Mobilize: Our project will have means of mobilization in many ways. We need to take action in being a completely unified group so we can have all the parts of our project ready for due date. During the course of our project we will run into walls and road blocks. But the project will still need to persevere through all of that. Through readiness and being overly prepared I feel that our group will greatly be mobil and ready. When it comes to SoftServe companies, “Mobilization is a vital step for companies in industries with predominate mobile workforces such as healthcare, insurance and education.” This tells us how mobilization of our groups will help us strategy that defines a short, mid and long term goal.
Aggregate: “a material or structure formed from a loosely compacted mass of fragments or particles.”
For our project, we are using aggregation as a way of presenting out project ‘The UMaine Motivators.”
We are combining different medias and strategies to complete our project. We are using social media to help spread the word of UMOtivators. We are using a DIY chalkboard to gather good vibes from the campus and to help make the campus see what we are about.
In our readings about the 4 different new media strategies, i found that we are using a many to many principle. We are letting people decide what they want to say to others, and not really preaching to people about what kind of thing we are representing.
Using different materials to help with a project will give us all a better range on the type of things that we are doing. Combinations of different ways of presentation and gathering information is helping us build a stronger and more successful structure. I think that overall, this project will be awesome and we will get a lot of feedback from different sources with each material and structure that we formed!
Advertisement and Social Media effects:
Direct exposure to repeated ads initially increases a consumer’s preference for promoted products. 80% of teen internet users use Social Media sites.
Writing used to be a solitary thing, it has become a very social way of communication. Social Media often breaks into personal barriers and everyone ends up reading things that go on in daily life.
Changing communication, expanding circles, exploring new horizons through online connections is what social media has done to our future. Life is becoming more superficial or more virtual rather than just living life. Social Media is intensely woven into everyday life and in everyday relationships.
Social Media and Advertisement is also a way of impacting people with business platforms. It grabs interest of consumers to buy a product.
For our project we need to get our advertisements out there to promote our project to the campus. repeated exposure can help create an interest for people to check out what we are doing or what UMaine Motivators is all about. If we add in social media, we will have an even bigger idea of what to work with since about 80% of teens are using social media including everyone in our project group. When I walk past almost anyone around campus they are always using smart phones as communications and to check Social Media. The more that smart devices are poping up, the more social media grows.
Thus, in return if we start premoteing our project through advertisement and social media, we will get a better groups source to give us feedback and check out the work we’ve created.
