This exercise is designed to illustrate the numerous and diverse opportunities that companies/brands have to build awareness and brand equity with current and potential consumers by using audience contact points to reach their target market.

Each of these audience/consumer contact points is an opportunity for marketing communications, and to assure that these communications are integrated, thereby presenting a unified and consistent brand image. Audience/ consumer contact points also provide an opportunity to build relationships with relevant audiences both internal as well as external. 

Directions

• Choose a well-known company (category examples airline, automotive/ car manufacturer, bank/ financial institution, chain restaurant, supermarket, pharmacy, hotel chain, department store) and analyze how they are reaching their target audience.
• List all consumer contact points/ touch points ranging from simply seeing the company brand /company logo/signage or advertising to actually experiencing the brand/product/service offered by the company. 
• Use the examples presented in Instructor Announcements and in Chapter 1 in the textbook as a reference.
• Prepare a written analysis using the format specified in the Individual Worksheet. 
• The worksheet is in MS Word.
•  Save it to your desktop and use the format to answer each question using the space required to express your ideas concisely.
•  Your assignment submission should be no more than 2 typed pages.
• Follow the format provided. (question & answer)  Exercise 1 submitted using any other format will not be accepted.

Hello everyone, I have an Assignment for you today. This assignment must be DONE by Friday, January 31, 2020, no later than 10 pm. By the way, I need this assignment to be PLAGIARISM FREE & a Spell Check when completed. Make sure you READ the instructions CAREFULLY. Now without further ado, the instructions to the assignments are below:

Instructions

For this assignment, you will begin by reviewing Applying Psychology to Everyday Life: Paying Attention to Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorderon pp. 8788 of the eTextbook.

Now, imagine that you are a university psychology professor. One of your students, John Doe, was recently diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), combined presentation. He has e-mailed you and requested your advice and assistance with better understanding his circumstances, diagnosis, and prognosis. You will reply to John by writing an e-mail in which you will offer him advice in the following areas.

• Indicate structures of the brain that are involved and biopsychology factors that could impact his emotions, learning, memory, and motivation related to your class.
• Describe ways in which his brain can perceive information from the outside world that could in turn impact his performance in your class.
• Identify suggestions that you have for John to increase his chances for success in your class as well his other courses.

Your e-mail must be a minimum of 600 words in the body of the e-mail. You must use at least two sources, one of which may be your eTextbook, to support your advice. All sources used must be properly cited. Include the references at the bottom of the e-mail for your students reference. Please include a title page for the homework. The title page, citations, and references must be formatted in APA style.

By the way, I’ve attached a Study Guide & Pages 87 & 88 to help you with this assignment! (Attachments 2 & 3 is pg. 87 & attachments 4 & 5 is pg.88)

You will be responsible for posting to the Canvas Discussion Board example of data visualization being used in the wild. This can come from a news source, social media, think tank report, YouTube commercial, academic article, or virtually any other source that has some relevance to your life. Your assignment is to post a link to the source and critically reflect on the visualization using some aspect of either: 1) DIgnazios framework for implementing feminist data viz (see reading & discussion for Jan 13); 2) Cairos framework for evaluating the qualities of great visualizations (see reading for Jan 15); or 3) some amalgamation of the two frameworks. Prior to the first due date, we will practice evaluating data visualizations using this framework so that you have a general idea of how to approach the assignment. I expect your reflections to be about 500 words (~1 single-spaced page).

Each post is worth five points. You will receive full credit if you post a link and provide a ~500 word (or longer if you desire) narrative that represents a meaningful attempt to reflect on the example using some aspect of Cairos framework. Two points will be given to those who simply post a link without a narrative, and three points will be given to those whose narrative lacks any meaningful reflection. My standard for what constitutes meaningful will increase as the quarter progresses, as I will be looking for growth in the depth with which you are able to critically reflect on the technical and contextual details of data visualization.

The following represent suggestions for how you might structure your critique:

1. Start by discussing the background of the visualization, such as information about the publisher, source(s) of data used, and the general context of publication (i.e., What was happening in the world that motivated or gave meaning to the visualization?).
2. Who appears to be the target audience(s) for this visualization? What qualities about the visualization and its context (i.e., where it is published) support your conclusion?
3. What story – or stories – is the author of the visualization intending to tell? What insights were gained by visualizing the data in this way that text alone could not accomplish?
4. What are some alternative ways to interpret the visualization that may not have been intended by the author? In what ways, if any, is the visualization potentially misleading?
5. How, if at all, might the interpretation of the visualization change depending on who is reading the visualization? What factors might influence these changes (e.g., the identities of the reader, level of education, cultural familiarity)?
6. What else strikes you about the visualization? How might Cairo and/or DIgnazio suggest that it be improved based on their respective frameworks for creating visualizations?

I do not expect that you will go into the same level of depth for all of these questions. Instead, I offer them here as a guide to help you structure your analysis. Ultimately, I am looking for you to move beyond simply looking at data visualizations and begin the practice of reading them.

Now that you have evaluated the marketing environment and established some marketing goals for MM, it is time to get started with the new product plan. The first step is to research the mobile phone market. Without knowing who is buying phones in certain market segments, Michelle wont know how to market MMs new product. She needs your help to determine who the market is for the new product.

Primary Task Response: Read the dialogue below. Within the Discussion Board area, write 400-600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

Michelle knows that MM needs to determine who the target customer is for the new product. She knows that marketing research needs to be done as part of this market segmentation and product development processes, but she is not well-acquainted with some of the details that are involved in the processes. She has stopped by your office to ask some questions.

Thanks for canceling your other meeting this afternoon, she says.No problem, you say. I rescheduled my meeting with multimedia; it actually works out better for them, too.
Ive heard about quantitative and qualitative research, but Im not sure I really understand the difference between the two, she begins. Im sure there are advantages and disadvantages to each of them, but without knowing, Im not sure which type of research we need to conduct. What do you think?
Before you can respond, Michelles cell phone vibrates.
Excuse me, I have to take this, she says.
Michelle takes her call and then stands up.
Well, Im sorry to do this, but I have an emergency that I have to deal with right now, she says. Would you do me a favor? Send me a memo that explains the two types of research and include brief explanations about the advantages and disadvantages of each as related to how they could be used by MM. Id like to be able to speak intelligibly to this at the next board meeting.
Sure, you respond, thinking that this will make for a pretty lengthy e-mail. I’ll also include how each method can help us define our target market. Will that help?
Yes, great idea, she replies.
Ok! Ill get that to you by close of business tomorrow, you say.
