Marketing Sports Equipment
The purpose of this assignment is for you to propose a sales promotion based on what you know about the product and the target market. For this assignment, read Case 2 that is titled “Marketing Sports Equipment” on page 364 of your textbook. After reading and studying the details of the case, respond to the following questions with thorough explanations and well-supported rationale:
Academy Sports + Outdoors offers products that would appeal to a variety of target markets. Identify a minimum of three target market groups using the following denotations: TM1: xxx, TM2: xxx, and TM3: xxx. Remember to think about demographic, behavioral, psychographic, and geographic criteria when defining each target market.
For each of the target markets identified in question #1, what two types of consumer sales promotions (discussed in Chapter 12) should Academy Sports + Outdoors offer? Explain.
Looking at each target market you proposed in question #1, what are two types of media that might be the most effective in reaching each of the target markets? Which two might not be as effective? Include your rationale.
The case states that Academy Sports + Outdoors receives a high volume of requests for sponsorship activities. Based upon the target markets you identified, what sponsors would you recommend that the company partner with?
Your response should be a minimum of two, double-spaced pages. Include a title page and references page. References should include your textbook and a minimum of one additional, credible source. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations and must be cited per APA Style guidelines.

Project #1
Do a 3-4-page rhetorical analysis of your chosen text. Again, use Chapter 10 in Compose, Design, Advocate for guidance, in particular, pages 332-45. Use clear, specific examples from your texts to support your claims. If you are using print ads, or posters, for example, find a way to cut and paste those images on to the project document. If you are referring to TV or movies, name specific characters and plots, use dialogue, and whatever else you can to support your claim that these “texts” represent a specific idea or theme. Just as an example, take a look at the 80’s MTV videos (particularly by heavy metal and “hair” bands) and how women are represented: how are they dressed, how do they act, and what does this say about what they are supposed to represent?
All documents must be double-spaced, with 12-point font, and standard margins (MLA formatting). See Resources tab for example.

This
is an individual assessment and any work that strongly resembles another
student’s work (either from this semester or previous semesters) will receive a
zero grade in the relevant criteria.
Consumer Research Document
The purpose of Assessment 1 is to demonstrate
your ability to thoroughly investigate the target audience that relates to the
brief. The challenge here is to decide
what information is important and relevant.
This project requires an extensive
amount of work. Each week during the
lecture and in the tutorials, specific sections of this report will be
addressed and explained; therefore, it is vital that students attend lectures
as well as tutorials.
The information that you present in
this assessment must be supported by credible sources (e.g., Roy Morgan data,
Australian Bureau of Statistics data, academic journals, and industry
publications). You will be evaluated on
your ability to research information, to analyse the information and present it
in an easily understandable manner.
Your information is to be presented in
PowerPoint format. You have a maximum of 25 slides provide your research
information (approximately 2,000 words) and it is expected that you will used
graphs and charts to demonstrate large amounts of information.
Your consumer research document
consists of the following.
1.Target Audience analysis (15 marks)
Using information from Roy Morgan
data, ABS, and other credible sources you are to provide a demographic and
psychographic profile of the consumers that you are aiming to reach.
This is your chance to show that you
understand the target audience. Make
sure that you provide an overview of that shows what is important to them? Where do they live? What are their media habits and how will this
influence your media strategy? You will
identify your target audience using psychographic and demographic profiles and
use tools such as Autobiography, A day in the Life and Pictography to
illustrate your target audience. You are to consider the customer path to
purchase and barriers to purchase and how this will impact your media
approach. You will provide details of
this target audience’s media imperatives and explain their media usage. The
ability to analyse the data is important here.
Make sure that you consider the implications of the information rather
than providing information for the sake of it. (Max 15 slides)
2. Product and Market Analysis (5 marks)
In this section you are to provide
relevant research that provides information about the product. You are to
provide a description of the product and the product category and identify key
issues which may influence your media selection and plan. Using Roy Morgan data and other resources you
provide analysis of the product. You are to provide a brief SWOT analysis and
the possible influence of PEST (Political, economic, social and technology).
This information must be based on your research and you must be able to cite where
your findings come from. You are to
indicate the relevant points that may have an influence on your media selection
and plan. (Max 5 slides)
3. Observations and Insights (15 marks)
From the market analysis, product
analysis and target audience analysis you are to provide observations that form
a creative and overarching key insight. You are to consider how this insight
might be used as part of an advertising approach. Does this insight impact your media approach
or your creative options?
This insight is to form the starting
point for your media strategy which will be presented in Week 13. The insight
should be creative and be based on your findings and observation. Make sure you justify why this insight is
relevant to this target audience. Developing creative and relevant insights is
often the area that students find most challenging, so we run a workshop on how
to develop creative insights. (Max 2 slides)
4. Inclusion of evidence (10 marks)
This section is graded on how well you
justify and support your findings across the assessment. Make sure that you don’t just provide
information for no reason. Make sure
that the information that you provide is from credible sources (both academic
and industry sources) and that you reference the source. When grading this section, we are looking at
the variety of sources and the credibility of sources.
5. Presentation (5 marks)
Throughout the document you are
expected to provide data to support your findings and correctly use APA
referencing. You are expected to utilise
graphs and charts to illustrate some of your findings, but they must be
relevant to your insights. Your
PowerPoint deck should contain an introduction, conclusion and reference list.

ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION:
As a global pandemic ravaged the world in 2020, the United States was further confronted
with divisive political and social issues- Black Lives Matter, defunding the police, gender
equality, and LGBTQ+ rights, to name a few. For many years now, companies like Starbucks,
Nike, and Dove have shown support for social issues through product transformations and
renewing public relations efforts, usually through controversial marketing attempts.
However, the increasing demand for corporate responses to heightened social issues has
forced many previously silent companies to finally speak out across their various digital
communication channels. For this assignment, students will explore the success or failures
of a 2020/2021 advertising campaign to better understand how companies can contribute
to transforming social issues, and still cultivate and maintain valuable -and profitable-
consumer relationships.
You will select a current advertising campaign that has been in the marketplace for an
amount of time appropriate for evaluation and analysis. Provide a critical assessment of
the campaign’s success/failure. Each student will write an 8-10 page paper (exclusive of
cover and references) and evaluate the campaign including course material.
DOCUMENT SPECIFICATIONS:
8-10 pages (exclusive of cover and References pages)
o Minimum of 8 sources. A mix of scholarly and marketplace sources is
REQUIRED. Utilize databases, books, and resources available in/through the
library. Since scholarly sources are more credible, they should receive more
attention than marketplace texts. Academic Integrity policies will be strictly
enforced.
o Required: Cover sheet with your name, double-spaced, 12-point font, 1-inch
margins.
o Minimum of 2-3 images: include appropriate examples, screen shots, and
images to highlight and explain the specific points of your analysis.
Select a current advertising campaign that addresses a social, political, health
and/or economic issue, and provide a critical assessment of its success/failure.
o Research the company, brand, product, and specific campaign thoroughly.
Use marketplace and scholarly sources (both are REQUIRED). Provide a
general overview/understanding of the company, brand, and product that
led to the execution of your selected campaign.
o Position the company in the context of the marketplace. For example, Avis
strategically positioned itself using the “We Try Harder” tagline as the #2
most successful/recognized car rental company. Why? How was that
effective? What other competitors and market factors influence(d) this
positioning?
o Briefly identify and explain the advertising opportunity/issue/problem that
yielded the campaign and its message. What is the desired target audience?
Is this an integrated campaign? Evaluate the IMC components.
o Analyze the effectiveness of the campaign efforts and draw connections using
5-7 theories, models, and/or overarching key concepts from our class
2
lessons and readings. Bold and cite these specific connections. Develop your
analysis fully.
Provide a separate appendix at the end of the paper that identifies
each theory, model, key concept in the form of a glossary.
o Explain the campaign’s general success/failure based on your analysis.
Use headings and sub-headings to clearly organize your paper.
Include a properly formatted APA Reference page
No spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors. Professionalism, clarity, and accuracy
are required.
