Marketing, such a loosely used word in the business world and a treacherous task to undertake as a business owner. Businesses make or break on their strategies and developing a thorough marketing strategy is essential to any businesses success, small or large. So many questions arise when developing a marketing strategy. Where do I spend my money? How do I differentiate myself from my competitors? How much should I spend on online assets? Do I need to hire a marketing director? The questions could go on forever but one must know marketing basics and how to leverage not only a well-defined marketing budget but time, energy, and creativity to stand out of the crowd when trying to communicate with their target audiences.
The 4 P’s of Marketing: Confessions of a Guerrilla Marketer presented by the Innovation Center will address the very fundamentals to building a marketing strategy that encompasses understanding product/service, price, place, and promotion, the four p’s of marketing. The training session will also provide insight on how to become a guerrilla marketer and to stay top-of-mind when consumers are ready to make a purchasing decision. Guerrilla marketing was founded by Jay Conrad Levinson and was developed to help provide a system for businesses that don’t possess large marketing budgets like big brands, McDonald's or Nike, to market themselves in unique methods to earn the attention of their audiences and to increases sales revenue.

Today, marketing is more than simply about doing some communications and throwing leads over the wall to sales. It is a discipline that touches every part of the sales cycle – attracting new customers, making them sales-ready, helping close the deal, converting new customers into advocates, delivering long-term repeat sales.
With the right planning, defense contractors can use trade shows to speed up the sales cycle, reduce the cost of sales, and reach customers, prospects and even “hidden buyers.”

Branding is the process of investigating, designing, and adding to your company a distinctive feature or collection of features so that customers can start associating your brand with your goods or services. Branding is an iterative process that involves getting in touch with the hearts of your clients and your company.
We utilized this presentation during the marketing strategy workshop for local business owners and entrepreneurs, but I can work for anyone. Here are some of the points you will learn:
- What’s a marketing plan and why do you need one?
- What’s the difference between a marketing strategy and a marketing plan?
- Finding the right marketing tools and channels that would work for you.

Mel Feller Looks at Ideas for Greater Marketing and Advertising Success
Marketing and advertising is like a double-edged sword. If used cost-effectively, consistently, and systematically, marketing and advertising can be the flame, which ignites the growth of your business.
On the other hand, marketing and advertising, if approached in a careless, sporadic, and unrealistic way, can drain your bank account, produce disappointing results, and -- in a worst-case scenario -- result in business failure.

Nesta creative toolkit_book_4_in_it_for_the_long_haulTẠ MINH TRÃI
Opportunities for young creative practioners and creative entrepreneurs to acquire and broaden first-hand knowledge and skills for the future business initiatives.
In order to support to the growth of the Creative Economy in Vietnam, British Council collaborates with Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Investment & Trade Promotion Centre of Ho Chi Minh City to organize a four-day Training Programme for Creative Entrepreneurs in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The programme has been successfully implemented in various countries worldwide by the leading innovation organization Nesta from the United Kingdom.
Attending the Training Programme, creative entrepreneurs are defined as young people with creative idea/initiatives who start their business and young creative entrepreneurs trading up to 24 months. They should work in any of creative industries, including advertising, architecture, arts and antiques, crafts, design, designer fashion, film and video, leisure software, music, performing arts, publishing, software and computer services, television and radio.
Percy Emmett, a highly experienced specialist trainer and strategist in all areas of creative and cultural industries from the United Kingdom, will be the trainer in the Programme. With the extensive experience with setting up and running creative businesses building annual income of £1.7m, he is an expert in business development and mentoring from idea to setup, as well as change management covering all aspects of personal and professional skills, business diagnostics, business planning and finance.
During four days, participants have a chance to enroll on four sessions:

These aims will enable them to explore their idea and its viability and to enhance leadership, business planning, relation building, resources managing, marketing and financial skills.
When target positioning for marketing, know your clients well enough to be your best friend. Make a clear definition of the type of person the business would appeal to. What are the likes, dislikes, experiences, and values of the prospect? What kind of energy is needed to appeal to them? Only then could you start targeting your search campaign.
Startup and social media how to effectively execute your social media marketi...Dr. Deepika Salwankar
Today, we live in the world built around content and chaos. All brands, with any kind of budget want to get their message across to the same consumer through social media. In a world that is fighting for the 8-second attention span of a consumer, it’s easy for a startup to get overwhelmed while figuring out a social media strategy. Creating a brand presence and breaking through the clutter may not be an easy task, but it can get easier if you follow the five key steps.
Content strategy and earned media have huge potential to help brands better serve their customers, but many struggle to change old habits and ways of working. This book shares many of the things that we in the Brilliant Noise team have learned in recent years about developing and scaling a branded content organisation.

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.

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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
