Design like Apple, but name like P&G

Apple's naming approach is inconsistent, it begs for lawsuits (offensive and defensive) and it shouldn't be the model for your organization. iPhone is a phone, iPad is a pad, iPod is a ... (and owning a letter of the alphabet is i-mpossible).
Procter and Gamble, on the other hand, has been doing it beautifully for a hundred years. Crisco, Tide, Pringles, Bounty, Duracell--these are fanciful names that turn the generic product (and the story we believe about it) into something distinct.
If you can invent an entire category, fabulous, that's an achievement. For the rest of us, resist the temptation to be boring or to be too aggressive. It's your name and you need to live with it

From 5.02....Perception impacts image
"Some researchers have reported that colors of odor stimuli affect identification of odors. Blackwell (1995) reported that participants misidentified orange flavor solution as lime when it was colored green. Morrot et al. (2001) found that red-colored white wine was identified as red wine by 54 tasters. Sakai (2004) found that almost all participants correctly identified a cola-flavored solution when it was colored dark brown, but that many participants misidentified a cola-flavored solution as orange or tea flavor when it was colored orange. On the other hand, an orange-flavored solution was correctly identified when it was colored orange, but it was misidentified as tea or grape flavor when it was colored dark brown. These results show there are many pairings of colors and flavors that show interactions, suggesting that these interactions occur t a cognitive level, not at a peripheral or physicochemical level."

November 19, 2012 - Hostess, an indepth look

Friday marked a notable death in the family of frivolous bad-for-you snack cakes.  Hostess, the home of Twinkie the Kid, Captain Cupcake. Wonder Bread, and 269 other trademarks announced the closing of their plants and selling off of all assets (including intellectual property).

Let's understand the what......go to Hostessbrands.com and see for your self.


Hearing it straight from the CEO, let's listen in on the discussion...Hostess video


SEMII
As you can clearly gain evidence from the class and life, everything can really be considered an event.  If this is true, and it is, (#1) going back to Objective 4.....setting up an event, tell me of the risks that laid hold of Hostess Brands and became it's eventual downfall......all that apply please.

(#2) What now?  Seeing that this company will not be going forward in the same sense that it has been, picture yourself as the CEO...tell me what we, the employees are suppose to do now.  Tell me what measures you have in place to protect the good name of Hostess and its 269 trademarks.  Tell me what can we we have we can sell and at least recoup some of the $ we lost on this deal.

Quiz after we discuss Hostess on 5.01

A word from Seth Godin.....

When you don't know what to do...

That's when we find out how well you make decisions.

When don't don't have the resources to do it the usual way, that's when you show us how resourceful you are.

And when you don't know if it's going to work, that's how we find out whether or not we need you on our team.

Making instructions is harder than following them.

Free coffee, next exit

That's the most effective billboard one can imagine, particularly if it's typeset properly and if the coffee is good.

Most billboards aren't nearly as useful, because the wrong service is promoted, or, more likely, because someone saw all that space and worked hard to fill it up.

The same thing is true of most websites. You know so well the why's and how's of what you built and how terrific it is, and the thought of using just a few words when a bunch will do is frightening indeed.

No, your solution doesn't have to be simple or obvious. But the story about what it accomplishes does.

The goal of a marketing interaction isn't to close the sale, any more than the goal of a first date is to get married. No, the opportunity is to move forward, to earn attention and trust and curiosity and conversation.

Simple, clear and actionable.

The first part (30 min) of class will simply be the reading and extraction of key material from two wonderful articles.

The first, a short one concerning the set up of a U2 concert and everything involved in getting it to fruition.  Page 22-23 Feb/March 2012

The second, Super Bowl XLV, pages 36-40 Oct/Nov 2012 or around there.  No, this wasn't the most current one, rather, the one in Dallas at the new stadium...yes, the $1.3 Billion dollar one. 

Both concern themselves with facility managers and their roles within the context of these two high visability events.

Your job is to read both and list out (word document) the particular challenges the event team/manager faced in putting on such a show in each event.  Note the time required and the expense that most assurdily that came with the territory in hosting such an event. 

Thirdly, I wish you to find another article in any of the Facility Manager publications and tell me about it in one paragraph.  The third article must have something to do with the subjects we have dealt with in this class. 

These are not to be printed out.  All are to be done in the same word.doc.  You can email them to me.

Make sure you have your name and class block on each paper and in the subjectline of each email.

This will help me greatly.

The video will begin ~ 30 min into class....and last ~ 45 minutes.

The assignment is due by the end of class.
