Explain the development of an advertising campaign
What is Integrated Marketing Channels (IMC)?Integrated marketing communications (IMC) refers to integrating and coordinating the companys many communications channels (Promotional Mix) to deliver a clear, consistent, and compelling message about the organization and its products.What is the role of the Promotional Mix?Promotion Mix, or marketing communications mix, refers to the precise blend of promotion tools that the company uses to engage consumers, persuasively communicate customer value, and build customer relationships. There are five major promotion tools:Advertising is any paid form of non-personal presentation and promotion of ideas, goods, or services by an identified sponsor.Sales promotion involves short-term incentives to encourage the purchase or sale of a product or service.Personal selling is personal customer interactions with the firms sales force for the purpose of making sales and building customer relationships.Public relations refers to building good relationships with the companys various publics by obtaining favorable publicity, building up a good corporate image, and handling or heading off unfavorable rumors, stories, and events.Direct and digital marketing involves engaging directly with carefully targeted individual consumers and customer communities to both obtain an immediate response and build lasting customer relationships.IMC is Evolving, Why?In this digital, wireless world, consumers are better informed and more Communications empowered. Rather than relying on marketer-supplied information, they can use the Internet, social media, and other technologies to find information on their own.Marketers are developing focused marketing strategies designed to build closer relationships with customers in more narrowly defined target markets.Advances in digital technology are causing remarkable changes in the ways companies and customers communicate with each other.Learning ObjectivesUpon completion of the course, students will be able to:Explain the development of an advertising campaignApply advertising strategies to real-world examplesAnalyze when and how advertising and PR should be a part of a marketing campaignCreate a marketing strategy to address the needs and wants of a target marketModule Reading and ResourcesTextbook: Marketing: An Introduction, Chapter 12This chapter will provide an overview on how companies use advertising and PR as part of their larger marketing strategyAccess this resource by going to the MyMarketingLab area under the course Table of Contents menu.Presentation: Marketing Concept Glossary VModule-related marketing concepts and terms are presented.

Transcript available here.Assignment Calendar OverviewIntegrated marketing communication is a key phrase used in the marketing field. It describes a strategy that incorporates many promotional elements into a larger communication strategy. It may include advertising, personal selling, digital and social media marketing, sales promotions, and public relations. One characteristic of a promotion that is part of an integrated marketing campaign is that the message in that promotion is aligned with other promotions across other platforms. Regardless of how someone encounters the brand, the look, feel, and message will be consistent. It is important for marketing communications to be integrated, because consumers are inundated with many messages or noise from so many different media, and different consumers respond to different media types. The noise that an ad has to overcome can be substantial. Noise can be other promotions or other distractions in a customers life that prevents the customer from receiving the intended message.Figure 5.1: Diagram of Marketing Communication (Stafford, 2013)The first element that companies need to consider when developing a promotional objective is the overall objective of the campaign. This will help to determine whether advertising, PR, or another promotional strategy is the best fit for a given campaign. If advertising is a good fit for the campaign objectives, the company then goes through a series of steps to develop and launch the advertising campaign.The video Ad Campaign goes through the main steps in developing an advertising campaign:Setting the objectiveDetermining the budgetIdentifying the messagingChoosing the mediaWhen choosing media, there is much to consider. Table 5.2 from the text (Armstrong & Kotler, 2015, p. 388), presented below, outlines the advantages and limitations of the major media types. Each media type has very clear pros and cons, and one of the important challenges for marketers is to sort through all of the information available and make the best possible decision based on the product and the budget.Table 5.2: Profiles of Major Media Types (Table 12.2 from Marketing: An Introduction)Advertising and public relations (PR), that is, the management of information about an organization and the public, are two important components of a promotional strategy. There was a period in marketing history when PR was viewed as a separate marketing activity. For example, advertising agencies created Super Bowl ads and marketing campaigns, whereas PR agencies dealt with company disasters and communication failures and helped CEOs access important publications. As integrated marketing communication has become the more common way to approach marketing, PR is back into the marketing fold. A strong PR strategy can help a company build its brand, position its leaders as trusted experts in the field, and go a long way to minimize the damage when there is a corporate crisis. In addition, with the rise of social media, PR has become even more important as a customer-facing function responding in real time to customer comments and concerns.PR is a discipline focused on communication. PR professionals send out press releases to announce a new product or initiative by a company, work with journalists to ensure that company leaders are quoted in articles, and organize events that are centered on a cause. When a company successfully integrates PR into its marketing campaign, this communication is elevated with an increased focus on brand-building and promotion, rather than straight communication. The rise of content marketing has also put PR back into the spotlight. Content marketing is the section of marketing focused on creating unique content that the company can then distribute through its blogs, social media channels, email lists, and more. As this falls in the communication piece of marketing, it often falls to the PR department. A strong PR campaign is focused on customer and prospect engagement. When used strategically, PR is an important and powerful piece of an integrated marketing campaign.Now, take a minute to review this weeks glossary.ReferencesArmstrong, G., & Kotler, P. (2015).

Discuss when two or more coding languages can effectively be combined in a project.
I need help with this project and I am very lost here. Can anyone with coding knowledge and knows how to integrat C++ and Python please help? The faster I receive this the better the tip will be. If no one knows how to integrate these language and offer working code, please do not bother bidding. I will attach put in the directions below and also load the starter/wrapper code in the attachments. Also the input list is provided , but can provide the link if necessary. Thanks. ScenarioYou are doing a fantastic job at Chada Tech in your new role as a junior developer, and you exceeded expectations in your last assignment for Airgead Banking. Since your team is impressed with your work, they have given you another, more complex assignment. Some of the code for this project has already been completed by a senior developer on your team. Because this work will require you to use both C++ and Python, the senior developer has given you the code to begin linking between C++ and Python. Your task is to build an item-tracking program for the Corner Grocer, which should incorporate all of their requested functionality.The Corner Grocer needs a program that analyzes the text records they generate throughout the day. These records list items purchased in chronological order from the time the store opens to the time it closes. They are interested in rearranging their produce section and need to know how often items are purchased so they can create the most effective layout for their customers. The program that the Corner Grocer is asking you to create should address the following three requirements for a given text-based input file that contains a list of purchased items for a single day:Produce a list of all items purchased in a given day along with the number of times each item was purchased.Produce a number representing how many times a specific item was purchased in a given day.Produce a text-based histogram listing all items purchased in a given day, along with a representation of the number of times each item was purchased.As you complete this work, your manager at Chada Tech is interested to see your thought process regarding how you use the different programming languages, C++ and Python. To help explain your rationale, you will also complete a written explanation of your codes design and functionality.DirectionsOne of Pythons strengths is its ability to search through text and process large amounts of data, so that programming language will be used to manage internal functions of the program you create. Alternatively, C++ will be used to interface with users who are interested in using the prototype tracking program.Grocery Tracking ProgramBegin with a Visual Studio project file that has been set up correctly to work with both C++ and Python, as you have done in a previous module. Remember to be sure you are working in Release mode, rather than Debug mode. Then add the CS210_Starter_CPP_Code and CS210_Starter_PY_Code files, linked in the Supporting Materials section, to their appropriate tabs within the project file so that C++ and Python will be able to effectively communicate with one another. After you have begun to code, you will also wish to access the CS210_Project_Three_Input_File, linked in the Supporting Materials section, to check the functionality and output of your work.As you work, continue checking your codes syntax to ensure your code will run. Note that when you compile your code, you will be able to tell if this is successful overall because it will produce an error message for any issues regarding syntax. Some common syntax errors are missing a semicolon, calling a function that does not exist, not closing an open bracket, or using double quotes and not closing them in a string, among others.Use C++ to develop a menu display that asks users what they would like to do. Include options for each of the three requirements outlined in the scenario and number them 1, 2, and 3. You should also include an option 4 to exit the program. All of your code needs to effectively validate user input.Create code to determine the number of times each individual item appears. Here you will be addressing the first requirement from the scenario to produce a list of all items purchased in a given day along with the number of times each item was purchased. Note that each grocery item is represented by a word in the input file. Reference the following to help guide how you can break down the coding work.Write C++ code for when a user selects option 1 from the menu. Select and apply a C++ function to call the appropriate Python function, which will display the number of times each item (or word) appears.Write Python code to calculate the frequency of every word that appears from the input file. It is recommended that you build off the code you have already been given for this work.Use Python to display the final result of items and their corresponding numeric value on the screen.Create code to determine the frequency of a specific item. Here you will be addressing the second requirement from the scenario to produce a number representing how many times a specific item was purchased in a given day. Remember an item is represented by a word and its frequency is the number of times that word appears in the input file. Reference the following to help guide how you can break down the coding work.Use C++ to validate user input for option 2 in the menu. Prompt a user to input the item, or word, they wish to look for. Write a C++ function to take the users input and pass it to Python.Write Python code to return the frequency of a specific word. It will be useful to build off the code you just wrote to address the first requirement. You can use the logic you wrote but modify it to return just one value; this should be a fairly simple change (about one line). Next, instead of displaying the result on the screen from Python, return a numeric value for the frequency of the specific word to C++.Write a C++ function to display the value returned from Python. Remember, this should be displayed on the screen in C++. We recommend reviewing the C++ functions that have already been provided to you for this work.Create code to graphically display a data file as a text-based histogram. Here you will be addressing the third requirement from the scenario: to produce a text-based histogram listing all items purchased in a given day, along with a representation of the number of times each item was purchased. Reference the following to help guide how you can break down the coding work:Use C++ to validate user input for option 3 in the menu. Then have C++ prompt Python to execute its relevant function.Write a Python function that reads an input file (CS210_Project_Three_Input_File, which is linked in the Supporting Materials section) and then creates a file, which contains the words and their frequencies. The file that you create should be named frequency.dat, which needs to be specified in your C++ code and in your Python code. Note that you may wish to refer to work you completed in a previous assignment where you practiced reading and writing to a file. Some of your code from that work may be useful to reuse or manipulate here. The frequency.dat file should include every item (represented by a word) paired with the number of times that item appears in the input file. For example, the file might read as follows:Potatoes 4Pumpkins 5Onions 3Write C++ code to read the frequency.dat file and display a histogram. Loop through the newly created file and read the name and frequency on each row. Then print the name, followed by asterisks or another special character to represent the numeric amount. The number of asterisks should equal the frequency read from the file. For example, if the file includes 4 potatoes, 5 pumpkins, and 3 onions then your text-based histogram may appear as represented below. However, you can alter the appearance or color of the histogram in any way you choose.Potatoes ****Pumpkins *****Onions ***Apply industry standard best practices such as in-line comments and appropriate naming conventions to enhance readability and maintainability. Remember that you must demonstrate industry standard best practices in all your code to ensure clarity, consistency, and efficiency. This includes the following:Using input validation and error handling to anticipate, detect, and respond to run-time and user errors (for example, make sure you have option 4 on your menu so users can exit the program)Inserting in-line comments to denote your changes and briefly describe the functionality of the codeUsing appropriate variable, parameter, and other naming conventions throughout your codeProgramming Languages ExplanationConsider the coding work you have completed for the grocery-tracking program. You will now take the time to think more deeply regarding how you were able to combine two different programming languages, C++ and Python, to create a complete program. The following should be completed as a written explanation.Explain the benefits and drawbacks of using C++ in a coding project. Think about the user-focused portion of the grocery-tracking program you completed using C++. What control does this give you over the user interface? How does it allow you to use colors or formatting effectively?Explain the benefits and drawbacks of using Python in a coding project. Think about the analysis portions of the grocery-tracking program you completed using Python. How does Python allow you to deal with regular expressions? How is Python able to work through large amounts of data? What makes it efficient for this process?Discuss when two or more coding languages can effectively be combined in a project. Think about how C++ and Pythons different functions were able to support one another in the overall grocery-tracking program. How do the two function well together? What is another scenario where you may wish to use both? Then, consider what would happen if you added in a third language or switched Python or C++ for something else. In past courses, you have worked with Java as a possible example. What could another language add that would be unique or interesting? Could it help you do something more effectively or efficiently in the grocery-tracking program?

Define and discuss your denominational or faith tradition.
Wk1: DevotionIn this current topics course, which focuses on change that is relevant to you as a professional, we will be studying issues that impact us. In a rapidly changing world, its good to know that Gods nature does not change and that He is a rock of stability when everything around us seems to be built on shifting sand. The weekly devotions, therefore, will focus on Gods stable, unchanging character. For this first week, the devotional looks, in general, at the times we live inthe societal and spiritual context for this current topics course. There are two parts to this weeks devotional:1. Define and discuss your denominational or faith tradition. Please keep this part short (maximum 100 words). For example, you might say, I have grown up in the Church of the Nazarene and currently attend a Nazarene church. The Church of the Nazarene is a protestant denomination with a Wesleyan Holiness tradition.2. Read 2 Timothy, Chapter 3, and discuss its implications for current topics in leadership and management course. You are expected to support your initial posting with the use of scripture or a Bible commentary. You must cite your sources in your posting using proper APA format. This means that, at the bottom of your post, you should have a references section (with the heading References), followed by a listing of your references in APA format.Note that when you cite scripture, you should include the book, chapter, and verse. The first time you cite scripture in your reflection, include the version of the Bible used, spelled out, in the citation, such as (John 3:16, New Living Translation, 1996/2015). If you continue using the same version, then later citations of scripture require only the book, chapter, and verse, as in (Matt 28:20). The book name may be abbreviated, for more information, see https://guide.unwsp.edu/c.php?g=199947&p=1315631#s-lib-ctab-3983352-2.Include the Bible in your list of references.
