Post 2 

It has been one week since my last post and so far the outreach project is progressing nicely. As part of the marketing group my job is to think and create ways of sending a message about our Outreach project that will end up reaching as many people as possible. The marketing group has split into two smaller sub-groups to accomplish our two main ideas; creating posters and making a commercial. Evan and Neal are in charge of making the posters while John, Jalen, and I are in charge of making the commercial. The commercial is to embody what our entire Outreach project is all about. So far we have worked on the script, including me personally. The script isn’t set in stone rather it’s more like an outline for most of stuff we will be saying, and if we think of something good we will add it. The plan is to have the commercial to be done by Friday, so that it will start to be playing on the announcements. So far as I reflect on how the Outreach is going, I think it is going good but I realized something that isn’t too good for us. We are not the only class trying to raise awareness and raise money for a cause. This means people will have more choices to who wish to spend or donate their money to. What I think makes it worse is that what we are bringing awareness isn’t as easy to describe as other causes are. If people don’t really understand what we are all about this will lead to less money and awareness being raised. This is why I think the commercial I am working on is so important. If done correctly, watching our commercial will incite the viewers to donate or talk about our cause. For next week I plan on having the commercial completely done and for it to be playing on the announcements as soon as possible. Monday would seem like the earliest time that it would air, but no later than Wednesday. This may still only be the beginning but I am looking forward to what will be happening in the future.
