A Collection of Advertisements (Created by Mrs. Brown's 4th Grade Class)lrothfeld
Students began this project by viewing a variety of real print and online advertisements, and explored the use of language, humor, photographs, and design, to gain insight on what makes certain advertising strategies successful. Students then designed their own collection of ads for real and fictitious businesses and products.
Each ad was created as a PowerPoint slide. Students developed skills in creativity, design, and persuasion. They learned and practiced the effective use of text in headlines, text boxes, speaking and thinking bubbles; text effects, Word Art styles, position, and rotation; working with photos, picture effects, cropping, and other modifications; layering objects; inserting and formatting shapes with outlines, fills, and textures; selecting slide design themes; using dark on light and light on dark when working with text, graphics, and backgrounds; visual appeal and strategic placement and emphasis of elements; and much more.
The goals of the project were presented in the authentic context of students being “hired” for a summer internship at an advertising company. They were to prove their skills in the use of technology, creativity, and design in order to be considered for a full-time position.

How to skill up in digital marketing and give employers what they want - The ...Luke Marshall
A guest lecture I did at The University of Melbourne in 2016. The topic was hot to skill up in digital marketing and give employers what they want.
There were 2nd, 3rd, 4th year students of digital marketing in the room, so put the presentation together to give them information I wish I had when I started.
Covers off:
- researching the industry

- getting hands-on experience
http://productprosystems.com - The Product Creation Manifesto is a guide to information marketing and creating information products. Written by Greg Rollett, the ProductPro, this guide will show you the "why" behind recording your own info products as well as practical tips that walk you through the creation of your very own information marketing products.
We hear it every day: Everything is changing. Social media, globalization, climate change are just a few of the powerful and complex forces at work in our every day lives. Not only are people more connected than ever with constant access to a world of opinion mixed with fact, but they’re also feeling less confident, lacking control over everything from home to work to politics. So, the world is complex and facing major challenges, competition is fierce, and brands mean more. So what?
Il fantastico mondo delle startup, al Med-CHHAB dell'Università di PalermoFloriano Bonfigli
Mi hanno chiesto se avevo qualcosa da dire riguardo il mondo delle startup. Ho ripreso una presentazione già fatta in altro contesto (Pillole Digitali di Omar Cafini).

Proven techniques to easily find potentially niche ideas for your Online Business. Plus a list of 1061 niche ideas! Complete with screenshots and video tutorials.
--
The goal of this guide is to give you plenty of good methods to find niche ideas. In the end you should have a list of potentially profitable niche ideas that interest you.
A profitable niche is simple a topic or interest with a sufficient large enough audience willing to spend money on it.
We want to build an Info business to serve a specific audience that have issues or problems within a niche. But sometimes a niche is very broad and undefined like for example video games, in which case we find a subniche within that niche e.g. video game addiction or video game strategy guides.
The techniques and tools in this guide will show you how to find potentially profitable niches and subniches.
Once you have a list of ideas what remains is that you analyze them to make sure they’re profitable! I wrote The Niche Formula to explain how to do exactly that.
In this guide you’ll also find a list of 1106 potentially profitable niche ideas....

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers.

According to TechSci Research report, “India Orthopedic Devices Market -Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030”, the India Orthopedic Devices Market stood at USD 1,280.54 Million in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 7.84% in the forecast period, 2026-2030F.

The most prominent ones include an increase in the elderly population, who are more prone to orthopedic conditions such as osteoporosis and arthritis. Moreover, the rise in sports injuries and road accidents are also contributing to the demand for orthopedic devices. Advances in technology and the introduction of innovative implants and prosthetics have further propelled the market growth. Additionally, government initiatives aimed at improving healthcare infrastructure and the increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases have led to an upward trend in orthopedic surgeries, thereby fueling the market demand for these devices.

The Parable of the Pipeline a book every new businessman or business student ...

1.
2. 1 MEET NEW PEPOLE...
2 KEEP A “PAIN POINT” JOUNRAL...
3 TAP INTO YOUR INTERESTS...
4 EXPLORE NEW WAYS OF THINKING...
5 TRAVEL...
6 GO ONLINE...
7 DO YOU MARKET RESEARCH...
3. Seriously go out and meet new people to get out of your
ideas rut. Talking to new people who not only don’t think
like you but who don’t know how you can help freshen up
your brainstorming process. Go to networking and learning
events, talk to people out side your industry and/or strike
up a conversation with your existing customers.
https://www.marsdd.com/events/
4. Successful companies all have one thing in common: they
solve a problem. Companies like Google, Netflix and Uber
solve specific pain points in their marketplace and went on
to achieve great things.
I wish I could find information on a specific topic from various source quickly .
I wish I could rent movies and television shows directly from my television at a low cost.
I wish there was a cheaper way to get a ride.
ASK YOUR SELF: WHAT BUGS ME? KEEP A JUORNAL WHERE YOU WRITE DOWN YOUR EVERYDAY FRUSTRATION. REVIEW
THE JUORNAL REGULARLY AND RUN IT BY OTHERS TO SEE IF IT’S PAIN POINT FOR THEM. WHAT PRODUCT OR SERVICE
COULD YOU CREATE
5. The famous restaurant and travel guide is an often cited example a
finding a business in something you love. The founder Zagat , Tim
and Nina Zagat, were lawyers who love to eat out at restaurant. In 1979,
they started a newsletter asking their friends to rate restaurant. As the
newsletter got bigger every year, they began charging money their
work. In 2011 the company was bought by Google. Not bad for a
newsletter. Tack an inventory of your hobbies and interests. What are
the business opportunities youcould create from something you love to
do anyway?
6. New methodologies and ways of thinking are constantly evolving and some
industries as better at embracing them than others. Take design thinking for
example Design thinking is a mindset and a methodology used to better
understand problems and implement creative solutions, articulate first by
David Kelley, co founder of the design firm IDEO. The company has designed
products for iconic brands such as Apple, Steelcase and Oral-B. Read up on
alternative methodologies and learning methods and apply them to your pain
point journal. Or Apply to an alternative learning programme such as Studio
[Y] if you are in inflection point and need a reboot, or
explore entrepreneurial thinking resources for a new learning style.
7. There is a whole big world out there of great ideas there aren’t yet in
your market. If you see an ideas you love in your travel, you can tack it
back home and give it a new spin that specifically addresses the needs
of your market or community. Even if you don’t find inspiration,
travelling will help tack you out of your surroundings and refresh your
system. There’s also places around the world that have ideas waiting to
be commercialized, such as in universities that have technology
transfer offices. Tack an existing idea and launch into market.
8. Don’t waste your time looking at cat videos online. Look up entrepreneurship
and industry related communities. Go on Twitter and search relevant hostages
to see what people are tacking about. For example if you are interested in social
finance and social innovation, consider hostages #impinv (impact investing),
#socfin (social finance), #socinn (social innovation), #susty (sustainability),
#socent (social entrepreneur or social enterprise) and #csr (corporate social
responsibility). You might learn about new niche fields, networking
opportunities or other topics that might spark something. Become a student of
your industry and entrepreneurship.
9. So you have potential inkling of an idea but aren’t sure if it really has any
potential. Research the market to see what's out there and where your ideas
could fit in. Be sides your standards online search and library stop, there’s tone
of resources out there to help you along. For example MaRS Market
Intelligence provides Ontario entrepreneurs with access to current, relevant
and timely information about your industries, competitors, market, potential
investors and partners, intellectual property and best business practices at no
cost.
