  1. Mobile Marketing Growing

The use of the mobile channel for marketing, i.e. mobile marketing, is a growing worldwide phenomenon. Commercial mobile marketing initiatives began in 1997 and published research on the topic .first appeared in 2001.Since then, the field of mobile marketing has drawn the attention of academics and industry practitioners alike. Leading industry brands are committing anywhere from 10 to 25 percent of their near-term marketing budgets to digital media–including mobile.

Technology companies throughout the world are investing heavily in the creation of mobile marketing solutions, and many new and important research studies are underway. However, with all this attention there is still more to learn about the application and use of mobile marketing. There remains a gap in our understanding of what mobile marketing is and what drives consumer adoption and acceptance of mobile initiatives. There is scant qualitative and empirical evidence to formulate an authoritative definition of mobile marketing and its key enablers.

 

Keeping the above information in mind comment on the kind of commercial use of mobile marketing, and the theoretical basis and practical application of mobile marketing for any three of the following topics:

 

a). Consumer acceptance: Factors driving or inhibiting the use of mobile marketing

b). Wireless or mobile advertising, definition, effectiveness, adoption

c). Application of multimedia within mobile marketing initiatives

d). Analysis of the various delivery methods: SMS, MMS, mobile internet, IR, IM, Bluetooth,

mobile email, mobile portals

e). Analysis of future trends and impact of global, environmental, cultural, and/or political

activities on mobile marketing

 

 

  1. Write short notes on any two of the following

 

  1. a) The use of advertising, promotion, branding and integrated marketing communication by

multinationals

 

  1. b) Marketing communications as a means of creating competitive advantage and differentiation.
  2. c) Marketing opportunities and threats for multinationals and their effect on marketing

communications.

 

  1. d) Challenges to standardization or adaptation in finding an effective communication mix.

 

 

 

 

21) Develop a comprehensive and a socially relevant campaign for achieving the UN

Millennium Development Goals, listed below. You are keen to do your bit to

alleviate social inequities while elevating living standards worldwide.

 

Your report could include any two of the following: conduct a situation analyses, prioritize objectives, determine communication strategies, and propose creative executions, media plans, and promotional recommendations for a one-year campaign.

 

 

The following provides you essential information to attempt your answer.

 

“We will have time to reach the Millennium Development Goals – worldwide and in most, or even all, individual countries – but only if we break with business as usual.

We cannot win overnight. Success will require sustained action across the entire decade between now and the deadline. It takes time to train the teachers, nurses and engineers; to build the roads, schools and hospitals; to grow the small and large businesses able to create the jobs and income needed. So we must start now. And we must more than double global development assistance over the next few years. Nothing less will help to achieve
the Goals.”

 

United Nations Secretary-General
Kofi A. Annan

 

The eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) – which range from halving extreme poverty to halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and providing universal primary education, all by the target date of 2015 – form a blueprint agreed to by all the world’s countries and all the world’s leading development institutions. They have galvanized unprecedented efforts to meet the needs of the world’s poorest.
