Slogan consideration
Hope you all see this. In discussions with other students, it was suggested that the slogans we picked were generic and more promotional than speaking directly to the menace of binge drinking to the 18-24 target market. It was suggested that a preventative slogan a la Jonas Brothers abstinence pledge be considered. So something like bInge with a capital I to emphasize the I could be used....since this is the millenial generation consumed with oneself...and then, at the top something like pledge to not Binge Drink during the rites of passage such as 18th birthday, 21st birthday, 1st spring break, 1st tailgate, 1st pledging, etc...just a thought...but the main thing is...we are not thinking preventively....

Below is a list of our advertising teams plus some deadlines each must comply with. A "D" by your name means you are one of the directors for this group.
Finance Team – Tania Garcia-D, Jennifer Garcia-D, Joe Hamon, Skye Limon, Greg Stelfox, Lisa Lane.
This team must secure as much financing as possible. It is in charge of the flier/poster that is expected to raise at least $1,000 for us and also of making sure our fund-raising money is deposited into the Javelina Press Club account.
Research Team – J.R. Quintanilla-D, Edwin Vasquez-D, , Joe Hamon-D, Jennifer García, Tania García, Melinda Sepulveda, Savannah Martínez.
This team must make sure that the questions for our survey are ready and have been validated before general distribution. Also, it is in charge of coordinating the Focus Group study. The survey and the focus group study must be done within the next 10 days. It is responsible, also, for writing the research section of the Plan Book and Presentation and assisting with graphics for the Plan Book and Presentation.
Graphics and Production Team – David Brott-D, Al Andaya-D, Gregorio Stelfox, Lisa Lane, Jennifer García, Savannah Martínez.
This group is responsible for establishing the graphic pattern representation for our team in every element, including the Plan Book and the Presentation. The team is also responsible for a graphic and video information, including the shooting and editing of the television commercials and the recording of the radio commercials. It is also responsible for any guerrilla tactics developed by our team.
Plan Book Team – David Brott-D, D-Al Andaya, J.R. Quintanilla-D, Greg Stelfox, Edwin Vasquez, Savannah Martínez, Skye Limon, Tania García, Jennifer García, Lisa Lane.
This team must develop the design of the Plan Book, make sure it is followed throughout every page, and make sure it is sent off to AAF on deadline. The team must also develop the "material or text" for the Plan Book and ensure that it correlates with the script and power point of the Presentation Team.
Presentation Team – (To be Determined).
This team is responsible for all of the Presentation. It must coordinate practices, write the script and ask for any special effects it feels is needed for the presentation. The team will work closely with the Graphics and Production Team.
Costume/Stagecraft Team – Savannah Martinez-D, Skye Limon-AD, Lisa Lane.
This team must make sure we have enough money to afford our "shirts" and "uniforms." It will also work with the Presentation Team to decide the style of dress during the presentation. Last year, for example, the group decided our presenters would go "business casual" while the rest of the team wore light yellow polo shirts to the presentation.
Of course, the students in the class have final say so as to the duties and responsibilities of each team. This is YOUR TEAM.

Presenters Tally - How did you stack up?
Todd and I both want to thank all of the students on our team who tried out to become presenters. What you did was not easy. Speaking in front of any audience is difficult. Trying to follow a power point while a spot light is shining at you makes it even harder. Trying to deal with technological challenges complicates the matter even more. All of these elements were imposed upon our aspiring presenters because what they will face in real life at the National Advertising Student Competition sponsored by the American Advertising Federation is even tougher. So, it's a good test run.
The presenters were judged by a panel of experts, including a representative from Texas A&M University-Kingsville Advertising firm. Here is how they ranked our presenters.
1) Lisa Lane
2) Tania Garcia
3) Savannah Martinez
They picked these three as presenters, in no particular order.
They picked the following as alternates to be chosen by us, in this order.
4) Jennifer Garcia
5) Melinda Sepulveda
6) David Brott
Todd and I still have to tally our thoughts and those of the students (some students have yet to rank our presenters). We will be announcing the choices at Tuesday's class.
Well, don't stress. Every one has a role to play on this team and all of us will work very hard to make sure we give ourselves the best chance to succeed and to make a positive impression for our team and our university.
They left it up to the class to break up the tie at the bottom but were adamant about keeping the top three presenters in the final presentation team. We can have as many as four presenters plus a "techie" in our presentation team. That means we can have four presenters, 1 alternate and one techie....for our purposes. I will double-check on that buy for now we have at least a start and it's time to get to work. Again, all of you did wonderful.

Pick a slogan blog postings here Sunday, Feb. 15, 4 p.m.
Hello class and Happy Belated Valentine's Day. Todd and I hope all of you had a special something from a special someone that you feel makes you feel as special as you are. If not, Todd and I say, "You're special!"
Today we will be selecting a slogan, or two or three to test in our Focus Group study set sometime during the next 10 days at a place and time still to be disclosed. The Research team directors - J.R. Quintanilla, Edwin Vasquez and Joe Hamon - must coordinate the focus group study.

Uniform discussion
We need to review our decision for "uniforms" or "dress" for the April conference and for publicity photos. We need to know what costs are entailed and if we want to secure sponsorship for this part of our expenses. Savannah, if you are in charge of this, lets take care of it by next Tuesday.
Advertising Team Poster - Ad letters ready
In our last class meeting it was decided that we again do our Advertising Team flier/poster. It was also decided at that time that we sell "spots" on the flier/poster. The discussion centered on selling business card size ads at $25. Two times that size at $50 and three times business card size for $100. Essentially, business card size is 2X2 inches, twice that size is 4X4 inches and four times that 6X6. Some business, however, will be satisfied by printing of their logo, address and phone number. We can do that, as well. Each one of us was to sell $100 worth of ads.
Also, the letter for the advertisers is ready. I will have some for class and others are available from Mrs. Ilda Ruiz in the Comm-TA office in the Speech Building. We need to discuss this.
