...headquartered in Santa Clara, California, United States and the world's largest and highest valued semiconductor chip maker, based on revenue. It is the inventor of the x86 series of microprocessors, the processors found in most personal computers. Intel Corporation, founded on July 18, 1968, is a portmanteau of IntegratedElectronics (the fact that "intel" is the term for intelligence information was also quite suitable). Intel also makes motherboard chipsets, network interface controllers andintegrated circuits, flash memory, graphic chips, embedded processors and other devices related to communications and computing. Founded by semiconductor pioneers Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore and widely associated with the executive leadership and vision of Andrew Grove, Intel combines advanced chip design capability with a leading-edge manufacturing capability. Though Intel was originally known primarily to engineers and technologists, its "Intel Inside" advertising campaign of the 1990s made it and its Pentiumprocessor household names. Intel was an early developer of SRAM and DRAM memory chips, and this represented the majority of its business until 1981. Although Intel created the world's first commercial microprocessor chip in 1971, it was not until the success of the personal computer (PC) that this became its primary business. During the 1990s, Intel invested heavily in new microprocessor designs fostering the rapid growth of the computer industry. During this period Intel became the dominant supplier...

...promoted the brand label “Darkie” toothpaste in the foreign markets. Despite the fact that the “Darkie” logo had been well received in the Asian market, the campaign was widely criticized in the United States. For that reason, Colgate was forced to develop a strategy to repair the damage it suffered for that logo. After many fights with Hawley and Hazel, Colgate proposed to change the brand name to Darlie, Darbie, Hawley, and Dakkie, and that the new logo included a dark, non-descript silhouette and a well-dresses black man. 2. What do you think Colgate should have done to handle the situation? Answer: Taking into consideration the fact that Colgate has done business overseas before, they should have been more aware of these issues and its marketing campaign from the beginning. And, I also think Colgate should have taken actions quicker to make changes to the logo and the marketing campaign. 3. Is it possible for Colgate and Hawley and Hazel to change the toothpaste’s advertising without sacrificing consumer brand loyalty? Is that a possible reason for Colgate’s not responding quickly to domestic complaints? Answer: I don’t think it’s possible for Colgate and Hawley and Hazel to change the toothpaste’s advertising without sacrificing consumer brand loyalty, however; a more proactive approach should have been pursued by management. Advertising, sales promotion, personal selling, and public relations could have been...

...Brand Name and Corporate Image Valarie Murphy-Taylor OMM 615 Janis McFaul July 21, 2014 Abstract The aim of this paper is to describe the difference between brand name and corporate image. As companies seek to gain a competitive edge through means of organizational restructuring and/or innovation, building brand name recognition and corporate image has become increasingly significant. Consumers identify with brand names and advertisements, which promote products that make favorable impressions. Corporate image is an abstract concept that has a definite effect on marketing performance since consumers prefer to purchase from companies with reputable corporate images. Brand naming is a concrete concept in that a brand name is something one can see, touch, fee or smell. By seeing and/or hearing and advertisement one can become familiar with a brand name which in turn can build a brand’s recognition. Corporate imagery is a highly involved mental process that marketers pursue in order to challenge the perceptions of internal and external stakeholders. Corporate advertising is big business with expenditures of more than nine billion dollars. The knowledge of that may affect how consumers feel about brands from a particular corporation or so one would think. The two concepts overlap one another. Corporate imaging and brand naming can be...

...The desired outcome for a writer in any argument is to change the way one thinks or acts, to persuade the audience to his/her point of view. There is more to convincing an audience than presenting a claim and providing evidence. Imperative to any argument is the three elements of classic principles of argument: ethos, pathos, and logos. Authors will use ethos; a way to gain respect from character and his/her knowledge.

Then lastly is logos (logic), means to persuade by the use of reasoning including deductive and inductive reasoning. Evidence and persuasive reason (explanation) to back up your claims.

For me, a handbag is one such design article that is the best example of form and functionality. A well-designed handbag can transform a look completely. It can either enhance or ruin personal style. All these years I have used various kinds of bags - totes, clutches, satchels, backpacks, sling bags but all the bags thus far have lacked one important feature. It has never been a complete package. Sometimes, the form of a handbag is well designed, but it lacks core functionality. I have never been able to settle for an all-purpose handbag. The most important drawback for me in a handbag however is its weight. I am a hoarder and I carry almost everything from my keys, cellphone, sunglasses, makeup to old receipts and bills. My handbag is my world. However, I have had to experience and undergo a lot of pain because of heavy handbags. I intend to come up with a design solution that can ease the problem of weight of handbags for women. Materials like Qmonos (genetically modified microbes to make an artificial spider silk thread), Softy (developed by Gherardini is light soft and silky), Neoprene and kangaroo leather are few options that I have been able to find through my research which are extremely light in weight. I also believe that hardware in...

At the time, this product attracted many people, especially women thanks to the promise that Dove and David Ogilvy made to the customers: “Dove Won’t Dry Your Skin Like Soap Can”.
