Abstract
This paper provides the strategic framework for the public relations campaign for Laptop India and its
personal assistant product (PA). The PA is an innovative laptop product that is intended to undercut the expanding laptop market in terms of functionality price and portability. The PA will be launched according to a tactical public relations plan that is based on sponsorship, an open house, a press conference, direct mail, collateral and an intensive internet media blitz. The public relations campaign's objectives are two fold: 1) to introduce the company and its values to the Indian market where good relations are a must because that is where it is both designed and manufactured and 2) to introduce both the company and the product to Laptop India's home market which is North America. The total budget for the initial public relations campaign is $73,000.

Abstract
The writer of this essay offers a definition of the term 'marketing' based on her own understanding of the word as well as on the definitions provided by two other sources. The paper also addresses the question as to why marketing is so important to the success of an organization, using three real world examples that illustrate how marketing affects the success of a business.
From the Paper
"Marketing is very important to the success of a business. Before people can buy a product or service they have to know about it. However, marketing entails more than just letting people know what your company has to offer. Throughout this paper, I will define marketing, offering my personal definition as well as more formal definitions from other sources. Furthermore, I will explain to the reader the importance of marketing to organizational success giving real world examples in support of this explanation. The field of marketing can include many things. I believe, however, that the most important thing which it should include is communication with customers as to the value and benefits of using that particular company's products and services. It should help to establish the business's niche in the industry and distinguish it from other such businesses."

2,250 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 0 sources, $ 89.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines Intel, the global leader in microprocessors that computer manufacturers use in their production of computers. According to this paper, Intel employs over 86,000 people worldwide and in 2001 generated revenues of $26 billion. Intel's market dominance seems to be accompanied by an irrational paranoia that Intel must be more than a microprocessor manufacturer in the way that Nike is more than a shoe company but a lifestyle producer. It begins with Intel's Red X marketing campaign and continues on with the Blue Men Group marketing campaign. The paper further discusses how Intel has sought market differentiation based not on product specification but on cultural iconography.

Globalized Mass Media, 2006.
A discussion regarding globalization, communications, and the mass media.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 3 sources, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how the major interest being served in the new globalized mass media is certainly those of the wealthy elites in American and other powerful countries in the world. The paper focuses on communication which helps to confirm that misinformation and lack of corporation control on convergence or monopolies is lacking in American government. Since America is at the head of the new globalization now in effect, one can see how the majority of the world's citizens live in poverty in comparison to the ration with the income to the rich elites.
From the Paper
"In this study, the premise of mass communications will be observed within the guidelines of globalization and the convergence of media ownership by a few large and elite corporations. By observing and analyzing this perspective of how the world is being controlled through monopolistic enterprise, the issue of communication becomes the consumer identity of the private corporation, not for the public citizen. By realizing how globalization affects this construct, one can understand that this "Brave New World" revolves around corporate identity and unavailability of individual identity. In essence, globalization is structuring the corporate monopoly identity in mass media, which is devolving diversity and humanistic identity for the greater good."

Shoes for Social Conscience, 2006.
A discussion regarding how alternative culture makes us into corporate toadies.
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 3 sources, $ 62.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This essay explores the culture of culture jamming via Blackspot sneakers and how this sales campaign reveals that the self-identified socially conscious are possibly competitive consumers rather than social care-takers. This discussion focuses on the media coverage; promotion and marketing materials of the Blackspot sneakers recently deemed "one of the 12 hottest urban brands" as an example of a consumer product that represents the counterculture in the sum of its parts.
From the Paper
"In an early publishing of an article in Forbes magazine, Adbusters' Blackspot sneakers were discussed in terms of their unrealistic ability to take on mega-brands such as Nike. Still, and as noted in the article, Adbusters has managed to sell 20,000 pairs since 2003 (Whelan, n.p.). Even with the cost of manufacturing, this sales figure can easily be worth up to a half million dollars in profit over three years; not bad for a small alternative magazine outfit in B.C. Interestingly, to even entering in this conversation, one must acknowledge that Adbusters has become part of the mainstream culture, where concerns of sales and marketing are central topics."

From the Paper
"Travelocity is one of the most successful online merchants of discounted airfare in the travel industry. It is also one of the most innovative. Travelocity recently instituted a new marketing campaign based on RSS (Really Simple Syndication) technology which is in reality nothing more than a marketing device to extend the reach of Travelocity's marketing collateral and products (Bicknell, 2006). RSS is a web-based technology that allows websites to immediately distribute content to users' desktops and for users who have installed the RSS service application, to automatically receive these web broadcasts without physically or consciously having to remember to do so."

Advertising in Turkey, 2006.
A look at the cultural sensitivity required for advertising in the Turkish banking and financial services sector.
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 3 sources, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses advertising in the Turkish market and particularly in the banking and financial services sector. In the Turkish market the single most important aspect for the advertiser or marketer is accounting for the Islamic culture and Shari'ah or Islamic law. In Turkey, politics, religion, and culture are all inter-related and must be considered in the development of a marketing plan and marketing collateral.
From the Paper
"Advertising in Turkey is both an exercise in modern media development and an exercise in extreme cultural sensitivity and it is difficult to navigate between them. Past researchers have noted that Turkey is an evolving advertising market: "One of the major driving forces behind this transformation has been the rapidly growing media, which have promoted Western-style lifestyles, values, and consumption through private radio and television channels" (Uray & Burnaz, 2003, para. 7). While developing advertising strategies and marketing collateral for a cosmopolitan area like Istanbul is less problematic than other regions of the country, great care must be made to accommodate the cultural factor in the Turkish market. This is especially important in the financial and banking sector in Turkey that not only operates within an Islamic culture but within a legal framework of Shari'ah or Islamic legal restrictions."
