The MADE (Marketing and Advertising Education) summer internship sourcing program is the first Pathways 2020 program from the ANA Educational Foundation. This program originated from the findings uncovered in the study entitled “Bridging the Talent Disconnect: Charting Pathways to Future Growth“. There was a resounding call across all key stakeholders surveyed in the study – students, academia and industry – about the need to have a robust internship experience as a critical step to future entry-level employment in the advertising and marketing industry. Founded as a partnership between the ANA Educational Foundation and the Alliance for Inclusive and Multicultural Marketing with a goal of 50% of MADE Interns placed come from a diverse background as defined by ethnicity and gender.

In your marketing strategic plan, your team has to describe how you will measure the success of your social media campaign. Read about these various social media analytic tools in this PC Magazine article.
Discuss with your team and figure out which one is best for your client and your particular social media campaign.
We’ll talk more about these options on Monday.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!
Dear Students:
What do you think of this NYTimes article about Juul? Great timing since we just discussed this in class the other week!
We’ve covered marketing ethics and are now reading about digital marketing. Do you think Juul deliberately marketed to teens? What do you think of Juul’s claims that it will close its Facebook and Instagram sites?
Post your thoughts by November 19th and respond to at least one classmate.
This post from YaYa Tea’s instagram is effective in helping their brand because it showcases their products in a very aesthetically pleasing way. It displays their famous onigiris, their drinks that come with a cute side note, and as shown in the back ground, the large selection of delicious treats. The quality of the photo is great, colorful, and eye-catching!
This particular post of Yaya Tea is effective because, in my opinion, it was the most active with their followers. Yaya Tea did a collaboration with Room for Tea NYC Pop Up Art Room and gave a contest with the followers to win a ticket to visit the event. This post ensured active followers, spread of the word for Yaya Tea, and public advertising. In addition to that, the image itself is artsy, and gives a good look for Yaya Tea. It perceives a look where you can drink a fun and tasty beverage.
