During the time I was sales and production director of Empire Graf-X, I had the honor to work on the whole image, marketing strategies and all of this great artist that left un in 2011 – RIP BNB –
Community manager, marketing manager, the strategist and more, that was the challenges that the marketing director and general manager of Maroc Culture (Organizer of Mawazine Festival) entrusted to me in 2013.
An unforgettable experience, a challenge I always love up, but unfortunately for personal reasons I had to stop pleasure.
Marketing is the process of communicating the value of a product or service to customers, for the purpose of selling that product or service.
Marketing can be looked at as an organizational function and a set of processes for creating, delivering and communicating value to customers, and customer relationship management that also benefits the organization. Marketing is the science of choosing target markets through market analysis and market segmentation, as well as understanding consumer behaviorand providing superior customer value. From a societal point of view, marketing is the link between a society's material requirements and its economic patterns of response. Marketing satisfies these needs and wants through exchange processes and building long term relationships.
Direct marketing is a channel-agnostic form of advertising that allows businesses and nonprofit organizations to communicate straight to the customer, with advertising techniques that can include cell phone text messaging, email, interactive consumer websites, online display ads, database marketing, fliers, catalog distribution, promotional letters, targeted television commercials, response-generating newspaper/magazine advertisements, and outdoor advertising. Amongst its practitioners, it is also referred to as Direct Response Advertising.
Direct marketing is practiced by businesses of all sizes—from the smallest start-up to the leaders on the Fortune 500. A well-executed direct advertising campaign can prove a positive return on investment by showing how many potential customers responded to a clear call-to-action. General advertising eschews calls-for-action in favor of messages that try to build prospects’ emotional awareness or engagement with a brand. Even well-designed general advertisements rarely can prove their impact on the organization’s bottom line. The demonstrable result of Direct Marketing is the reason for its increasing popularity.
Neuromarketing is a new field of marketing research that studies consumers' sensorimotor, cognitive, and affectiveresponse to marketing stimuli.
Companies such as Google, CBS, and Frito-Lay amongst others have used neuromarketing research services to measure consumer thoughts on their advertisements or products.
The word "neuromarketing" was coined by Ale Smidts in 2002
The neuromarketing concept was developed by psychologists at Harvard University in 1990. The technology is based on a model whereby the major thinking part of human activity (over 90%), including emotion, takes place in the subconscious area that is below the levels of controlled awareness. For this reason, the perception technologists of the market are very tempted to learn the techniques of effective manipulation of the subconscious brain activity. The main reason is to inspire the desired reaction in person’s perception as deeply as possible.
Advertising is the communication relayed from companies to persuade an audience to purchase their products. This communication is usually through various forms of paid media -- TV and radio commercials, print ads, billboards and more recently, product placement. Ads are placed where advertisers believe they will reach the largest, most relevant audience. Commercial businesses use advertising to drive the consumption of their product, while non-profit organizations may place ads to raise awareness or encourage a change in behavior or perception.
Promotion is one of the market mix elements or features, and a term used frequently in marketing. The marketing mix includes the four P's: price, product,promotion, and place. Promotion refers to raising customer awareness of a product or brand, generating sales, and creating brand loyalty. Promotion is also found in the specification of five promotional mix or promotional plan. These elements are personal selling, advertising, sales promotion, direct marketing, and publicity. A promotional mix specifies how much attention to pay to each of the five subcategories, and how much money to budget for each. A promotional plan can have a wide range of objectives, including: sales increases, new product acceptance, creation of brand equity, positioning, competitive retaliations, or creation of acorporate image. Fundamentally, there are three basic objectives of promotion. These are:
- To present information to consumers as well as others.
- To increase demand.
- To differentiate a product.
The key to writing a successful ad is knowing who your audience are and what they want. You should already know your target market before you even consider writing an advertisement. You also need to be clear on what you can offer them and what you are trying to achieve.
Even if you are planning to write the advertisement yourself, you may find it helpful to imagine how you would explain what you want to a freelance copywriter. A good copywriter or agencywill always ask you to explain who your advertisement is aimed at and what you want them to do as a result of reading it.
A database is an organized collection of data. The data are typically organized to model relevant aspects of reality in a way that supports processes requiring this information. For example, modelling the availability of rooms in hotels in a way that supports finding a hotel with vacancies.
Reputation management is the understanding or influencing of an individual's or business's reputation. It was originally coined as a public relations term, but advancement in computing, the internet and social media made it primarily an issue of search results. Some parts of reputation management are often associated with ethical grey areas, such as astroturfing review sites, censoring negative complaints or using SEO tactics to game the system and influence results. There are also ethical forms of reputation management, which are frequently used, such as responding to customer complaints, asking sites to take down incorrect information and using online feedback to influence product development.
Online advertising, also called Internet advertising, uses the Internet to deliver promotional marketing messages to consumers. It includes email marketing, search engine marketing, social media marketing, many types of display advertising (including web banner advertising), and mobile advertising. Like other advertising media, online advertising frequently involves both a publisher, who integrates advertisements into its online content, and an advertiser, who provides the advertisements to be displayed on the publisher's content. Other potential participants include advertising agencies who help generate and place the ad copy, an ad server who technologically delivers the ad and tracks statistics, and advertising affiliates who do independent promotional work for the advertiser.
Community management or common-pool resource management is the management of a common resource or issue by a community through the collective action of volunteers and stakeholders. The resource managed can be either material or informational. Examples include the management of common grazing andwater rights; fisheries and open source software. In the case of physical resources, community management strategies are frequently employed to avoid thetragedy of the commons and to encourage sustainability.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the visibility of a website or a web page in a search engine's "natural" or un-paid ("organic") search results. In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the search results page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine's users. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search, academic search,[1] news search and industry-specific vertical search engines.
Web design encompasses many different skills and disciplines in the production and maintenance of websites. The different areas of web design include web graphic design; interface design; authoring, including standardised code and proprietary software; user experience design; and search engine optimization. Often many individuals will work in teams covering different aspects of the design process, although some designers will cover them all. The term web design is normally used to describe the design process relating to the front-end (client side) design of a website including writing mark up. Web design partially overlaps web engineering in the broader scope of web development. Web designers are expected to have an awareness of usability and if their role involves creating mark up then they are also expected to be up to date with web accessibility guidelines.
An artistic director is the executive of an arts organization, particularly in a theatre company, that handles the organization's artistic direction, He or she is generally a producer and director, but not in the sense of a mogul, since the organization is generally a non-profit organization. The artistic director of a theatre company is the individual with the overarching artistic control of the theatre's production choices, directorial choices, and overall artistic vision. In smaller theatres, the artistic director may be the founder of the theatre and the primary director of its plays. In larger non-profit theatres (often known in Canada and the United States asregional theatres) the artistic director may be appointed by the board of directors.
Graphic design is the art of communication, stylizing, and problem-solving through the use of type, space and image. The field is considered a subset of visual communication and communication design, but sometimes the term "graphic design" is used interchangeably with these due to overlapping skills involved. Graphic designers use various methods to create and combine words, symbols, and images to create a visual representation of ideas and messages. A graphic designer may use a combination of typography, visual arts and page layout techniques to produce a final result. Graphic design often refers to both the process (designing) by which the communication is created and the products (designs) which are generated.
Media planning is generally the task of a media agency and entails finding media platforms for a client's brand or product to use. The job of media planning involves determining the best combination of media to achieve the marketing campaign objectives.
In the process of planning the media planner needs to answer questions such as:
- How many of the audience can be reached through the various media?
- On which media (and ad vehicles) should the ads be placed?
- How frequent should the ads be placed?
- How much money should be spent in each medium?
Choosing which media or type of advertising to use is sometimes tricky for small firms with limited budgets and know-how. Large-market television and newspapers are often too expensive for a company that services only a small area (although local newspapers can be used). Magazines, unless local, usually cover too much territory to be cost-efficient for a small firm, although some national publications offer regional or city editions. Metropolitan radio stations present the same problems as TV and metro newspapers; however, in smaller markets, the local radio station and newspaper may sufficiently cover a small firm's audience.

Read moreNEWS: a Russian YouTube video claims to show an iPhone 6 created by appropriating different parts from a factory production line.
The iPhone 6 is the latest iteration of Apple’s ubiquitous mobile phone and was due to be officially unveiled on 9 September.
But a video posted by Russia-based YouTube user Rozetked claims to show a fully assembled preview of a real iPhone 6, made by collecting different parts from a factory producing the phones.
It is significantly larger than previous iPhones, with a 4.7 inch display compared to the iPhone 5’s four inch screen.
The sides of the phone have been rounded off and the aluminium alloy body has been given a more uniform appearance – the video compares this « unibody » appearance to a Macbook. Most of the control buttons have been moved to one side.
One of the most significant changes is around the camera on the rear of the device, which is now raised rather than sitting flush. This is thought to be due to the phone’s narrower profile, which is too slim to fully accommodate the camera lens.
However, the screen is made from normal glass rather than the scratch-resistant sapphire material that Apple was expected to debut with the iPhone 6.
In the video, Rozetked also shows the inside of the device, which he says includes a slot for a Near Field Communication module that would allow the phones to be used for mobile payments and transactions.
On Sunday, technology website Recode reported that Apple had sealed a deal with credit card company American Express to work on a new iPayments system, having already reached an agreement with Visa.
It is thought that system will allow users to present their phone at shop checkouts to make a payment without needing cash or plastic cards.
Apple’s fingerprint-scanning touch control button, which was introduced with the iPhone 5s and replaced the home button, has retained its prominence at the bottom centre of the iPhone 6 and may have a role to play in the iPayments system in future.
Apple’s (NASDAQ: AAPL ) iPhone business is monstrous. At over half of Apple’s revenue and an even larger portion of its operating profit, the device can make or break the entire company. This is why the iPhone 6 will be incredibly important to Apple’s success. Fortunately, one strategic piece to the puzzle for Apple’s next lineup of smartphones may have just been placed more favorably; the larger of the two devices could be launched earlier than expected.
Rendering of rumored iPhone 6 lineup next to the iPhone 5s. Mockups by MacRumors, used with permission.
Earlier launch, limited supply?
While the Apple rumor mill seems to mostly be in consensus that the tech giant is working on 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch versions of the iPhone 6, there is less certainty about when the larger of the two iPhones will actually hit the shelves.
Mostly, however, sources predict the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 is going to be delayed until a few months after the planned fall launch for the 4.7-inch version. The rumor mill has often cited supply constraints, particularly restrictions on the phone’s new sapphire crystal display.
But Bloomberg is now reporting that Apple may launch the two phones simultaneously this fall:
Apple is ramping up on two bigger devices, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans are private. One model will have a 4.7-inch display, compared to the 4-inch screen of the current iPhone 5s, that may be available to ship to retailers around September, said two of the people. A 5.5-inch version is also being prepared for manufacturing and may be available at the same time, the people said.
MacRumors’ Husain Sumra, however, warned that the 5.5-inch version of the iPhone 6 could be in short supply when it is released.
Stock of the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 is likely to be lower than the 4.7-inch model, mostly due to the more complex manufacturing of the phone and the need for an increase in production efficiency for the device before the manufacturing volume for it can be increased.
Will the launch date make a difference for Apple investors?
For shortsighted investors, maybe. Year-over-year iPhone sales may see a slight boost via limited availability of the larger iPhone 6 a few months earlier than planned. But with so many factors influencing short-term volatility in share prices, there’s no telling what the stock will do by the time investors are aware of sales.
While rumors like these offer a helpful way for long-term investors to stay tuned to Apple’s business, there’s no reason for investors to get too caught up in launch date and supply chain rumors. But we can take solace in the fact that Apple obviously wants to do everything in its power to ramp up production to meet demand. Still, a limited supply for the first few quarters of iPhone availability isn’t abnormal for the company.
The key item for investors to watch will be the overall success of this important new lineup of iPhones. Will the larger displays and new form-factors continue to compel an influx of upgrades and swarms of new Apple users across the world?

Last year, year-over-year iPhone sales growth in the company’s fourth calendar quarter (the first full quarter of availability of its new iPhone lineup) lacked the blowout sales growth Apple investors are used to. iPhone unit sales for this important quarter only increased 6.7%. Can Apple renew double-digit year-over-year growth to the business with the iPhone 6?
The worst-case scenario for Apple investors is that they’ll have wait until it reports the first calendar quarter results for iPhone sales — if the larger version of the iPhone comes a quarter late — to really gauge the health of Apple’s most important business segment.
Meanwhile, however, we can at least rest easy in the fact that several studies and analyst predictions suggest Apple is in for substantial iPhone 6 demand.
The next big Apple device can change everything, and it’s not the iPhone 6
Imagine the multi-billion dollar sales potential behind a product that can revolutionize the way the world shops and interacts with its favorite brands every day. Now picture one small, under-the radar company at the epicenter of this revolution that makes this all possible. And its stock price has nearly an unlimited runway ahead for early, in-the-know investors. To be one of them and hop aboard this stock before it takes off, just click here.

Atelier-marketing-numeriqueDans un rapport rendu public le 3 juin dernier, la firme comptable de réputation internationale Price Waterhouse Cooper (PwC) a fait l’inventaire mondial des dépenses publicitaires dans 13 segments de marchés médiatiques et 54 pays à travers le monde.
Nommé le Global Entertainment And Media Outlook 2014-2018, ce rapport statistique indique qu’une tendance lourde se dessine en faveur de la publicité en ligne dans les différents pays visés, notamment au Canada qui est un des rares marchés où les revenus publicitaires dépassent ceux destinés à la télévision.
À l’échelle mondiale
Le portrait mondial indique d’abord que d’ici 2018, la croissance des dépenses associées aux médias et au divertissement numérique atteindra, en moyenne, 12,2% par année. La publicité Web, en forte progression, comptera pour 33% de tous les revenus publicitaires en 2018. La pénétration d’Internet, grâce à la montée en puissance du téléphone cellulaire, devrait atteindre 55% de la population des pays sondés.content-marketing
L’effritement des revenus publicitaires à la télévision se fait graduellement au profit de la publicité Web et mobile, dit-on dans l’étude. En 2009, par exemple, la télévision attirait les publicitaires deux fois plus que le Web. En 2018, l’écart sera réduit à seulement US$20bn. Du côté du Web, les analystes de PwC prévoient une augmentation annuelle des revenus publicitaires de 21,5% d’ici 2018 pour l’ensemble des pays visés.
Neuf pays, parmi les 54, voient leurs revenus destinés aux médias et aux divertissements prendre une tendante ascendante importante: Argentine, Indonésie, Afrique du Sud, Mexique, Chine, Brésil, Russie, Inde et Turquie. Grâce au développement d’un pouvoir d’achat grandissant de leur classe moyenne, ces pays devraient représenter 21,7% des revenus dans ce secteur (contre 12,4% en 2009). On prédit même que la Chine surpassera le Japon comme second marché – derrière les USA – dans ce marché média/divertissement.
Au Canada, le Web surpasse la télévision
Au pays, PwC arrive à la conclusion que les revenus publicitaires Web ont atteint, en 2013, 3,8$ milliards contre 3,6$ milliards pour la télévision. En 2018, les projections en publicité Web devraient exploser à 7,2$ milliards contre 4,1$ milliards pour la télévision.
internet_marketingConsidérés parmi les plus importants et assidus consommateurs d’Internet au monde, les Canadiens sont en effet dans un groupe restreint de pays ayant amorcé un virage de fond en faveur du Web.
Les tendances colligées par PWC semblent même être une tendance lourde et sans appel: dans les cinq prochaines années, la publicité Internet fera un bond annuel de 14% alors qu’il est à 10,5% dans le reste du monde. La télévision canadienne verra ses revenus publicitaires augmenter, en moyenne, de 2,5% par année alors que la croissance sera de 5,5% dans les 53 autres pays étudiés.
Notons enfin que le marché publicitaire de la vidéo a fait un bond de 48% en 2013 au Canada. De 89$ millions qu’ils étaient, les revenus ont été estimés à 164$ milliards pour la fin de 2018. Le sous-marché des recherches payantes sur le Web, non négligeable, a frôlé le 1,5$ milliard de tous les revenus générés en publicité Web à la fin de l’année dernière.
