How to deliver projects on brief, on time and on budget

After making strategy, your project or task is ready to start but before starting a project, in my opinion, you should make schedule as process plan like how to achieve a goal. This is not fixed plan, this have to be adjustable and flexible but do not be overambitious otherwise your project would face delay or some problems. Your project proceeds step by step to reach the goal. To divide a project with process plan that may help you if your project or task faced some problems. You will find a problem easily because you don't check through all of detail and process. Perhaps, dividing a project would deliver whole project or task smoothly. During a project, you work within a team so team play is a key element. You should communicate with your teammate in order to share clear vision and the same motivation.  Well communication makes a good teamwork.

Examination your project is necessary and essential factor because the process plan is not perfect. You must know process of your project. In process of time there might appear result and/or performance to adjust and fix in order to deliver project on time and on budget and to achieve your project. During the project or task, it is necessary to do analyses.

Here's my Favourite digital marketing creative and why?

My favourite creative is that TV commercials, like a short drama, were continued the rest of stories on the Web. That meant we could only watch the rest of stories on its website. The idea was successful, I believed, because its style created the commercials which were somehow more interesting and attractive than others. In Fact, many people watched those stories and also companies created several version of its drama. These kinds of advertisements were popular in Japan some years ago. Why did the companies make those advertisements? The answer was, perhaps, that when audience went to the website, they might have given some personal detail at least email. Honestly I've never been those website because I was busy working, although I was always interested in those commercials and I always thought to be going to watch it later then I totally missed a chance to watch it at live. Afterwards, I found those stories on YouTube.

I will give you these videos but I cannot translate all conversation, sorry. Despite of that, I give you a summary of the story. A man who is Japanese and couldn't speak other language at all has gone to overseas business trip in Paris, he met a beautiful attendant on the plane then he got to Paris. He was at a restaurant and saw the attendant with her friends there. He got great feeling as destiny, he would have got three choices to make a decision. Those were acting gently to ask them for the recommendation of the menu or acting quickly to chat up her via her friend who is Japanese or he did noting, he just observed and gazed because he thought there was impossible to talk to her.

Enjoy:)

How to select the most appropriate channels to reach digital natives

Digital marketing, there are lots of channels such as, banner ad for getting attention and taking audience own homepage and blog for providing piece of information and taking them as well. Each channel provides different quality and service. That is difficult to choose which channel is appropriate your project, campaign and so on. On the other hand, digital natives are always connecting digital world by computer, mobile phone and many other gadgets like iPod. They are living with digital medium so, that means how to attract them! That's it but how? Again, that is difficult, too!!

However, I believe there are no perfect channels for every plan, strategy, project etc, like a guideline, because each one is different from others. That means choosing channel that depends on what your strategy, whatever, is... And also, before making strategy, of course, there necessarily do research for knowing about your targets is important. When project starts, you already chose some digital channels those are potentially suitable for the project.  Next what you might do that that collects its statistical data because you probably modify or adjust those channels in order to succeed. For example, making strategy, you chose ten channels before starting a project. Afterwards, you'll get some its statistic data and you analyse the data then perhaps you adjust channels that are reduced more appropriate channels to five or more less.
