...Progressive Commercial: Meant to be Together * In the commercials from Progressive, the ads were paid for by Progressive. Progressive’s slant to their commercial is that Progressive insurance makes everything better. If it is the outdoors then Progressive makes being outside more fun and a better time overall. The examples given by Progressive show that if it is fun it is Progressive, this commercial does not concentrate on prices they just concentrate on showing people having fun, I believe that it reflects the believe that if people are having it appeals to more people, especially at this time with the economic problems that everyone is having. Wendy’s Commercial: Wild Berry Frosting * In the commercials from Wendy’s the ads were paid for by Wendy’s. Wendy’s slant to their commercial is that by having a Wendy’s product you can experience a mini vacation. The commercials from Wendy’s once again have the same reflection of society that Progressive’s commercials have, that they make everything more fun. I think that at this moment in time with the economic problems and everything that is happening, people are more apt to go for something that appeals to the light hearted, to their happier moments. 2nd Part I am not skeptical of Giuliani’s credibility as he, as well as every American, knows what happened on 9/11. His sincerity came across clearly and he was in no position to fake the topic, especially since it creates a very strong emotional feedback from almost...

...corrections as the campaign rolls on. 3. For a start, you can publish the campaign in all countries and territories, and as you progress and your app gets downloads, you can then try selecting target countries. 4. Do some research to find out popularity of your app or service in those countries – check on how similar apps and services have fared in those places. 5. Some countries are generally good when it comes to free and paid apps. They give good ads revenue on free apps and also do well in downloading paid apps, number one on this list is USA and also countries like Turkey, Germany, Spain and Italy have been good to me. 6. Monitor your campaigns periodically. It is good to check on the campaigns at least once a day (daily report) if you have the time. This way you can update the countries and cities, remove the non-performing and add new ones, and even update the ad image and message once in a while. This ensures that your ads are kept exciting and users click through.(improve your CTR). 7. Be careful with funds. Ad campaigns can turn out to be an expensive venture especially with the new payment models introduced by Google recently which collects funds directly from your Credit/debit card directly....

...Question 9 Explanation: Ad delivery determines how often your ads show throughout the day. After you set your campaign's budget, you have the option to choose one of two ad delivery methods: 1) Standard Delivery (default option) distributes your budget throughout the day to avoid reaching your budget early on. This option is recommended if you want to reach your audience evenly throughout the day, rather than just in the morning. 2) Accelerated Delivery displays your ads more quickly until you run out of budget. So, if your campaign is limited by budget, your ad might stop running earlier in the day. Question 12 Explanation: A client manager will be billed for these accounts via manager order-level monthly invoice Question 15 Explanation: Effective video ads educate and entertain, and also inspire the viewer to act. If your campaign's goal is not just about branding, make sure you communicate to your customers what you'd like them to do, such as visit your store or site, call a phone number, or complete a purchase. Letting people know that they can learn more by clicking "play" usually increases play rates and video interaction rates. * Entice customers to click "play" using rich, sharp colors. * Include a few words to describe your product, service, and/or business. * Boost your play rate with a call-to-action that lets customers know they can play the video to learn more. * Create multiple video ads with different opening image sizes to increase...

...principles to inform your choices and comments. Please focus your analysis on visual tensions at play in your examples. Narrative tensions like humor and surprise may be also considered as a product of the visuals but should be secondary factors. Acceptable sources for examples include printed ads in magazines and newspapers, static ads on websites, and posters. Unacceptable sources include web banners and ads, videos of any kind, catalogs (inside and out), magazine covers, and websites for the item being promoted. You may scan printed pieces to save as a jpg/png and attach to your response. You may also provide screen shots or urls for print ads that are reproduced online (although, again, web ads are not appropriate). See “File Formats” under Course Content for image size and resolution guidelines. Post your example as a jpg or pdf and answer the following questions about your ad byThursday of week two: * Which elements of the ad fit our definition of low visual tension? Which principles are used (i.e., centering, symmetry, repetition, etc.)? * The low visual tension is location on the edges as the wording stops yet is not symmetrical to both sides. * Which elements of the ad fit our definition of high visual tension? Which principles are used (i.e., contrast, asymmetry, proximity etc.)? * The high visual tension is the woman centralized in the middle breaking up the writing in the background. There is also high tension in the way the letter contour a human...

...Compliance Program / Annual Procedure Review Rule 206(4)-7 of the Investment Advisers Act creates a fiduciary responsibility for investment advisers to review annually their policies and procedures to determine their adequacy and the effectiveness of their implementation. As part of this review, all policies, procedures and responsibilities of an adviser must be reviewed, and the findings documented. The review should consider all factors that might suggest a need to revise the policies and procedures including any compliance matters that occurred during the year, any changes in the adviser’s or its affiliates business activities, or changes to applicable regulations. Reviews should be conducted by independent individuals (e.g., the department manager) not immediately responsible for implementation of a particular procedure. An overall review and approval of the adviser’s policies and procedures should be completed by the Chief Compliance Officer and should be submitted to the adviser’s Management Committee or Executive Officers for Final Action. |Procedure | |Summary & |Recommended |Reviewer & | |Completion Date & | |Reviewed |Findings |Conclusions |Change/Update |Date of Review |Review by CCO |Final Actions ...

...Riverside Casino and Golf Resort / Stacy Benson Topic Title Performance Reviews NO. This title won’t work. What about performance reviews? If you were doing a simple research paper you could write about performance reviews based on research alone. In this Sr Paper you must determine the state of the art based on your Literature Review. Then you will give the background of the problem and discuss it. This must all lead to two Courses of Action (COAs; solutions) that are tied to your title and problem. You need a “product” such as a process, a plan, a strategy, a program – something that can be recommended and implemented. Problem Statement (if not finalized post a draft – focus on the "pain.") The problem is that after initial training employees are not being reviewed for current performance. Suggest that after this initial statement you add something more about the problem. Brief Topic Overview The casino is experiencing a high turnover rate of employees because after their initial training they are put on the floor without any further review. In the handbook employees are supposed to have a review after 90 days but they are not being implemented. This leaves the casino with under qualified employees that eventually terminate their employment due to not feeling able to meet the high demands. The solution to this problem, if it is the problem, is simple. Just IMPLEMENT PERFORMANCE REVIEWS. You can see...

...Peer Evaluation for MKT 420 Your Name: KYRIA AHO Fill in the blanks for each team member (but not yourself) as if you were writing an evaluation or recommendation for that person. ONLY ONE TEAM MEMBER MAY BE RECOMMENDED FOR PROMOTION. Consider if you were assigned to another team, which team member you would want to be your boss. Consider who you’d like to work with again. Consider who you’d go to extremes to avoid working with if you had a say. Here is the format for peer evaluations. Include the team member’s full name (1), and be specific about (2) what the team member did or did not do. At the end, if you were employed with this person, (3) would you recommend (a) Promoting, (b) Retaining (Keep in position), (c) Retaining with counseling to improve performance or (d) firing/replacing.

...Butterfly leaked just 24 hours before its official release date, March 15, and that most major music websites published their reviews of the album within three days of the leak. On such an immediate deadline for filing a feature-length album review, it’s nearly impossible for a young critic to stunt. At Jezebel, Clover Hope just wrote the truth. With bits of personal and political context interspersed, Hope framed her review as a first-take impression of the “overwhelming blackness” of an album about funk and self-destruction. “This initial feeling is suffocating,” Hope wrote. “It’s the essence of Dis Tew Much.” I think most fans and critics would agree that Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly is, indeed, overwhelming. I reviewed To Pimp a Butterfly in about 72 hours. In that narrow band of time, I "got" the album's messages and themes but couldn’t grasp the motivations for the album’s sound. Why, in. You’ll recall that To Pimp a Butterfly leaked just 24 hours before its official release date, March 15, and that most major music websites published their reviews of the album within three days of the leak.

Page 3 – * Transformation projects should be reviewed at least once in two months since the probability that change initiative will run into trouble rises exponentially if time between reviews is more than eight weeks. * The higher the complexity of the project, the more frequently it should be reviewed to keep the project on the track. * Scheduling milestones and assessing their impact are the best way by which executives can review the execution of projects, identify gaps, and spot new risks. * Most effective milestones are those that describe major actions or achievements...
