Answer Upon - Cracking Da Media Code
With the number of consumers in the marketplace continuing to increase and new businesses sprouting like mushrooms all over to respond to everyone's needs, coming up with new advertising and marketing plans can become a pain for business owners who are trying to make their enterprises stand out in the crowd.As customers come and customers go and attention spans get shorter and shorter by the second, the problem for business owners is finding a way to have a potential customer stop even for just a second to look at a specific advertisement.That is the reason the majority of marketers resort to using TV or outrageously blown up billboards screaming for attention. However these methods can be a strain in the pocket for the beginning business person. If you are just starting out in your

Since its introduction in the 1990’s, Six Sigma has become the buzzword in both the manufacturing and service industries. The various methodologies used in Six Sigma are based on a disciplined and data driven approach that help in eliminating defects and achieving near perfection by restricting the number of possible defects to less than 3.4 defects per million. The methodologies are effective in managing business processes of both the manufacturing and service industries. In manufacturing industries, the concepts and methodologies are used for reducing the number of defects whereas in service industries, they are used mainly for reducing transactional errors.Although many companies have been successful in reducing the number of defects through Six Sigma projects, the arguments raised again
How do you crack Da Media Code and get your message across clearly and consistently in the media.
Well, for some the media represents a secret sect to be feared or revered.
In reality, the media are a group of dedicated professionals just doing their job of keeping the community informed.
Understand how the media works, what makes a story and what motivates them ... and you understand how to work with them and not against them.
Having worked in the media for the past 26 years, including print, radio, television, wires services, internet, blogging and podcasting, here is the secret code for unlocking the riches that the media can offer.
First, you have to get inside the mind of the media, to unlock the code of what motivates reporters, editors, executive producers and other decision makers.
Unlock this code and you are guaranteed of being able to connect with them and truly understand their deepest desires, aspirations and motivations.
After working in the media for so long, my model on why people are attracted to working in the media has identified five archetypes.
At the core, every individual working within the media could be classified within one of these five archetypes.
Remember, according to wikipedia "an archetype is an idealized model of a person, object, or concept from which similar instances are derived, copied, patterned, or emulated. In psychology, an archetype is a model of a person, personality or behaviour."
Cracking Da Media Code is about archetypes in the media and understanding how to work best with them.
Understand how to work with these five archetypes and you have cracked Da Media Code.
1. The Ego Driven.
These people are attracted to the media because they want to see their name in print, hear their voice on radio or see their face on television.
They have strong egos, opinions and self belief.
To crack the code, learn to work with and to their egos. They thrive on looking good, being complimented and positive stroking of their already healthy self-esteem.
They've got to the top by looking good, sounding confident and writing clearly.
2. The Story Teller.
These mediatypes are interested in the personal or hero's journey of individuals. They want to discover and tell the highs and lows of an individual's personal quest.
Australian Story on ABC TV on Monday night is a classic palette on which a story teller can work their craft.
You never hear or see the journalist. It is all about the talent telling their story in their own words.
In fact the program has become the media vehicle of choice for people under pressure in the public spotlight who want to tell their version of events in their own way without the intense questioning of the media.
The most skilled and successful archetype in this category influences millions through his work in Hollywood and ranks among the most successful storytellers in history. His name is Steven Spielberg.
Storytellers tend to have a sense of wonder and faith in human nature and be optimistic. They love dealing with ordinary characters who find themselves in extraordinary circumstances.

An employee’s paycheck ought to be issued on payday. Paychecks are normally made available every two weeks because there are two paydays per month – the 10th and the 25th. If payday happens to fall on a Saturday or any other holiday, then employees get paid on Friday or the previous day, respectively. If payday falls on a Sunday, on the other hand, then payment will be made the Monday after. If that Monday happens to be a holiday, then paychecks are delivered the previous Friday.Paychecks are distributed by the payroll or personnel departments. Paychecks will not be mailed to one’s home address by the payroll office. One can make special arrangements for checks to be home delivered.There are certain procedures associated with paycheck receipt, called payroll coordinator procedures

You need to take advantage of targeted advertising frequently to help make your online business successful. Targeted advertising means that you are advertising primarily to those who may actually purchase your product or service. You only reach those that may already be interested in what you have to offer instead of spending your advertising budgets on trying to reach everyone. One way to achieve targeted advertising is to use free reprint articles or custom written articles that will ultimately reach your targeted audience.A lot of times when a new tv show comes out on tv there is a target market that the tv program is shooting for so they also search for advertisers who would fit with that audience. Also along with the target audience often times the show will be tested with the ta

The senior flight attendant on the WestJet flight was starting the routine safety talk: the bit about flotation vests and emergency exits that we ignore at the beginning of every flight.“If we could have your attention, please, we would appreciate it - in fact we’d be downright shocked,” she said. The passengers and the rest of the crew laughed along with her and then, having captured our attention, she went on with her instructions.That event, on my second flight with the airline, may have been the point when I became a fan of this upstart, discount carrier. The flight attendant’s small joke was just one of many good-spirited remarks I heard from station staff and cabin crews.Guess what? I like travelling with people who enjoy their work. And that point is made, too, by Lance

3. The Mirror Holder.
These mediatypes want to hold a mirror up to the world. Not because of their ego but because they want to be part of living history.
And that's the essence of what motivates them. They want to hold a mirror up to the world and report on history as it unfolds by reporting as accurately and fairly as possible.
They are often foreign correspondents and found in the world's hotspots. They thrive on adrenaline, the thrill of the chase and have an eye for detail.
My friend, 33-year-old Australian cameraman Harry Burton, who worked for the Reuters agency and whom I met on a Vincent Fairfax Fellowship was typical of this archetype. He was tragically killed in a roadside ambush 90 kilometres from Kabul in Afghanistan on the 19th of November 2001 chasing his dream.
Neil Davis (1934-1985), an Australian Combat Cameraman who is the subject of the book One Crowded Hour is another.
To crack the code with these mediatypes means the story must have strong news values .... dramatic, newsworthy and with major consequences.
4. The Truth Seeker.
These mediatypes believe it is their responsibility to turn over every stone to uncover the truth.
They are methodical and ruthless in their pursuit of the truth. One archetype I know was a detective in the police force before becoming a journalist.
To crack the code, remember they will never write a story from a media release. They will be down at the courts or trawling through freedom of information material in their quest to uncover the truth.
Always be honest and upfront when dealing with truthseekers.
5. The Social Activist.
These archetypes are attracted to the media because they want to change the world. They see the power and influence the media has and they use it to further their own cause or personal agenda.
The secret is to find their cause, passion or reason for being and work to this strength.
You will find them as environmental reporters, or covering industrial relations, education or social justice topics.
In summary, understand these five archetypes and you will have greater success in getting your message across in the media.
