Batch 2 and 3 Tasks for On-line Marketing Management Class Oct. 29, 2010

Here are the batch 2 and batch 3 tasks for the on-line class.

Group 1: Ngui, Cantilleps, Cruz, Ren, Enriquez, Labrador, Marty Reyes, Tsoi, Monedero, Mendoza

Group 2: Lee, Situmorang, Uy, Espiritu, San Pedro, Bombasi, Matias, Manalang, Lea Reyes, Sumera

The groups are for Batch 2 task. You have to evaluate the 10 Step Marketing Plans of your groupmates posted in the discussion board. The link is...
http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=142&post=1039&uid=108200742563139#post1039
Will refer to this as link 3

Use link 4 below to evaluate your groupmates' 10 step plans. Remember 3 means giving exactly what was expected while 4 means going beyond and 2 means not providing everything. So far, each student should evaluate 9 groupmates.
Link 4 is here...
http://www.hypermarketing2.com/2010/06/10-step-marketing-plan-peer-edition.html

If your name is not on the 2 groups above, then it means you haven't posted to Link3 as of this time. You will not be given a chance to evaluate your classmates unless you have your own plan posted on link 3.
Cecil Alona just posted her link. She is now part of group 1, which now has 11 members. However, group 1 members need to only evaluate 9 groupmates and it is up to you to choose which group member not to evaluate.

This will be the same policy for any late postings of 10 step marketing plans. The latecome will be added to a group but everyone will still evaluate only 9 groupmembers using link 4.
Last Task for the Day:

Pls. post a comment on this link:
http://150voices.blogspot.com/2010/10/prof-remigio-de-ungria-survey-on-line.html

Then, for next week prepare to present your 10 Step Product Marketing Plan in 5 minutes.

Please complete all your tasks on or before 12 midnight tonight. You can now take our standard 20 minute break. I do know that in cyberspace this could be much longer.

For those who have not yet posted their links to the 10 step product marketing plans or were absent from this on-line class, you are automatically part of group 2.

Notes from September 03, 2010 session

Notes from September 03, 2010 session

 

by  Maritess Velez and Ryan Uy

 

The recently concluded marketing forum was assessed.  It was a successful activity.  Learnings were taken home by the attendees, evidently applied even in the classroom discussion. 

 

Some enhancements of the official forum website, http://inceptionmarketingforum.blogspot.com/ were suggested.  To mention a few:

1.       Increase the font size of the texts

2.       Include the inception logo in all related power point presentation

3.       Include the speaker's name in the program schedule

4.       Hyperlink student names using LinkedIn profile

 

The intense of the classroom discussion started after the presentation of the Prudential (Korea) TV commercial, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaCxlS6Wsos.  The advertisement tackled the reality of life, shown in an emotional story of a father and son.  There was a consensus in the class that the scene has contrast:  the uncertainty- future and the certainty- death.  So, for our loved ones, we might have to consider preparing for a more financially secured future. 

 

As bottom line, like an insurance company, "position self as a problem solver".  Furthermore, like the daughter in the story of the three cows, "see self as a thousand worth of cows". 

 

Assignments / reminders were given by coach:

1.       September 09, Thursday (11:59pm):  Revise the ten questions in the format "Question-Concept-Answer"

-           Send/ Post (a) Email (b) Blog and (c) Facebook

 

2.       September 10, Friday     :  No classes, a regular holiday in observance of the Feast of Ramadan

:  under http://www.hypermarketing2.com/p/hyper-map.html

Do a Checkpoint of Tasks 1-30 by doing Task 31

 

3.       September 17, Friday:  Concept exam

-          80% of the questions come from class contribution (ten questions)

-          20% of the questions come from Coach

 

4.       September 23, Thursday (11:59pm):  20 year plan

-           Send/ Post (a) Email and (b) Blog

 

5.       September 24, Friday:  Individual Oral Presentation of the 20yr plan in class

Checkpoint: Look at the Course Map and See if You Have Done Tasks 1-30

Have you really been following the course? Check out the tasks which you should have done by Sep. 2

Inception: Creating Lifelong Positioning Statements for Personal Brands, Session 4 Summary

Marketing Forum in 2 Weeks? Possible with 10 Step Marketing Plan!
By: Rose Mendoza (Group 4)

The August 13 Marketing Management session started with Groups 6 & 7 presenting their assigned topics for Building Brands. Group 7 reported on the topic, “Competing with Value-based Companies” while Group 6 handled “Writing a Positioning Statement”.

Group 7 noted that for companies to be able to compete well against those which offer “more for less”, additional twists may be adopted for the existing differentiation and execution imperatives.

In this regard, Coach drew a diagram on the board with two (2) relevant variables: quality and price to be referred in comparing the position of a company or its competitors in the market. He noted that there are companies who are pricing their products or services more than the quality they offer. He labeled these companies as “Ripping Off Consumers Companies” while those companies who price their products or services less than the actual quality, are labeled as “Value-based Companies”. He further emphasized that there are actually segments in the market who would be satisfied by “less”. Sometimes, “more” doesn’t mean better, and “less” is what customers actually need and are looking for in product and service offerings. He gave examples such as the evolution of the Sony walkman from bulky components with huge speakers to portable music device. He stressed that Sony recognized the real needs of its walkman customers who just love to listen to music. It did let go of other nonessentials and focused on how to meet customer demands. As we all know, it turned out to be a huge success on their part. Another related example is that of RyanAir which prides itself of very low cost flights from one point to another. It does however, earn from charging other services which is likewise quite striking!

The next topic, “Writing a Positioning Statement” was presented by Group 6. To be able to write a great positioning statement the following elements must be present: target market, brand/concept, and point of difference.

Coach clarified to the class that a tagline is just an execution of a positioning statement. And just like an elevator statement, a positioning statement is how you would want to be understood by your target market in a way that you could communicate to them the point of difference that will make your product or service stand-out from competition.

He reiterated that more than any other brand, the most important brand to us is ourselves. He gave the students’ LinkedIn elevator speeches as examples. He asked us to rewrite our elevator speeches within five minutes and compare those with what we have already posted. Here are the V52’s Revised Elevator Speeches:

Mel – Area Manager who runs the day-to-day operations of a chain of bakeshops and finds ways to make the operations more productive;
Marose – Provides financial solutions and data requirements to the sales force;
Nicole – Coordinates with government agencies and various organizations for conflict resolution trainings to learn mediation as an alternative dispute resolution method;
Andrei – Motivating and training individuals, corporate people and entrepreneurs thru the Andrei John Cantilleps Solutions in holistic approach;
Lea – Accountant who offers personalized service with honesty and integrity;
Rose – A partner in molding and enriching young Bulakenos to become highly competitive and ethical business professionals through value-adding finance concepts and applications;
Ryan – Expert researcher on CSR and governance at AIM; Quality is guaranteed;
Cecil – Providing value-based information to top shareholders of companies listed abroad at Thomson Reuters;
Israel – Sales and marketing specialist for manufacturing and advertising companies;
Tanya – Provides excellent employment opportunities to Finance and Accounting individuals interested to be part of a global investment bank;
Berly – An employee in Sykes Asia Company and a student in AGSB;
Martin – One of the few good men you can see in government service;
Macky – 6 years of HR experience in IBM. Ensures that employee needs are met with high expectations;
Macy – A student studying in Ateneo, taking an MBA course; As a Chinese Customer Support Associate and telemarketer for 3 years, I am good at providing satisfying service to our customers;
Grace – Provides decision-makers with analytical support to achieve optimal balance between risk management and business strategy;
Allan – Provides quality analysis for companies through Six Sigma and business systems;
Tons – Helps food companies to create first-class food safety procedures that can provide quality product to every consumer;
Leeyhan Frank – ensures relationship management between BPI existing and new clients by emphasizing on customer satisfaction;
Noel – Provides global and innovative business and financial solutions to diverse clients;
Mark – Wait for it…True Story;
Maritess – Provides general accounting services to BPO companies through account analysis and task execution;
Lesley – An architect that has worked on both sides of the coin: as a designer, dealing with space planning and “creating dreams” and as a contractor, in-charge of implementation and of “making dreams a reality.” With 6 years of working experience in both design and construction. I am the youngest and the first female project manager of Datem Inc., a major construction company in the Philippines.
Nikki – Passionate practitioner of HR services to client’s contributing teamwork, collaboration and process improvements to client’s services;

The discussion was directed to Coach’s presentation of the 10 Step Marketing Plan. You may follow this link for viewing of the presentation: http://www.hypermarketing2.com/p/free-file-downloads.html

Moving on the expected Marketing Forum of the V52 Class, Coach led us to a process in which we could actually make use of the 10 step marketing plan in our very own class project. We have identified that the forum’s target are students of AGSB specifically those who are enrolled in a marketing class and those who are enrolled on a Friday class. Other market would be those who are interested on the topic and those who would be required for attendance. As for the need that must be addressed by the forum, these are basically the need for information from very good speakers, marketing experiences, break from class, networks, free food, certificates, and raffles. Competitors of the forum were likewise identified which include the regular classes, Powerplant, gimmick night, and rest/home. The Marketing forum would then have to offer some things better than competition which would enable us to be chosen amidst the number of options. These would be our points of difference which could revolve around the value-adding speaker and information that may be gained from the activity.

Next is the discussion on the determination of specific tasks that must be accomplished, streamlining of speakers who may be invited, finalization of the forum theme and schedule which is August 27, assignment of buddy tasks, and reminders on task updates through the FB Discussion Board.

The night ended with high hopes on the Marketing Forum. Indeed, it is a Marketing Plan in action!

The BRAND called YOU

Session 3: The BRAND called YOU

By Tanya Labrador

The August 6 session was mostly about the basic concepts of Branding, of which discussions revolved around the presentations made by the first 5 groups. Coach and the class critiqued the presentations and reporters based on the 13 Steps to Powerful Presentation and gave additional input to topics discussed by each group for a more insightful discussion.

On branding equity and value, coach shared and reiterated the difference between the two.

Brand equity is the "symbol/ representation that tells you all that". For example, a question posed to the class was "Why do we go to McDonald's?" Reasons vary, such as, "it's something that we trust" or "something that we have connection with".

e.g "Ateneo" brand adds equity to you.

Equity answers the question to "if you put a brand to something, how much will it cost?" This now contributes to the value of a brand.

However, brand equity doesn't just mean having a good and positive brand. Decreasing brand equity can mean having a negative brand as well especially if there's bad association with the brand.

Brand value, on the other hand, is "something more to the total of the brand". It's what people actually are willing to pay for your company and is determined by the market.

Why do we put brands? - It's what makes you "different" to minds of consumers

This "difference" is very much related to the assignment for next week (August 13) which is creating our very own brand as the most important brand mentioned by coach is "YOU".

Assignment 1: The Brand Called "YOU".

Objective of the assignment is building equity on "your name/s" by making full use of personal brand through creating your niche in the Internet.

Tasks:

1.     Create an account/ profile at Linkedin.com.

2.     Make a marketing oriented Linkedin profile.

3.     Put "desirable" things about you that prospective customers/ employers/ companies would be interested to find out about you.  

  

Elements of a good Linkedin profile:

1.     Photo: Has recent, professional, smiling, colored picture (wearing business attire)

* Avoid posting photos of you being with someone in the pic

* Not college or highschool photo please

 

2.     Connections: Should have strong connections (more professional connections/ contacts the better)

3.     Recommendations: Get at least 3 recommendations from connections/ people you have worked with 

* What people say about you adds value to you

* Shows perspective of where recommendation is coming from            

 

4.     Elevator Speech: Summary

* Put in summary part a short description of what your work is all about for brand positioning

Additional tasks/ reminders:

1.     Decide what industry you are in and how you will make yourself relevant to the market that has demand for someone like you.

2.     Customize URL to easily direct others to your profile.

3.     Put title and company in work history/ employment background (this will project and give value to your brand).

4.     Put measurable tasks/ achievements.

5.     Description of tasks and responsibilities should be in present tense for your present company.

6.     And previous companies should be in past tense (action-oriented).

7.     Post customized URL (personal linkedin link) to FB Discussion Board under Linkedin Profiles after a short summary about you.

Example:

20 years Creating Breakthrough Hypermakerting Solutions for Companies and Individuals


http://ph.linkedin.com/in/josephdeungria

IMPORTANT REMINDER: No need to do individual chapter homework for next week (Q&A Presentation)! Reporting for this will be move to the following week after August 13 but still read assigned chapters of the book.

 

Assignment 2: Plan for the MARKETING FORUM

Instead of submitting an individual Marketing Plan, we will have a live application wherein we will organize a Marketing Forum as a class.

The marketing forum will happen on August 27/ September 3 (already), between 6pm – 8:30 pm so planning is a critical task for everyone.

On August 13, the class will have a planning workshop for the forum so each group is assigned to submit the following before the class:

1.     Determine 2 speakers (most likely will be available on those dates)

a.    Include position/ title

b.    Company

c.     Experiences

2.     Theme of the forum (based on speakers)

3.     How do we promote the event (promotional materials)?

Post group answers in FB (coach will create topic for this) but individual suggestions (in the above format) are welcomed as well.

Also, please do not forget to forget to follow our blog: v52marketing.blogspot.com and HyperMarketing 2.0. If you have a GMail account (which you should have by now) it would just be a breeze following the blog. Just go the website (click on the links of our class blog and HyperMarketing), look for the Followers in any of the sidebars of the blog or website and click on follow (in this case, both websites have Followers on the right sidebar. If successful, you will see your profile picture (no, not from Facebook) from Blogspot. If no picture came out but you see your name as you place your cursor on the latest follower, then you should visit your Blogspot account and add your picture.

Next, follow vCoach fanpage in Facebook (I think you're more okay with this). Just go to the fanpage: vCoach and click Like just beside the fanpage name.

That's a mouthful! Now, let's proceed with the other things happened. Thanks to Zen (Zennia Davantes) who made a comprehensive recap of what happened.

Session 1: An On-line Awakening

By: Cecil Alona

I learned that marketing is just not about making money out of advertising or promotion. It entails a lot of strategy and planning to generate profit and also satisfying customer’s need by adding value to the services and product they offer.

The 3C’s of Marketing is essential in making managerial decision like the Customers, they are not always right because people have different ideas and needs. The second is the Company, doing business for the long term, making profitable decision by meeting the planned targets and the third one is the Competition which is benchmarking, comparing the performance of your company to one’s performance. Having a research on the percentage share of the market.

Marketing is focused on the need, want and demand of its customers. We must take note that people buy because they need it but because they want it. They choose the brand, its quality and price that’s why it is based on their want.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs is very ordinal, from the top most part it is Self actualization, for self development and realization. Second is Esteem Needs , it is the person’s self-esteem, and the person’s need for recognition and status. Next is, Social Need, which is the sense of belongingness and love. Fourth is Safety needs, and this security and protection of each and every individual. And last is Physiological needs, this is foremost the need of all being.

Prof. De Ungria also introduced as to a new way of learning which by blogging. It is to show that learning does not only exist in the classroom but by also in the web thru emails, blog and etc. I see it also the best way of communicating because people nowadays find information easily on the internet. It also enhances our technological skills of using different application and tools.
He asked us to create accounts in facebook, blogspot and gmail so that we could post our assignments and projects there. It can be easily seen by other people thus making information available for all.
