  • 2015 Fall Press Report
    ROBERT HERJAVEC 2015 Fall Press Report OUTLET: THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER ISSUE: DECEMBER 4, 2015 CIRCULATION: 73,875 IMPRESSIONS: 221,625 OUTLET: RUNNERS WORLD ISSUE: NOVEMBER 6, 2015 IMPRESSIONS: 2,625,589 I got fired when I was younger, started an internet security business, and that was that. Some people have a vision to start a business. Others adapt because they’re forced to. I was the latter. I was a casual runner my whole life, but I got serious eight years ago when my mom became ill with cancer. My company was growing, my kids were littler, the days felt overwhelming. The only thing that made me forget about everything was running, so I started doing it every day. Most people think business is the fun, sexy stuff we see on TV, but success comes from the 22 things you have to do every day that nobody notices. That’s just like running. There are a lot of fans at the finish line of a marathon, but not as many between miles three and 26. My proudest running moment was my first marathon in Miami in 2009. I trained only for a few months, but I was really proud that I even finished (in 4:40). I run five miles daily, plus a long run of eight to 10 miles on Sunday. It’s hard to find the time but if I don’t, I’m more tired, I need to eat more – it affects me physically and mentally. I appeared on Dancing With the Stars this year and made it to week eight of 10 with no dance experience.

  • US Army Recruitment Advertising and Enlistment Motivation During The
    SCANDINAVIAN JOURNAL OF Fransen, M. (2019). Selling Military Service During Wartime: U.S. Army Recruitment MILITARY STUDIES Advertising and Enlistment Motivation During the War Against Terror. Scandinavian Journal of Military Studies, 2(1), pp. 178–192. DOI: https://doi.org/10.31374/sjms.12 RESEARCH ARTICLE Selling Military Service During Wartime: U.S. Army Recruitment Advertising and Enlistment Motivation During the War Against Terror Martin Fransen Independent scholar, DK [email protected] This article examines the coherence between the themes expressed in the U.S. Army’s recruit- ment advertisements and the enlistment motivation among American soldiers enlisting in the Army in the years 2001–2010, when the country was involved in two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, respectively. Based on exploration of the prevalent research, the article begins by assess- ing the history of military recruitment and enlistment motivation in the United States after the introduction of the draft in 1917 and after the introduction of the All-Volunteer Force (AVF) in 1973. In this section, the article discusses the role of the Army’s recruitment advertising. Based on an analysis of selected interviews with Army veterans, the second part of the article aims to clarify the different motivations for enlisting in the U.S. Army between 2001 and 2010 and to compare these motivations with the contents of the Army’s recruitment advertisements at the time. The article argues that among the different reasons for enlisting, the feeling of duty to country remained a strong motivator throughout this period. Furthermore, the article argues that there was never complete consistency between the contents of the recruitment advertisements and the soldiers’ enlistment motivation.

  • Steve Smith's Eye on Innovation: Apple’S Wearable Is a Publisher Proving Ground, Not Yet a Platform
    May 25, 2015 Media Industry Newsletter Vol. 68 No. 21 New York, N.Y. www.minonline.com Steve Smith's Eye on Innovation: Apple’S WEARABLE IS A PUBLISHER PROVING GROUND, NOT YET A PLATFORM. Truth told, after a week of wearing and tending to it conscientiously, the Apple Watch is an underwhelming experience. As a piece of hardware it sits comfortably within Apple’s infamous “Reality Distortion Field,” but it’s much less a work of coveted jewelry than the company wants us to believe. It’s bulbous, and anything but sleek. It's a black block glass that protrudes from the wrist and resembles the original iPhone. Anyone thinking this is less geeky than previous smart watches should stop drinking the Kool Aid immediately. In all respects, the device has first-generation written all over it. As a content delivery mechanism, the experience is unimpressive so far. (continued on page 4) "EW'S" MATTIACE-TO-DUQUE PUBLISHER CHANGE LOOKS SEAMLESS. Outwardly, this went smoothly, with Melissa Mattiace calling her two years at the En- tertainment Weekly helm "an honor." She was thanked by People publisher Karen Kovacs– her boss since the March addition of EW group publisher–for her "passion and dedica- tion" in producing "record-breaking digital growth across all platforms." Still, the May 19 news was not a surprise, because Mattiace was rumored to be on the hot seat for the past year, and conditions intensified with the Kovacs promotion coming in tandem with Rich Battista's hire as People and EW president. By promoting People and EW West Coast sales director Ellie Duque and keeping her based in Los Angeles, Battista and Kovacs have an on-site executive who could be an asset in building the all-important entertainment category as the movies and TV fall previews near and, to a lesser extent, technology and automotive.
