  • Final Marketing Plan
    Dad’s Garage Theatre Company Marketing Plan and Campaign Daryl Allen, Tasha Tavaras, Yihong Yang, Si Peng May 28, 2015 AADM 745 – Promoting the Arts 1 May 28, 2015 Lara Smith, Managing Director Dad’s Garage Theatre Company P.O. Box 5867 Atlanta, Georgia 31107 Ms. Smith: Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to review your organization’s current marketing techniques and suggesting new ways to boost your current results. Overall, we found that Dad’s Garage has great potential to expand its marketing of its current products but also has many areas that need improvement. There needs to be major changes to the organization’s website, such as creating a mobile friendly version, updating product and organizational information, and adding interactive components to enhance user experience; customer service, such as responding and resolving customer grievances, enhancing open communication methods so that guests can contact staff when there’s an issue and/or question; and establishing the most effective plans for the target market, such as monitoring the way Millennials use the internet, joining social media platforms that Millennials use more often, and providing the right content that will entice the intended market to utilize the products offered by the organization. This marketing evaluation and plan analyzes the current state of the organization with its current resources and explores in detail the main areas of improvement and presents innovative ideas to boost marketing results and the overall attendance and utilization of Dad’s Garage products and programs. Thank you again for the opportunity and please find attached the analysis and suggestions to take Dad’s Garage to the next level in the Atlanta theatre market.

  • The Mayor of Emory Village: Memories of Grover by Jennifer J
    December 2020 Volume 35 | Number 4 CONTENTS Better Communications 6 EVA Open Streets 10 Druid Hills Parents 10 School News 12 - 13 Neighborhood Service Day Creates Community By Doug Rollins If you’ve been missing activities that are enjoyable and fulfilling (and safe), your DHCA has created a way you can fill that void! In an effort to give back, build community and even have a little fun, DHCA started Neighborhood Service Days. On October 24, DHCA organized its second Neighborhood Service Day which brought neighbors of all ages together for a morning of “better”! In addition to many DHCA Board members, we welcomed several dozen other residents. Perhaps you’ve seen signs of our improvements. From clearing the log jam that was obstructing the flow of creek water through the village to the bridge that crosses it; from 8 bags of trash collected from Briarcliff to the limbs and branches cleared from Ponce near Fernbank Museum and from the triangular island at Clifton and E. Clifton to Azalea Park. Your neighbors, friends and fellow Druid Hills residents have been busy this Fall. Other signs of improvement include clean speed limit, stop and parking signs up and down Princeton Way and on Ridgewood Drive. We accomplished so much for which we can be proud and perhaps most importantly, we may have the makings of a wonderful new Druid Hills tradition. We would love to hear about your ideas for how we can all work together to make our neighborhood better (email me at [email protected]). In addition, please mark your calendars for our next Neighborhood Service Day on December 12 and check www.druidhills.
