comments by the teacher for improvement in the power point presenation based on which the report has to be written:
Criteria Ratings
Brand
Comments
– Brand introduction- Interesting concept- need for elaboration on how this would be rendered. Vision, mission and values can be included. What is the USP of the brand though- what are the current alternates in the market? Practicalities not clearly relayed.
Market research is devoid of any facts and information on the market conditions- where in UAE?
– Semiotics- Name and logo connection attempted, technicality of choice can be further explored with semiotic literature. A connection to a familial connection and community build-up is conveyed well.
– Segmentation- the layers of segmentation are not broached upon; clear focused detail and data (such as published syndicate reports) is amiss. Market research could bring in more published and valid reports, necessary for evidence building-target segment, is there a community need for the same? Can the targeting clarify which one is the primary and which one is the secondary segment? That may help to know which one is to be gone ahead with in the strategy plan and IMC.
Brand personality and attributes could be more strongly connected to the segment then.
– Competitive analysis- Points of parity and points of difference and the value proposition included – comparison chart was important, should have explored. A further pathway for building brand equity could be included.
IMC
Comments
IMC model- A clear IMC model not chosen for representing the overarching IMC strategy- should be included for a clearer strategy focus.
IMC strategy framework is not relayed.
– Communication strategy is hazy with no imminent connection made to the target segment.
– Choice of channels made–no clear data or logical flow to explain the choices. some interesting ideas- connect to the target segment and then how these build equity.
– Inclusion of budgets, media plan and way forward for the communications to connect to marketing performance and metrics is not included.
– Challenges in IMC and brand development not included
Brand equity- no brand development initiative to relay how the brand would grow past launch. Practical notions are amiss.
Communication
Comments
– Structure and flow is fair- The detailing can be improved along factual and strategy elements.
Text heavy slides, could have made use of infographic representation, animation and charts for a visually clearer representation.
– In-text citations within the slides is provided.
– The structure and flow could be further tightened; some important elements of the assignment are neglected
