    HYUNDAI: THE WALKING DEAD CHOP SHOP JAY CHIAT AWARDS CATEGORY: NATIONAL STRATEGY BACKGROUND Hyundai has been on the rise with sales increasing by 89% from 2009–2012.1 The brand had built a solid reputation as a rational choice among average car shoppers. But among the highly desirable youth audience driven more by their interests and passions, reason alone wasn’t enough to get them excited about the Hyundai brand. 1Source: Experian Retail Registration 2009 – 2013; 2Source: GfK Quarterly Brand Tracking Studies 2013 Involve the Fans vs. Interrupting Them In the fall of 2013, Hyundai had product placement in the second season of The Walking Dead TV show as a way to build relevance among the show’s Gen Y audience. As the popularity of zombie culture grew, we decided to elevate the partnership with The Walking Dead to increase our relevance with this growing and passionate millennial fan base. However, this highly engaged and passionate Walking Dead youth fanbase didn’t want a brand to interrupt and commercialize their beloved show. So how do you make a rational car brand appealing to an emotionally driven fan audience? Our challenge was to involve the fans with the Hyundai brand and its cars in an authentic way that added value to their experience of The Walking Dead, and not interrupt them. OBJECTIVES & SUCCESS METRICS If we were going to involve the fans, we knew we had to motivate them to participate with us and eventually inspire them to help spread the word on behalf of the brand. OBJECTIVE #1: Engage the Fans to BUILD Demonstrate that the audience is spending more time participating with the Hyundai brand through the number of vehicles configured and built.

As the COVID-19 pandemic’s ripple effects spread throughout the world, digital health technology became a necessary tool for meeting people’s health care needs. This proved to be a massive accelerant to both funding and innovation across the sector. In response, many digital health companies expanded, and deal values soared for early- and growth-stage investments. These developments introduced opportunities for digital health, but they also revealed new challenges, including increased competition, new operational demands, and a need for more judicious spend on capital. Below is a look at what the early- and growth-stage venture ecosystem looks like and steps your company can take to stay competitive in the changing environment. We hope you find this report useful.

  • 8Th Grade Text Structure Lesson, Practice, and Answer Key (Study Island) 1
    8th Grade Text Structure Lesson, Practice, and Answer Key (Study Island) 1 ​Text Structure When you understand how the writer has organized information, you will understand and remember the text better. Writers organize text in several different ways. Cause/Effect The text shows that one event causes another thing to happen. Look for words like "because," "then," "since," and "as a result." Example: It rained for the first few days of the camping trip. As a result, most of the campers ​ were restless and wanted to go home. Comparison/Contrast The text shows how ideas or things are alike or different. Look for words like "best," "more," "better," "less," "worse," "easier," and "than." Example: The best time to visit the Rocky Mountains is early fall. The weather is cooler in the ​ fall than in the summer. You will see fewer people and more animals. The fall colors are more beautiful. Description When you want to paint a picture with words, use description to organize your ideas. To make the picture come alive in your reader's mind, use a lot of adjectives and describe what you would see, taste, smell, feel, or hear. Adjectives are words like "pretty," "sweet," "smooth," and "loud." Example: The cellar was cold, damp, and dark. It smelled musty and old. ​ Problem/Solution The text is split into two parts: One part presents a problem, and the other part gives the solution to the problem. Look for words like "problem," "solution," "solve," and "plan." Example: The city of Taylor has fifteen public swimming pools. In the past, plenty of lifeguards ​ have been available for staffing the pools throughout the summer.

  • Qnas with Angel Rubio QNAS Paul Gabrielsen, Science Writer
    QNAS QnAs with Angel Rubio QNAS Paul Gabrielsen, Science Writer Just as physics requires a different set of tools to explore phenomena at the quantum scale, chemistry requires a quantum paradigm. At the macroscale, the interaction of light with chemical entities can be observed in processes such as photosynthesis. But the actual interaction between photons and other matter occurs in the realm of quantum chemistry. National Academy of Sciences member and physicist Angel Rubio, managing director of the Max Planck Institute for Structure and Dynamics in Hamburg, Germany, studies the theoretical interactions of photons and molecules in isolated cavities. Such cavities may be simple vacuums, or may contain mirrors that reflect particles within them at a frequency dependent on the cavities’ dimensions. In his Inaugural Article (1), Rubio presents model systems of quantum chemistry that ex- plore degrees of coupling between light and matter. Rubio recently spoke to PNAS about his findings. PNAS: How does chemistry change at the quantum scale? Rubio: When you put two atoms together, they form a chemical bond. Our players are molecules and pho- tons. As there are two quantum entities, they will create a bond between the molecule and the photon field. This sort of quasi-particle is called a polariton. It’s not an ’ electron; not a photon. It samix. Angel Rubio. Image courtesy of Angel Rubio. PNAS: How do photons participate in chemical reactions? mediated by the photon and enhanced. Or, if you want, you could quench it. Rubio: Our idea was to keep the normal chemical landscape, but add a new player that controls how PNAS: What is the question that your Inaugural Article these bonds are being formed or broken in the (1) is trying to address? presence of this new glue between the atoms.
