...What is a company’s best asset? Their product? Their CEO? Their sales assistants? No their best asset is their marketers. If a marketer is the company’s best asset then what is it they do exactly? A marketer’s job doesn’t have a set criteria list that states whether to making them a good marketer or not. What makes a good marketer is their skills in analysing, eye for details, research abilities & many more attributes. Marketers spend a lot of time analysing not only their own brand but the competition. This allows them to compare brands to see who is leading the product race and the differences others have that are giving them a leading edge. Once data is collected it is the marketers’ job to analyse the results, from the results the marketer will come up with a sales campaign that will would either form a way to further promote or re-invent the product. Within Byron Sharp’s publication Marketing: Theory, Evidence & Practice he states “While success or failure depends a great deal on luck, marketing strategy has a huge influence on a brand’s success or decline. There is much marketing knowledge that (if used wisely) can help grow brands.” An example of this is the Apple product the iPod. The iPod was hugely successful due not only to Apple’s marketing campaign but the way they saw the future within computer storing software of music formally known as iTunes. The iPod wasn’t the first portable music player but outsold the original Sony Walkman 5 to 1 in the first...

...importance to employers worldwide. This focus on fostering skills, attributes and knowledge which better prepare students for the workplace is not a new concept but one recognised in both education and industry as now being a pivotal element of business undergraduate education. In 2002, the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry [ACCI] and the Business Council of Australia [BCA] developed a national framework for employability skills (Department of Education, Science and Training [DEST], 2002), see table below. In line with changing global and national business environments, a more contemporary employability framework is needed to first, reflect evolving industry requirements and second, to provide the Business Edge (BE) program with a clear set of program outcomes. As a core component of the Bachelor of Business, BE is based on a framework which captures and reflects current employer preferences and priorities (see table below); ensuring that ECU business graduates meet the expectations of today’s employers. 2002 Employability skills framework1 | ECU Graduate Attributes | 2010 BE Employability Skills framework2 | Communication | Ability to communicate | Communicating effectively | Teamwork | Ability to work in teamsCross cultural and international outlook | Working effectively with others | Life-long learning | | Self-awareness | Technology | Ability to communicate | Analysing data and using technology | Problem solving | Critical appraisal skills | Problem...

...different factors which affects and improves a photograph. It also made me more confident whilst using the camera helping me to discover how to produce a more aesthetic photograph using different focal points and combining the elements I had learnt, to help with my own ideas. My main source of research was compiled by internet searches and browsing through magazines to inspire future ideas. I also read Tom Ang’s Digital Photography Masterclass which had excellent example photographs, tips and ideas and is definitely an encouraging book that helped guide me through this Unit as, I am sure, it will the others. My theme was people so to help inspire my own ideas and techniques I looked via the internet at various photographers. Critically analysing photographs from my chosen photographers; Richard Avedon, Ryan McGinley, Andrez Hernandez, Iain Crawford, Cindy Sherman and Marco Grob helped my view of not just looking at a photograph but getting an emotional feel and a technical understanding which I had not previously done before beginning my A level. My models for my photographs for my ideas were taken of people. I had hoped to use photographs of the general public but felt that would be too intrusive to them, so I chose my family and friends and idea three as a self-portrait as I felt I needed to gain more confidence with the camera. Whilst undertaking this Unit I have learnt that not only do you have to consider your...
