/or
consultants
However, the range of nation branding
tools extends far beyond a media-centric
approach
7
8. Complementary nation
branding tools and techniques
Activation of diaspora networks
Improved coordination between different
stakeholder groups
Cultural diplomacy
Increasing the entrepreneurialism of
Embassy networks
8
9. Key concepts in nation
branding
Identity versus image
The identity-image gap
The facets of nation-brand identity
Deconstructing nation-brand image
Positioning the nation-brand
9
10. 3 key elements of branding
theory
Brand identity
Brand image
Brand positioning
10
11. Identity versus image
A simple but robust perspective:
– Identity refers to what something truly is, its
essence
– Image refers to how something is perceived
There is frequently a gap between these
two states
11
12. The identity-image gap
This tends to be a negative factor
Many nations struggle with the frustration
of not being perceived correctly by the
rest of the world
Stereotypes and clichés can dominate
perceptions of some nations
12
14. Nation branding attempts to
reduce the identity-image gap
By identifying prejudices and
misperceptions
By enabling nations to dismantle and
oppose the negative forces that could:
– Hold back the nation’s economic development
– Damage the nation’s standing in the world
community
14
15. Constructing the nation-brand
narrative
Narrative identity theory
Imaginative & creative input in brand
identity development
Poets, novelists, and other creative writers
could play a significant role in enhancing
their nation’s reputation
15
16. The facets of nation-brand
identity
Nation-brand identity is built upon a limited
range of all the constituent parts of national
identity
External audiences are unwilling to process huge
amounts of information about a country’s
history, culture, society
16
17. Deconstructing nation-brand
image
The mental representations (images) that
people have of countries can derive from
various influencing factors
Nations have varying degrees of control
over these influencing factors
17
18. Image-formation factors
Personal
experience
Nation-brand Word of
campaigns mouth
Behaviour of COUNTRY National
citizens IMAGE stereotypes
Export
Politics
brands
Sports
performances
18
19. Assessing brand image via
brand personification
‘Brand personification’ is a qualitative research
technique
The question: “If brand X were a person, what
kind of person would it be?”
Product brands have been using this technique
for years – there is no reason why it could not
be applied to nation-brands
19
20. Perceptions of Brand Spain
amongst Japanese
students aged 18-25
“If Spain was a person, what kind
of person would it be?”
20
21. “Spain is a cheerful girl, she
always smiles for everyone,
she makes everyone happy.”
21
23. “A girl, aged 25 years old. Beautiful
and sexy. Likes dancing and
singing. She has 5 boy friends
who are waiting for the day they
can date her.”
23
24. “Man, 30 years old, wears red
clothes. He is confident in
himself.”
24
25. “A man in his middle age
drinking and singing
every day, all day long.”
25
26. Perceptions of Brand
Portugal amongst
Japanese students aged
18-25
“If Portugal was a person, what
kind of person would it be?”
26
31. “Male. Quiet and a big guy. In
his 40s. Wise man. Has a wife.
The wife is very beautiful. Has
few friends but very close.”
31
32. Conceptual model of nation-
brand identity and image
Key components:
Nation-brand identity History Language Territory Political
regime Architecture Sport Literature Art
Religion Education system Icons
Landscape Music Food & drink Folklore
Branded exports Sporting achievements
Communicators of The diaspora Marketing communications
nation-brand identity Brand ambassadors Cultural artefacts
Govt foreign policy Tourism experience
Prominent personalities
Audiences:
Nation-brand image Domestic consumers External consumers
Domestic firms External firms Inward
investors Governments Media
32
33. Positioning the nation-brand
The concept of positioning is a key issue
in brand management and strategy
The work of advertising agencies and
branding consultancies includes:
– Establishing effective positioning platforms
– Designing campaigns for successful
implementation of the desired positioning
33
34. Positioning defined
“Positioning is the act of designing the
company’s offering and image to occupy a
distinctive place in the mind of the target
market”
– Kotler & Keller, 2006
34
35. National tourism campaigns often
lack distinctive positioning
Such campaigns score low on distinctiveness
They make generic, undifferentiated claims for
their sandy beaches, sunshine, etc
Risk of commoditization
Higher-end cultural tourism offers potential for
better positioning
35
36. Nation-brand positioning
platforms
Nation-brand Positioning platform
South Africa “Alive with possibility”
Bolivia “The authentic still exists”
Scotland “The best small country in the world”
India “India Shining”
Thailand “Amazing Thailand”
Malaysia “Truly Asia”

preoccupied with outdated perceptions
that go against the modern actuality of
France
40
41. Changing the world’s opinion
The French government recognized that
correcting the discrepancy between the
myth and the reality of France’s image
was important for:
– The success of its economy
– Inward investment levels
41
42. Invest in France Agency (IFA)
Government organization responsible for
promoting international investment and helping
foreign investors succeed in France
As part of its mission, IFA has helped erase
misconceptions about France over the past 3
years with the rollout of an image campaign:
– “The New France. Where the smart money goes.”
42
43. Collaborative approach
With a total budget of 35 million Euros,
the campaign was developed & run by IFA
in collaboration with several French
government bodies, including:
– UBIFrance, Maison de la France, information
service dept, Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
French Economic Mission, Sopexa,
EDUFrance, Treasury Directorate, etc
43
44. Campaign goals
Raise France’s economic profile among 5
leading target investment countries:
– USA, UK, Germany, Japan, China
Improve foreign investor opinions of
France
Create solid relationships with foreign
investors for long-term dialogue
44
45. Campaign strategy
Focus on boosting visibility & credibility

the convenience of a central location
45
46. Emphasizing France’s
attractiveness
Flexible labor laws
Superior healthcare system
Diverse business clusters
Statistical benchmarks displaying
competitiveness in categories such as:
– Real-estate costs, employee salaries, tax rates
46
47. High-impact advertisements
Over 185 ads endorsed “The New France”
in top economic news publications:
– Financial Times, Wall Street Journal,
Handelsblatt, Nikkei
Billboard ads also appeared at major
airports in:
– USA, UK, Japan, China, and Roissy Charles de
Gaulle airport in Paris
47
48. Supplementary marcoms tools
Sector videos
A comprehensive multilingual
communications kit
A book available in 5 languages
A microsite, www.thenewfrance.com
48
49. Face-to-face contacts
IFA executives met with economic leaders
and potential investors at nearly 150 high-
profile events during the campaign,
including:
– World Economic Forum in Davos
– Business Week Leadership Forum
– Fortune Innovation Forum
49
50. Campaign results
61% of respondents in USA and UK said it
made them view France in a new light
40,000 new jobs created in France in 2006
from foreign investment projects, a 33%
increase over 2005

51. Conclusions
Media strategy needs to be balanced by
face-to-face contacts
Allocate resources to building long term
relationships with investors and other
target audiences
Develop a collaborative approach between
different Government Ministries and
Departments
