1. Lets do the math US population: 281,000,000 (rounded)
Adults, 20-30: 40,000,000
Adults, 20-30, some college: 21,000,000
Your budget: $1,200,000
Your per person budget:
US pop 2000 census www.census.gov Approx 14% of US is 20-30
Approx 52% of us adults(25+) have some college, so actual some college may be higher than 21 million. (There were approx 14 million people of all ages enrolled in colleges of all types (university through community college) in 1999)
5.7 cents is also a $57.00 CPM. US pop 2000 census www.census.gov Approx 14% of US is 20-30

3. In other words Youve got just enough money to reach everybody just about once. That is, if you could find media with a user base that matched the 20-something, some college profile. And the cost was cheap enough to cover any spillage outside of the target, and you were happy with a 1-shot campaign.That is, if you could find media with a user base that matched the 20-something, some college profile.

10. Events & Sponsorships Why do them?
Do they work?
Events & sponsorships:
--why do them? Opportunity to reach new audience (esp. imp. For media marketers). Opportunity to interact at non-advertising, personal level. Can tie your product to larger ideas and issues.
Do they work? Depends on what you mean by work. Little data on how much connection between sponsoring event and memory for co. sponsoring.Events & sponsorships:

12. The Wall That Heals Rationale
Provide TNTs cable ops with local event
Turn-key
Quality equivalent to TNT movie premiere
Create national programming & PR source
TNTs customers (like TCMs) are cable ops. Local events help cement relationships w/city councils, who must approve rates. Problem: local cable ops not always staffed to handle promotions.TNTs customers (like TCMs) are cable ops. Local events help cement relationships w/city councils, who must approve rates.
