  • Plan Estrategico De Publicidad
    El papel del logotipo como elemento evocador de una personalidad de marca Item Type info:eu-repo/semantics/bachelorThesis Authors Lindo Noriega, Patricia Publisher Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC) Rights info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Download date 27/09/2021 05:32:42 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/10757/576106 CAPÍTULO 1 LOS MUNDOS EXISTENTES EN UN LOGOTIPO Si uno no sabe historia, no sabe nada: es como ser una hoja y no saber que forma parte del árbol. Michael Crichton. Los logotipos son elementos que se engranan dentro de un gigantesco sistema que incluye símbolos, signos y significados distintos. Más allá del marketing y las marcas, hoy estos elementos forman parte de la vida diaria y de la cultura. En consecuencia, el entendimiento de su importancia y significado es fundamental para cualquier profesional inmerso en el campo de las comunicaciones. El presente capítulo desarrolla un marco teórico con el fin de establecer un punto de partida que permita la comprensión de las teorías y conceptos generados a través del tiempo sobre el papel del logotipo y su poder en los diferentes ámbitos relacionados con la identidad de una marca, su personalidad y sus consumidores. Como primer punto, se exponen las nociones básicas acerca de la definición del logotipo: concepto, clases, principales funciones y características, el proceso de creación gráfica y sus diferentes aplicaciones prácticas. Luego, se desarrolla un análisis de este elemento a través de la historia: su origen y proceso de evolución, desde los inicios de la humanidad hasta la actualidad. Por último, se describe su inserción dentro del escenario planteado por el marketing; así como su relación con la evocación de la personalidad y la identidad de una marca y de sus consumidores.

    ICONOGRAFÍA DE LA VICTORIA EN LA ESTRATEGIA COMUNICATIVA DE NIKE Iconography of the Victory in Nike’s Communication Strategy Grado en Publicidad y Relaciones Públicas Trabajo Final de Grado Modalidad A Autora: Marta Taboada Campos Tutor: José Antonio Palao Errando Fecha: 24/05/2017 ICONOGRAFÍA DE LA VICTORIA EN LA ESTRATEGIA COMUNICATIVA DE NIKE RESUMEN Y PALABRAS CLAVE Resumen: Este trabajo propone desvelar la estrategia creativa de Nike, indagando en un aspecto concreto de la misma: la representación visual del mito de la Victoria. A través del análisis iconográfico de sus representaciones visuales durante los últimos 30 años (1985-2015) y de la división cronológica de las etapas clave de su historia publicitaria, hemos llevado a cabo una lectura analítica de su discurso. Dicho análisis ha servido para extrapolar un modelo estratégico válido centrado en el análisis iconográfico. Nike ha mantenido una misma línea estratégica basada en la victoria personal de sus consumidores, instaurando así un estilo y un tono representativos de su identidad corporativa. En primer lugar, Nike fue pionero en el sector de la moda deportiva en utilizar el storytelling como método creativo. La marca entendió la complejidad y la competitividad del mercado y llevó sus productos no sólo al terreno atlético, sino a todo tipo de targets, a través de un discurso social. Este fue el gran logro comunicativo de Nike: transmitir a los consumidores que todo aquel que lo ansíe, puede llegar a ser un gran atleta. En segundo lugar, Nike entendió los comportamientos que se crean alrededor del universo deportivo y de aquellos que lo practican.

  • Origen De La Marca
    ORIGEN DE LA MARCA 1950 Nacimiento de la idea El entrenador de la Universidad de Oregon, Estados Unidos, Bill Bowerman, en su afán de darles ventajas a sus deportistas durante las competencias, decide que era necesario hacerle modificaciones al calzado que se usaba diariamente. La Propuesta Junto con un alumno suyo de Oregon, Phil Knight, y pronto colega, decidieron proponer a varias compañías de calzado en Japón que hicieran los cambios pensados a los modelos de calzado para revolucionar esta prenda deportiva en los Estados Unidos y ganar el dominio de dicha industria. 1960 Blue Ribbon Sports Luego de llegar a un acuerdo con la marca japonesa “Tiger”, el profesor y el estudiante forman una alianza para la distribución del calzado extranjero en EEUU creando una sociedad con el nombre de “Blue Ribbons Sports”. Su primera compra fue una orden de 100 pares de zapatillas las cuales se vendieron en el local de Knight en 1964. 1965 Jeff Johnson Gracias al crecimiento de BRS era necesario que los colegas encontraran a otra persona que los ayudara con el manejo de la empresa. Ahí es cuando apareció Jeff Johnson, una ficha clave para la compañía. Generando bajo costo, él fue el que impulsó la publicidad de la marca y que la introdujo a los catálogos de indumentaria. Consecuencias del marketing BRS despegó comercialmente gracias a la movida de Johnson. Fue por esto, que decidieron abrir un local vía correo que fuera al por menor en Santa Mónica, California. Esto generó un crecimiento sustancial de la empresa. 1970 Creación de NIKE El trío toma la decisión de cortar sus lazos con la empresa japonesa y dejar de distribuir sus productos por Estados Unidos.

    Bheki Hlabane Title: The Political, Economic And Social Impact Of Hosting Mega-Sports Events: The 2010 South Africa World Cup In Comparative Perspective PhD Thesis submitted to: Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University (APU). Asia Pacific Studies (APS) 2012 Acknowledgements I am deeply thankful to my supervisor, Prof Jeremy Eades, whose support and guidance has served as a pillar of strength and encouragement throughout my studies. His approach and positive attitude had been the key in helping me develop a better understanding of the issues. I would also like to extend my gratitude to Prof Malcolm Cooper for giving direction throughout my fieldwork process. Further acknowledgements are due to the South African Tourism office in Japan and the South African Embassy in Japan. Both have made a significant contribution in my PhD studies in Japan. The chance to have such an exciting and educational research experience would not have been possible without the quality of programs offered at Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University. In addition, the University helped me with material support, technical support and in participation in student life. They say life is a journey. I guess that is also true with studying towards a PhD degree. The experience I have gained throughout my studies at APU will be significant as my life moves forward. To date, I have managed to publish two papers/articles. The first one has been published with the Ritsumeikan Journal (RJAPS), Volume 28 in 2010 and titled Sociology of Sports mega-events, Tourism Perspective. The second one is published in The International Journal of Sport and Society, volume 1.Issue 4, titled Sociology of Sports Mega –Events: Sports Diplomacy and FIFA World Cup; ‘Global Peace Building Initiative.

Polémica, superación y la defensa de la igualdad. ALUMNO/A: Carmen Victoria Aguado López TUTOR: Elena González Gascón DPTO.: Estudios Económicos y Financieros Resumen El objetivo principal de este Trabajo de Fin de Grado es analizar la evolución publicitaria de diversas empresas. Para alcanzar dicho objetivo se analizan los spots más representativos de Nike, Calvin Klein y Benetton que se muestran asi como una visión sobre los mismos.

La población mundial, así como sus ansias de consumo, han ido creciendo en las últimas décadas al igual que el aumento del poder adquisitivo. Además la competencia en la industria en cada vez mayor y cualquier disimilitud hace que se hable más de una empresa que de otra. En primer lugar se realiza una breve evolución histórica de la publicidad a modo introductorio para describir los cambios que se ha producido a lo largo de los siglos. Así como los diferentes tipos de escritura y medios de realizar publicidad. Seguidamente se realiza un análisis de las campañas más significativas en diversos medios comunicativos (prensa y Tv) de Nike, Calvin Klein y Benetton concluyendo cada apartado con una escueta valoración personal de la misma.

  • Brandforum 1 Il Global Tournament Di Nike Il Global Tournament Di Nike
    BrandForum Il Global Tournament di Nike Scritto da Vittoria Sinisi Un modello vincente di comunicazione integrata È on air da meno di due mesi ma è già considerata un vero e proprio cult per sportivi e non. Gli esperti di comunicazione, invece, la giudicano una case history di successo, un modello vincente di comunicazione integrata. Stiamo parlando della campagna The Secret TournamentTournament presentata dalla Nike, una campagna globale diffusa in ben 24 paesi creata ad hoc per sfruttare l'enorme cassa di risonanza costituita dai Mondiali di calcio 2002. Partita come campagna teaser, la Nike ha tenuto per due settimane tutti gli spettatori con il fiato sospeso, facendo apparire sui teleschermi semplicemente uno Scorpione accompagnato dal famoso swoosh. Ma cosa c'entra lo scorpione con la Nike? La spiegazione è arrivata solo più tardi con lo spot che vedeva schierati in campo il meglio del calcio mondiale: Totti, Ronaldo, Figo, Cannavaro, Henry, Davids, Carlos, Crespo…e tante altre "superstar" del calcio internazionale. Il leggendario fuoriclasse francese Eric Cantona è il cerimoniere del misterioso Secret TournamentTournament, che si svolge nella pancia di un'enorme petroliera ancorata in chissà quale angolo della terra. Qui è stata disposta una gabbia metallica all'interno della quale si sfidano in un torneo di calcio 3 contro 3, in cui l'unica regola è "chi segna per primo, vince". Ed ecco spiegato il significato dello scorpione, icona del pericolo, che riesce a racchiudere mirabilmente le peculiarità del Secret Tournament, tutto giocato sulla velocità e sulla creatività, dove ogni tocco di palla può essere quello decisivo, letale, come il tocco dello scorpione.

  • Tell the Story, Make the Sale
    Tell The Story, Make the Sale Coco Chanel Before she changed the face of fashion with her haute couture dresses, sophisticated suits and luxury fragrances, Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel was a poor girl who came from humble beginnings. Orphaned at a young age, Chanel made a living as a simple seamstress and cabaret performer. She earned the nickname "Coco" after one of the nightly songs she performed for drunken soldiers. Her rags-to-riches story was widely unknown—as her fame grew, Chanel kept her modest childhood a secret. Her transformative journey is revealed in Coco Before Chanel, a French film starring Audrey Tautou in limited release beginning Friday, September 25, 2009. "She was really quite a radical person," says Valerie Steele, director of The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City and author of Women of Fashion. "She grew up very poor— a kept woman who didn't want to just be somebody's mistress. She identified with wealthy men. She wanted to have the independence that they had." The classic black-and-white palette, menswear-inspired design and simple elegance of the Chanel revered today are what made her a rebel in the 1920s and 30s. "She rejected a lot of the feminine styles of her day and created a kind of androgynous style," Steele says. "In a way, she was the first female dandy, which I think is still very powerfully modern." The press could not get enough of her rebellious style. The Chanel brand thrived until economic depression and the outbreak of World War II caused her business to close in 1939.
