On top of that the company survived the strenuous twenty years of the nations prohibition.

...Creative Strategy The objective of Jack Daniel’s creative strategy here is to appeal to and create profits from our target market. We want to establish a symbolic link between the iconic Jack bottle and the female lifestyle in our targeted age market. To our female market, we want to create a tone of luxury, the party-lifestyle, and sensuality. To appeal to females, we assume these to be things that would increase their likelihood of purchase. Our big idea is the “Jack and Jill” campaign where we hope to complement the masculine Jack with the female Jill. Our main character in this campaign is the beautiful Jill who mainly appears alongside images of the drink to create visual association. The central persona that the woman will take is one who can party but retain her composure; this would be best displayed in television or radio advertisements. Media Strategy We will advertise on TV, in magazines, outdoor, and online. We will advertise in mediums that either primarily target women or target a near-equal percent of women and men. TV spots will have a pulsed media schedule relative to the expected seasonal increases in sales due to expensive costs. These seasonal increases include wintertime, Nascar season, and Christmas. Below the Line Promotions A. Promotions Continuing to utilize the relationship with the NASCAR community, tickets from each racing event can also be used as a coupon in any store for two dollars off any type of Jack Daniels whiskey.

...Jack Daniel’s International Strategy: By sticking to Its Homespun, Down-Home Story, the Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey Has Increased Sales at Home and Abroad In the United States Jack Daniel sales showed no growth in the 80s and 90s; the only growth was for premium and superpremium whisky (Pearce and Robinson 2009). The company realized that generation X & Y did not have the same taste as the baby boomers; therefore, they need to change their strategies. Jack Daniel came up with a strategy to target younger crowds who surprisingly preferred the premium taste of Jack Daniel in overseas markets. In order to implement their strategies Jack Daniel had to conduct an internal and external assessment of the company. Although the company had already been selling whisky globally, their assessment would be in how to reach a younger audience before entering the niche market. Jack Daniel needed to assess their internal factors such as advertising and marketing strategies for targeting youth in other countries. For example, sponsoring concert events and placing ads that would attract the Chinese or London’s youth. External factors that Jack Daniel needed to assess were where they were planning on placing these marketing ads and how will their whiskey reach youth in other countries. Jack Daniel has a super strong brand story that has proven to overcome any overseas backlash. The whisky story comes from small town USA; giving them visual advantage of how Whisky should be made. Marketing...

...there was a little jack rabbit that had tiny, tiny ears and little legs. His main problem was that he could hear or get around very easily. His home was under this big oak tree in the forest, it was very cool and it kept the rain from getting him all wet. Mr. Jack was very friendly; everyone in the forest was his friends even his common enemy; like the coyote. But out of all his friends there was this one that Mr. Jack would always turn to for help or questions that he wanted answers to. This friend live in the upper part of the tree, he was an owl named Hoot. So one night he just got back and he saw Hoot in the tree and he looked at him and said “ Hoot, why is it so hard for me to get around and so hard for me to hear I don’t get it; I know you can hear really well, and you get around great because you have wings”. Hoot was thinking and said “I don’t know how that works but that’s the way life goes, now get some sleep.” “Ok I will good night Hoot.” Later that night Jack was having dreams about actually having long legs and ears, he was so happy and excited that in the morning he woke up and had to tell Hoot. He was very happy for Jack, then it hit him what if I try to tug on Jacks ears and legs. Hoot thought it over very carefully and was thinking maybe that will really work. At least Jack would be happy if that really did happen because he never stops talking about his ears and legs getting longer. The next day he was tell Jack about his great plan, Jack got excited and said...

...The strongest always prevail over the weak; one example is World War 1. The stronger armies prevailed, while the weaker ones were destroyed. Golding in his novel, Lord of the Flies, argues that the strongest prevail over the weak. A couple of instances where this is demonstrated are when Jack makes his own group and everyone joins him because he’s stronger, nobody disobeys the stronger people because they are scared they will get hurt, and lastly Jacks group has stronger people so they take over Ralphs group. Firstly, one of the many scenes demonstrating that the stronger prevail over the weak is when Jack creates his own group. For example “Long before Ralph and Piggy came up with Jack’s lot” (164). This proves Golding’s argument that the stronger do in fact prevail over the weak considering everyone joined his group because he was physically stronger then Ralph. Secondly, another example that relates to Golding’s argument is when Samneric are too scared to leave Jack’s group because they are afraid that they will get hurt or killed. For example, Ralph said “Wont you come with me? Three of us- we’d stand a chance” and Samneric replied “‘You don’t know Roger. He’s a terror.’ ‘-and the Chief-they’re both-‘ ‘-terrors” (210). This once again proves Golding’s argument because Samneric were indeed too afraid to disobey the stronger leaders. Finally, the last instance where Golding shows that the stronger prevail over the weak is that Jack’s group had more people, and eventually...

...Through the usage of bitter diction, metaphor, and tender diction, King illustrates a gender dynamic granting men control in which Jack struggles to conform and Wendy is successful in following. By using resentful language, King indicates that as Jack deals with control, he tries but fails to obtain control. While speaking to Al on the phone, Jack thinks, but does not voice, “First Ullman, then Wendy, now Al. What was this? National Let’s Pick Jack Torrance Apart Week?” (275). Feeling hostile, Jack bitterly thinks to himself that everyone around him is “picking him apart,” a resentful way to mean criticizing him. As a stereotypical male, Jack is supposed to be regarded with authority, not belittled like he currently is. His inner resentment...

...Other Archetypes We focus on the trickster or deceiver because her archetype ties directly to the ultimate quest of Mr. Incredible and his family. The deceit that Mirage commits is by enticing Bob, or Mr. Incredible, with a false quest of destroying a military weapon that has gone rogue. Her trickery is appealing to Mr. Incredible because it satisfies two of his main concerns. It satisfies his ability to care for his family financially and it also satisfies his desire to utilize his superhero abilities for what he believes is for the common good. The trickery or deceit archetype in this myth shows importance because it allows the viewers to see the vulnerability of the hero and later with success, shows how the hero is able to overcome the circumstance. Another female archetype in the myth is that of the mother or queen. Helen or Elastigirl, as she is known in the hero world is the matriarch or glue of The Incredible family. She understands that it is imperative for the family to continue to lead a discreet lifestyle when it relates to their superhero abilities. She does so by being the voice of reason to her husband and children even when they do not quite understand of the reasons behind their secrecy. Finally, we look at the companion or ally as many of us may refer to them as. Lucious, also known as Frozone, is Mr. Incredible’s right hand man. His character stands by Mr. Incredible, regardless of his agreement or disagreement with Mr. Incredible. From being...

...Abstract This paper explores the communication benefits of building a “brand narrative’ and it will also talk about the best way to improve dialogue with the target audience of Stella Artois. I will also be writing about appreciating how marketing communications can help create meaning for consumers. At the end of the article, I will be talking about Jack Daniels and how its traditions and brewers’ art has been continued for over 100 years now. tella Artois: Reassuringly expensive wife beater The communication benefits of building a ‘brand narrative’ in the way Stella Artois has is now more consumers are involved and the brand’s “story “ is reinforced in all brand encounters. Building a brand narrative can evoke positive perceptions, differentiate and gain competitive advantage, enable faster introduction of new products, reinforce brand awareness and improve overall company and brand image and enhance trust. (Smith 2010, p. 6) Consumers feel that these products need to be part of their lives and that they need to have it. All advertising provokes some sort of story through the use of framing, characterization, cultural codes and the evocation of cultural expectations and stereotypes. (Smith 2010, p. 13) It is more important than ever for companies to be concerned on how to grab their customer’s attention and build a brand narrative through that attention. The brand is more meaningful when the consumers feel closer to the story of the brand. I do think that...

...I. Current News On February 1, 2010 Brown-Forman stated it is planning to establish its own distribution company in Germany starting in the third or fourth quarter of 2010. Germany plays a role in international sales and having a fully-owned sales and marketing operation will greatly help Brown-Forman’s sales. Brown-Forman should gain a competitive advantage in Germany because they will no longer need a distributer. By being able to sell and market its own products Brown-Forman should have increased international sales in Germany. (Brown-Forman News, 2010) On January 15, 2010 Brown-Forman announced its plan on giving up to $100,000 to American Red Cross to assist in the relief efforts. Brown-Forman also said it will match employee donations up to $20,000 for American Red Cross, which means the company and its employees will contribute as much as $140,000 to the Haitian Relief efforts. This kind of charity is good public relations for the company. It shows Brown-Forman is more than just a company that cares only about their net income and sales. Because there are many companies in the same industry who haven’t done anything for Haiti, people could be more likely to buy Brown-Forman’s line of products knowing that the company donated money. (Brown-Forman, 2010) In 2009, The Brown-Forman Corporation achieved the highest year to year score increase among all companies rated by the Human Rights Campaign. The Human Rights Campaign is America’s largest civil rights...

...Brown-Forman Wandan Su Oct.28th 2012 Managerial Accounting * Company Overview * Company History In the year of 1870, a great company was founded in Louisville, Kentucky. It was formed by George Garvin Brown, a young pharmaceuticals salesman. He saw the demand for a consistently high quality whisky that conform medicinal standards. Brown and his half-brother used an innovative approach to sold whisky with sealed glass bottles to guarantee their quality while whisky was sold in the barrel in common at that time. The brand called Old Forester Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky, was the first bottle bourbon in America, which remains one of Brown-Forman's best selling brands during the current days. The name of the company changed so many times as the business grew and the original partnership dissolved. Later partnership become between George Garvin Brown and his friend also his accountant, so the company was formed was call Brown-Forman. Old Forester sold very well --but In 1902 Forman sold his interest in the Brown-Forman Distillery because he believed that Brown-Forman's success would diminish as soon as the novelty of packaging began to fade. The Brown family bought all of Forman's interest in the company. In1917，George Garvin Brown died and his oldest son，Owsley, took over the Brown-Forman. It was a difficult time because of the depression and prohibitions during the two World Wars. In 1924, the company moved to the 18th & Howard Street, where the company...
