Apprentice Season 2

    1. Apprentice Season 2
      1. My favorite episode of season two is episode one.
      2. Write about the Episode and include the following details:
        1. Task description: design a new and marketable toy for Mattel.
        2. The leader of Mosaic was Pamela, while the leader of Apex was bradford
        3. Apex won the competition with their remote control car, fitted with interchangeable parts. Their reward was a fancy dinner with Trump himself, as wel las his wife, Melania.
        4. Rob, Pamela, and Andy were all taken into the boardroom
        5. Trump ultimately decided to fire Rob, because he was underutilized, and did nothing to get involved in the task.
        6. I liked this episode because they change it up by having a male lead an all female team, and a female lead an all male team.
        7. "You were underutilized!"- Trump. The lesson from this episode is that you should always stay involved in the task at hand, whether you want to or not. If you don't, then you will separate yourself from the team and become a target.

Oil prices jump on new output deal

Brent crude increased their prices to $57.89 a barrel, which is the highest prices have been since 2015. Several countries agreed to cut their output by 558,000 barrels a day in a deal designed to reduce oversupply and boost prices. This is important to the marketing world because prices of oil effects everyone and many products.

Marketing-Real

Food Club: this club would be a re-installment of cooking class, combined with an opportunity to experiment and taste unusual food. In order to establish this club, we would need to contact the head of the school, in order to discuss the potential dangers of having ovens in the school, as well as designating a room for the club, set with all of the supplies needed. We would also need to find a teacher with an extensive background in cooking, who would be willing to supervise the club in its endeavors. Once we have the Club established, we would need to promote it by hanging up flyers, putting ads on the portal, and make a web page for it.

Wood Shop: Wood shop class was very popular back in the good old days, but due to an increase of ridiculous safety standards and overly concerned parents, this class has been taken away from Americans. As a result,  we now have millennials who don't know how to do anything. Our goal with Wood Shop is to reverse this effect and get student doing hands on work once again. We will accomplish this task by arranging a meeting with the principle in order to negotiate the creation of this new class. Once we do that, we will need to channel a small portion of school funds to buy electrical saws, sanders, etc. as well as wood and safety materials. We will then need to find a teacher to supervise, and promote the class through morning announcements, the portal, and flyers.

Computers became a desktop technology, as well as other electronics such as calculators and printers.Gen Xers were less reliant on their parents than past and future generations, and thus have increased self reliance. This group of people are ethnically diverse, independant, and highly efficient, and expect highly efficient products.

NFL Color Rush

NFL Color Rush

      The NFL has recently released "Color Rush" uniforms for its many football teams with aid from Nike. The purpose of releasing these new and vibrant Uniforms is to attract the NFL's casual fans, along with getting fans excited for the new season. Another benefit the NFL and Nike gains from this is that fans will now start to buy the new jerseys associated with the new uniforms, allotting a huge profit.
      My personal reaction to these new Uniforms is general excitement, because I myself, am a casual football fan.I have not purchased an NFL jersey before, but that may change this season. I believe that the new uniforms will also add the the "rivalry: aspect of football ,which the NFL strives off of. What I mean by this is that the new uniforms will cause fans to convince themselves that their new uniforms are the best. I have sorted my top 5 favorite Color rush uniforms, being as unbiased as possible: 

5. Chargers
4. Cardinals
3. Patriots
2. Steelers
1. Saints
