“You ‘Kin Do It!” campaign analysis

Example of You Kin Do It! Advertising

This huge campaign was created by Boston-based Hill Holiday.
First shot that I’ve watched this motivational campaign presenting the strong message to influence the audiences feel good to do anything. This campaign also shows DD’s spirit and understanding what the audiences need to adapt in their real life especially to begin the day. Moreover, this campaign also shoots some shot in the last to make the customer feels free to pay a little budget continually making their work be finished. Only not too much money can effect to their works be successful.
Importantly, I think, this ad is balancing both attitude and also outcome to build the customer feel fair when consuming DD product. On the other hand, the campaign has been cheering on everyday that people who run on their works. In the marketing, this ad attract the customer who is working hard then DD proudly serve our menu with the cheap price, moreover, easily to get it because it is around you.

DD Reflections

"A time to reflect all of components which make me be beneficial to finish this unforgettable project."

 First of all, I’d like to indicate about how to do my blog because a numerous problems which I have faced effect me when continually do it. According to my abilities, I rather have no any good creation and ability in Photoshop program, however, I have tired to do my best and also consult with Weereeya because of her creative capabilities. She helps me to create my blog as well as teach some methods in using Photoshop program. This is the good time that I want to say THANK YOU VERY MOUCH to Weereeya (a brand manger of Apple)

Secondly, I proudly give my opinion with my brand. For DD brand, I’m very happy to study about its information. Although I sometimes find the data very hard as the data that I’ve found was not my wants. I usually analyzed its information in my own words then. Now, I have the new knowledge about DD brand that I’ve never known before, furthermore, it helps me to have ideas in business also.

Thirdly, this is the last that I extremely want to reflect to her (Boss Gob), she is my teacher who is the businessman because she always asks students’ opinion to do any activities.

Week 6 " The LAST JOURNAL with The BEST MEMORY "

Hard Working Never Kill Us
(Boss Gob)


Beginning this class with the questioning activity, in my humble opinion, this activity was too hard because I had to change the words in my thought to be polite. Nowadays, numerous situations cause the speaker has to control feelings by using the polite words to continually negotiate. That’s why, many businessmen could manage their companies be successful although there’re various troubles. From this useful activity has influenced me should be careful when the time to speak especially negotiation. By the way, Aj.G told the guideline for the midterm exam, there will be only four items but all of them are the comprehension test, not the remembered test. I was afraid of the examination as I have to prepare myself to understand about the business. In addition, the product strategy of Dunkin’ Donuts will be in the test also.

The very fun activities, today, we had the special shows in the classroom. My classmates and also me were very excited with these shows especially me because I was afraid and worry with my show. However, I did my best and also my members. Today, I was very very happy with our shows also our classmates’ shows.

JOURNAL 4TH --->> Product Strategy's already served <<----

If you nail positioning and targeting, the rest falls into place.
On Tuesday, I have been begun with the product strategy. This is a part of 4’ p and important also. The product and the service is related to this strategy, moreover, both are very important in the marketing. I thought, this strategy is very intensive, especially the steps to do it well; creating, communication, and deliver value. All of these steps are linked to each other. While teaching, I had taught alone as today class was rather serious at the first time.  After the teacher had already finished teaching, she continually asked any questions according to the product strategy.  Her question make me supposed myself as a brand, in my own opinion, I’m a gracious brand because I like to do the housework, I like sweet-smelling things etc.
By way of, on Thursday class, today we had to make the interviewing role play. The night before this day, my friends and I who were the interviewers prepared the steps that we planned to show in the class concentratedly. When the time to show, we had forgotten some steps, however, we had passed successfully. From every presentation, some shows make me very joke. I thought, I liked to do it and it also made me practice in English.

What did I learn from VictoriasSecretCom?

“From the distribution standpoint, it’s the same model” (Weil)

Just CLICK ON your screen!!

Assume me as Victoria’s Secret’s consumer, I extremely impress with this brand’s promotions. They continually worked hard since many years ago until now, establishing any strategy to attract their consumers and also being different thinking from any competitors. Simply, everyone likes to shop any cheap products especially when any brand reduces the price, and like the convenience as well. If you want to shop the cheap product and also be comfortable getting it, Victoria’s Secret is very suitable, because there’re loads of reduced products, moreover, having various product lines to serve you.  
Just you click it, you can shop without any vicissitudes such taking a car, the bad weather and so on. On the other hand, I like Victoria’s secret’s template; design, colors, fonts etc. Importantly, many product lines in one brand strongly pull the consumer in.


WK 3 with my doughnuts

"What are you up to?"

From the new interesting question above, its meaning somewhat influence me in learning life and in the business also. I could remember its meaning well from the teacher, furthermore, I knew her purpose when she told its meaning. When the time to the trading class, I always concentrated to listen to her thoroughly, and also think of her words “What is her true purpose?” Surely, it is able to inspire me doing anything be advantageous and it also be adapted by others easily. If I compare this question with the business, I felt like, one company always observe the competitors all the time and try to do something after this observation to develop their product be better than other one.
By way of this week, almost agenda was about the finalized project. The lecturer explained the whole details of this project. She explicitly clarified and also gave the illustration to the students be clear. On the other hand, I thought this project isn’t hard to do it, but it hard to make the consumer (the teacher or any other) be clear and interested in it. However, this defied job depends on me (The brand manager).
