South African higher education library mergersIna Smith
The document summarizes a study on the effects of mergers between technikon libraries and universities of technology in South Africa. It finds that while some libraries saw benefits like more diverse collections and skills, most had not received improved funding, staffing or infrastructure to match the increased demands of becoming a university. The majority of libraries planned to restructure to better align with university needs, but over half remained dissatisfied with budget allocations not meeting expectations. It recommends that institutions include library funding in research infrastructure requests and redress project submissions to address the mismatch between merger goals and resourcing.

The document summarizes and analyzes several advertisements that aired during Super Bowl XLVII. It notes that many of the ads relied on familiar tropes and themes that would have appealed more to older generations. However, it also highlights some standout ads, including ones for Bud Light, Budweiser, M&M's, Mercedes-Benz, and Oreo, that incorporated more contemporary elements or focused on selling points of the products. In general, the author argues many marketers missed an opportunity to demonstrate a better understanding of today's consumers.
This document provides a summary and analysis of various Super Bowl advertisements from 2013. Some key points:
- Century 21 had an effective continuing story that showed how their real estate agents solved problems using their product.
- McDonald's commercial featuring a kid getting recognized for achievements was emotionally effective.
- Audi scored with a humorous commercial about a dateless boy gaining confidence from his father's car.
- Coke did a beautiful job highlighting positive human interactions caught on security cameras.
- Some ads like those for Budweiser and Blackberry were criticized for lacking creativity or clarity in conveying their message.
Century 21 aired a one-minute Super Bowl advertisement during Super Bowl XLVII that featured the familiar "mother-in-law joke" and aimed to take advantage of high social media activity around the game. Social media mentions of the Super Bowl increased to over 52 million in 2013 compared to 17 million in 2012. While it is difficult to directly correlate the ad to sales, experts believe the advertisement and growing online attention could result in Century 21 gaining three to five new home buyers over the entire year.
- Century 21 commissioned a survey to better understand viewers of their Super Bowl commercial after seeing success from their debut ad last year.
- The survey found most people (84%) will watch the game at home for comfort over sports bars, and will do so in pajamas while snacking on salty foods like chips.
- While men may watch more for the game, many women (63%) attend Super Bowl parties more for the social aspect and are very receptive to commercials, even if not watching the game closely.
