The document analyzes major retailers' social media efforts during the 2011 holiday shopping season. It finds that retailers who implemented sustained branded marketing campaigns across traditional, digital, and social media generated the most relevant conversations. Specifically, Best Buy, Target, and Kohl's saw success by tightly linking their branded TV ads and paid social media to specific hashtags and themes. However, Kohl's momentum declined once its initial activities ended. The document recommends retailers take a more integrated and sustained approach to branded campaigns around major events like holidays to drive conversation within their consumer networks.

The Brand in the Boardroom: Making the case for investment in brand by Joanna...Ogilvy
The Red Papers represent the marquee thought leadership from the Ogilvy & Mather network. Research into effectiveness shows that the more we tie individual marketing and advertising efforts to hard measures, the better that advertising performs. That is true on the much larger scale of the brand itself.
It has been challenging, however, to measure the real impact of a brand. Past brand assessments have been limited by an accounting bias and reflexive secrecy about methodology. There is a better way, described here, which has the potential to transform marketing.
The vision of Brand Valuation set forth in this paper can help us all make a better case for investment in brand even as it links our brand strategies to measurable financial outcomes—shareholder value included. That makes a powerful argument for introducing the brand into the boardroom conversation, where it can have a meaningful impact on the health of the whole enterprise.
Challenges
The digital revolution changes everything. It's the force driving shifts in markets, customers and organisations. To survive and thrive, businesses face a dual challenge: staying ahead of the competition while transforming their own organisation.
Our belief
You need to be customer-focused to compete. We develop strategies around the customer, their needs, their world, their experience.
Our approach
We take a strategic approach in four key areas (brand, experience, content and culture).
Everything we do contributes to building a brand from its purpose to the customer experience. We aim beyond the sale, to gain their advocacy.
We develop resilient brands:
- Build a resilient brand: aligns belief, strategy and experience.
- A shared purpose and values with customers.
- Authentic communications with an engaged audience.
Purpose of the workshop
We would like you to experience the way we build brands at Brilliant Noise. Test some of our tools and exercises so you can take-away something useful you can act on, take a first step forward creating a resilient brand.
Our guide will provide you with a roadmap of the current situation, what this means for brands, and what you can do in the coming months to protect your brand’s vitality.

Help me don't sell to me - The business case for being a helpful brand in the...David Gyertson
The way businesses engage with the current and potential customers needs to fundamentally change. In difficult times, we want organisations who are going to help us, not sell to us.So how do you make this shift? And what could you be doing to be the most helpful brand?
Super Bowl ads have unique $4+ million USD price tags attached to them – and more media attention than most campaigns receive. But they still face the same fundamental challenges that any planner wrestles with: how can they deliver emotion, novelty and relevance without one undermining the others? And how can they do so in a way that works not only on TV, but across social media as well?
In this webinar, TNS introduces brand new research using social and survey data to find out which brands got it right (Hyundai? Doritos, Wix.com or Heinz? Or seasoned Super Bowl advertiser, Budweiser?) and for which, going viral is simply not enough.
How can big businesses can innovate in a world that favors the underdog?
The way businesses need to organize and behave has fundamentally shifted. Across industries, companies, and organizational functions, we have heard many of the world’s most innovative companies echo the same challenge: businesses must urgently embrace a more nimble and entrepreneurial approach in order to stay competitive. We call this challenge of how big companies can leverage scale while staying innovative “big entrepreneurship.” The Paradox of Scale is one of five pieces in our report, Big Entrepreneurship, aimed at deconstructing some of the complex challenges around big entrepreneurship and provide actionable insights for business leaders.
This report was created by Fahrenheit 212, a global innovation strategy and design firm. We define innovation strategies and develop new products, services, and experiences that create sustainable, profitable growth for our clients. We challenge the belief that innovation is inherently unreliable and have spent the last decade designing the method, building the model, and assembling the minds to make innovation a predictable driver of growth for our clients' businesses.

The Social Performance of Mega-Software Brands: SAP vs OracleDachis Group
Big consumer brands have always led the way in social engagement, creating and growing their Twitter and Facebook platforms. But as we enter 2012, two themes emerge, putting a twist on how brand’s participate socially.
The marketing and advertising arms race to create emotional appeal, generate buzz and move up brand valuation league tables, is creating a widening gap between brand strategy and business strategy. In this environment some of the once coolest and iconic brands are faltering at a game they once dominated. The key question for businesses today, is how to expose such strategic blind spots and remain relevant in the face of an evolving marketplace? This article explores one methodology and framework into just how that can be done.
On Target 2014 is the Go-To Conference for B2B Sales & Marketing; How to increase win rate with new sales and marketing technologies ?
Liz Smyth, Marketing Director Marketo EMEA talks about the new rules of marketing and how to go from email marketing to one-to-one marketing.
For the last eight years brands have invested billions into social media programs and now many are scratching their heads… “What's the ROI of this content?”
In this webinar we break it down for you.
Brands today have an unprecedented opportunity to engage with consumers in more and more meaningful ways. The media landscape has been transformed. The industry has fragmented, digital channels and platforms have proliferated, and social networks have created an expectation among consumers that brands will engage them directly. In such a climate, business and marketing leaders have rushed headlong into publishing—they’d be foolish to stay on the sidelines—but few brands have been successful. One of the major reasons brands fail at publishing is they lack the strategic vision, talent, process, and technical infrastructure required to support the ongoing creation of effective content.
This report gives an overview of developments forcing brands to become publishers, outlines the signs of brand publishing success, and presents the key investments in capabilities needed to get there.
At the same time that brand marketers have been investing to make their retail relationships more strategic and collaborative, retailers have been investing in Private Brands which directly compete with national brands, and realizing tremendous success with them. This white paper explores the issues and opportunities associated with these complex relationships, and identifies ways to generate mutual gains
Check out this interesting white paper by Willard Bishop on how national brands and private label in non-competing categories can collaboratively cross-merchandise for a win-win situation.

Chapter 5
Selecting Business-Level Strategies
L E A R N I N G O B JE C T I V E S
After reading this chapter, you should be able to understand and articulate answers to the following
questions:
1. Why is an examination of generic strategies valuable?
2. What are the four main generic strategies?
3. What is a best-cost strategy?
4. What does it mean to be “stuck in the middle”?
The Competition Takes Aim at Target
On January 13, 2011, Target Corporation announced its intentions to operate stores outside the United
States for the first time. The plan called for Target to enter Canada by purchasing existing leases from a
Canadian retailer and then opening 100 to 150 stores in 2013 and 2014. [1] The chain already included
more than 1,700 stores in forty-nine states. Given the close physical and cultural ties between the United
States and Canada, entering the Canadian market seemed to be a logical move for Target.
In addition to making its initial move beyond the United States, Target had several other sources of pride
in early 2011. The company claimed that 96 percent of American consumers recognized its signature logo,
surpassing the percentages enjoyed by famous brands such as Apple and Nike. In
March, Fortune magazine ranked Target twenty-second on its list of the “World’s Most Admired
Companies.” In May, Target reported that its sales and earnings for the first quarter of 2011 (sales: $15.6
billion; earnings: $689 million) were stronger than they had been in the first quarter of 2010 (sales: $15.2
billion; earnings: $671 million). Yet there were serious causes for concern, too. News stories in the second
half of 2010 about Target’s donations to political candidates had created controversy and unwanted
publicity. And despite increasing sales and profits, Target’s stock price fell about 20 percent during the
first quarter of 2011.

Concern also surrounded Target’s possible vulnerability to competition within the retail industry. Since its
creation in the early 1960s, Target executives had carved out a lucrative position for the firm. Target offers
relatively low prices on brand-name consumer staples such as cleaning supplies and paper products, but it
also offers chic clothing and household goods. This unique combination helps Target to appeal to fairly
affluent customers. Although Target counts many college students and senior citizens among its devotees,
the typical Target shopper is forty-one years old and has a household income of about $63,000 per year.
Approximately 45 percent of Target customers have children at home, and about 48 percent have a college
degree. [2] Perhaps the most tangible reflection of Target’s upscale position among large retailers is the
tendency of some customers to jokingly pronounce its name as if it were a French boutique: “Tar-zhay.”.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
