Religare was launched in Jan 07, been a new entrant it was struggling for a brand visibility in the highly cluttered financial services sector. NAC Advertising was assigned with the task to make Religare a visible and vibrant brand in the marketplace. NAC launched the Religare campaign on the Budget day in 2007.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Every retailer, investor waits for the Budget day to make fresh financial / investment decisions. Hence, the launch of Religare campaign on the Budget day was an excellent strategic move. The campaign was launched with multiple innovative activities, with a leading business channel to grab the maximum eye balls. The campaign created top of the mind awareness for Regilare brand. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Building a strong consumer brand in a highly commoditized product-led market &amp;amp; creating credible brand awareness amongst the target audience in such a short span was no mean feat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; Then NAC launched Race campaign, post budget. The objective was to educate the target audience about the product and services Religare offers and to make them use it Rather then going in the direction of the wind for smooth sailing NAC went against the wind and accepted the challenge. They asked Religare management to dictate the volume of responses they expect to generate from the campaign. NAC made media and strategy planning with the focus on the volumes of business the campaign targets to generate.&lt;span style="COLOR:black;"&gt; This unconventional strategy was designed to grab the maximum chunk of market share and &lt;/span&gt;to accelerate the brand growth&lt;span style="COLOR:black;"&gt; in the highly competitive &lt;span&gt;financial services&lt;/span&gt; industry&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;The aim was to create not just an effective but also a cost efficient campaign within the allocated budget. &lt;span style="COLOR:black;"&gt;A series of &lt;span&gt;TVC, print &amp;amp; radio &lt;/span&gt;campaigns were released &lt;/span&gt;to create a strong Brand image, complemented with the outdoor media for brand identity &amp;amp; brand recall. Since the launch of race campaign, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Religare market share is growing robustly in what has been an increasingly competitive marketplace. At the time of IPO services launch, NAC focused specifically on the outdoor media. Again here they narrowed down to most strategic locations, where hoardings were installed to announce the arrival of IPO services by Religare. The strategy was simple &amp;amp; most effective as considerable brand awareness was created with impressive brand recall so rather then flooding whole city with hoardings, NAC pinpointed locations for high visibility with just five to six hoardings. The Race campaign achieved the volumes target set by Religare resulted &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;in an increased customer base. &lt;span style="COLOR:black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR:black;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Till date, this year too saw many activities for brand promotion. But not on as larger scale as the previous year because now Religare is one of the leading financial services providers. So the budget is also low as compared to the previous year as market penetration has increased dramatically. The focus is to leverage the brand awareness for creating Brand equity. The campaign again evolved around the Budget â08. Ads across all media carried a SMS short code to gauge the impact of the campaign and to create leads. The Religare is taking market by storm and the financial services sector is all set to experience a sea change, courtesy, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;NAC advertisingâs innovative strategy &amp;amp; media planning.&lt;span style="COLOR:black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;

The current team has been together a long time. We have won many races over the years. &lt;br /&gt;Chuck Kirch is a very impressive driver with many accomplishments &lt;br /&gt;As far as equipment, we have a brand new Modified ready for action. We have all the tools to keep up a competitive car. We are in need of an enclosed trailer, which will become a rolling billboard for our sponsors. &lt;br /&gt;With a primary sponsor package, a showcar can be included for even more valuable exposure. &lt;br /&gt;We invite your business to share the winning attitude of the Chuck Kirch Race Team, which will lead to winning races, and winning customers for your business &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE DRIVER &lt;br /&gt;Age: 38 Home: Merriam,Kansas &lt;br /&gt;Years racing: 30 &lt;br /&gt;Karts-Minisprints-Midgets-Sprints-Modifieds &lt;br /&gt;Achievements: &lt;br /&gt;8 GrandNational Karting Championships &lt;br /&gt;2 Mini Sprint Championships &lt;br /&gt;State Championships &lt;br /&gt;Regional Championships &lt;br /&gt;Track Championships &lt;br /&gt;Series Championships &lt;br /&gt;Rookie Of The Year Championships &lt;br /&gt;Several feature wins. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;POSTCARDS &lt;br /&gt;Photo card handouts are another way the race team can advertise for your business. These keepsakes are autographed by the driver, taken home, and hung anywhere from someone&amp;#39;s office, to someone&amp;#39;s refrigerator &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CAR SHOWS &lt;br /&gt;Another way our team promotes our sponsors is by car show appearances each year. &lt;br /&gt;On the marketing side, this is a great opportunity for your company to gain more exposure. &lt;br /&gt;The show lasts Friday through Sunday and there are thousands of people that will show up through the weekend. &lt;br /&gt;In the spring and summer months we usually try to hit a few &lt;br /&gt;more shows that don&amp;#39;t interfere with our racing. I have to tell you &lt;br /&gt;that when we show up for these summer shows we will &lt;br /&gt;have the best looking race car in the show and it will become a magnet &lt;br /&gt;to the spectators. They have seen many of the street rods &lt;br /&gt;at other shows and a lot of people know each other. &lt;br /&gt;So when we bring one of our cars it will draw a lot of attention. &lt;br /&gt;This is something we see every time and we laugh about it. &lt;br /&gt;But it will be great for our sponsors &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IN CAR PHOTOS &lt;br /&gt;This is something Chuck Kirch Racing will start doing in 2008. While at all events, we will let people sit in our race car and have their picture taken. &lt;br /&gt;We will then take that picture and lay it in a template that has the event, date etcâ¦ &lt;br /&gt;Next we will email the picture to that person so they can print it out to what ever size they want. Or they can just save the file on their computer or even use it in a screen saver or background. &lt;br /&gt;This would work great for any store front promotions that include a race car display. It is also great for your company picnic! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More Information About Chuck Kirch The Driver: &lt;br /&gt;I really dont like to talk about this much, for everyday I have some struggle that is a reminder, as my friends you should now my story of what i have been through and maybe understand where i am coming from you have no idea until you have walked in my shoes. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;I do not like or want pity. It is not a party to celebrate.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1999 I remember Waking up in helicopter heading to a hospital ER when i got there Dr.s refused to treat me said they wasn&amp;#39;t a trauma center no medical explanation I was alive medically i should not be alive, so they flighted me to KU medical center where basically the same thing was said i shouldn&amp;#39;t be alive the XRays showed I had Crushed C-1, Shattered C-2 &amp;amp; Fractured C-3, I remember being strapped to a bed for eight days, With Dr.s telling my family and myself that I wouldn&amp;#39;t make it through to the next day on the eighth day a Dr Amistad had been doing a seminar at the hospital and was updated on my results and injuries came in and suggested an experimental surgery,But the only guarantee was I would be left paralyzed from my neck down with maybe 45% usage of my neck, after the many surgeries over a yearly spand that was the true fact, I was paralyzed from the neck down maybe 35% use of my neck for two years, &lt;br /&gt;I went through alot of hard times of not wanting to live and soul searching etc, after finding my peace of mind and inner soul I started telling everyone I was going to walk again and someday race again, they just laughed and went along with my dreams and thoughts,well in 2003 I started getting feeling and movement back in my legs and my arms etc and my Dr said it was just probably muscle spasms after it kept progressing he said its a miracle and started me in rehab very painful stressful rehab to learn to walk again basically i had to learn everything i did before all over again,Well in 2006 my burning desire to race again was ignited and started raging like an INFERNO and i started to try getting back into racing no one i had raced for before would give me a ride or any of the new faces of people racing.What is my reflection of the difference in racing today and before my accident after i have lost everything in racing and have very little funds available? I was a very good driver with many accomplishments and achived many racing goals, I could basically show up at any track and someone would offer me a ride if i did not have one. What i see in todays racing world of all kinds of motorsports is it really doesnt matter on the skill and talent you have anymore But how much money can you bring to the table I see not only myself but alot of other young talented drivers that will never get a chance to prove ourselves because most rides are Bought by parents,drivers and sponsors that otherwise would never get a ride it depends on who you know and how much are you but i have God in my life now to guide me through these times of struggle to the life he had planned for me the day I was born, I have no regrets, no hard feelings very thankful to be alive with a full recovery. I am Not asking for pity I do not like or want pity,what i do want is another chance I believe I have at least earned that much. &lt;br /&gt;I am writing you today with the hopes that we can find a way to create a win-win situation for your company and mine. From me to you, it&amp;#39;s &amp;#39;win-win&amp;#39; or &amp;#39;no deal&amp;#39; situation here. Still, I am shooting for a win-win so let&amp;#39;s get to it. &lt;br /&gt;I have been racing and winning in Karts, Mini-Sprints, Midgets and Sprints since a very early age of eight. &lt;br /&gt;My racing career started in 1977 and ended in 1999 with an almost fatal crash that left me paralyzed for two years from the neck down,between those years God gave me the ability to win several Championships along with several Feature Wins,from Karts, Mini Sprints, Midgets and Sprints. Now, I am fully recovered and have a Burning desire to race again that rages like an inferno and decided I would like the chance to jump into the Most Popular Motorsports Divisions of MODIFIEDS AND/OR LATE MODELS, with possibilities of running other local series as well. Of course, I&amp;#39;ll chase a few of the really big 2 and 3 day events in the 2008 season. As a team, our goal is to go and see if we can be a top 5 in every event we enter and finish top 3 in points. Should be a lot of fun and a huge challenge. Advertising is big business, and racing has proven time and time again that it holds a special place in the advertising world. Our agreement and deal for a season long primary sponsorship, you will get an Impressive Driver with National, State, Series &amp;amp; Track Championships with several feature win honors , racing a car with your company logo and colors on all the best locations on the car, trailer, driver and team uniforms. You will get press coverage with our team releases and local news outlets. As we both know, A Primary Sponsorship is a lot of money but it puts your name in front of thousands if not tens of thousands of potential customers over the course of a week. If you don&amp;#39;t have a lot of money for television and newspaper coverage, with so many stations to choose from, who does? Racing is a very attractive alternative. It&amp;#39;s a nine to ten month gold mine of opportunity. Although we like to stick our car in car shows during the off-season. So, we do our best to be a year around effort. Still, if a Primary Sponsorship is over your budget we can still make this work as we have several places on the car, trailer and uniforms for all types of sponsors. We could use specialty sponsorships for example, a chassis or motor sponsor or tire and wheel sponsor. We need fuel or an oil sponsor. Travel sponsors. The needs are sometimes specific and sometimes not but the overall cost for us to complete the 2008 season are in a neighborhood of $25,000 - $100,000. With that, we could make do and race for the pleasure and thrill of victory &amp;amp; racing. Below is a list of our wants and needs, starting from the bottom up as any upstart team in a new series has to do, you will see what it&amp;#39;ll take to help us as move towards our goals of competing and winning at some of the best dirt tracks in the country right here-- we&amp;#39;re already motivated! &lt;br /&gt;These are the packages available contact me to discuss what it&amp;#39;ll cost for a season with the countries finest with some careful planning and budgeting. &lt;br /&gt;2008 &lt;br /&gt;Primary Sponsorship &lt;br /&gt;Full Travel sponsorship &lt;br /&gt;Full Friday Night sponsorship &lt;br /&gt;Full Saturday Night sponsorship &lt;br /&gt;Start-up sponsorship &lt;br /&gt;Parts &amp;amp; Service sponsorships greatly appreciated as well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to be able to go out and race and not worry if I break something that I canât race the following week. I just want to make it to the next level. &lt;br /&gt;Without some new sponsorship, I may have to step out of the racing limelight after the 2008 season If I even make it all the way to the endof the 2008 season,even after everything I have accomplished. I have overcame life-threatening injuries and developed new techniques to enable myself to race, but in the end, My dream may come to an end because of a green piece of paper called money. I could go on and on but i will not bore any of you with anymore of my gloom,I will promise you all of this, I will start the 2008 season with everything i have and do the best i can with what i have until it runs out then the dream will have to end and maybe its time to move on whether i want to or not, hang my helmet up and give up the dream..Never..I dont believe for a second there is anyone that has a more burning desire or has any better of talent in driving a racecar, My dream may come to an end because of a green piece of paper called money and lack of help. &lt;br /&gt;Chuck Kirch&amp;quot;The Inferno&amp;quot; is a name that may not be well known in todays Racing community, but it should be. &lt;br /&gt;I am a unique individual; in that I am one of the few people who didn&amp;#39;t let their handicap disable them. &lt;br /&gt;I was paralyzed from the neck down due to an accident a few years ago, and like the saying goes: what doesnât kill you will only make you stronger; I believe I am a true example of that. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Peoples Car in 2008 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chuck Kirch Motorsports is taking a different approach to the 2008 season. We, as a team, recognize that it is difficult to obtain sponsorships. A majority of our fan base is everyday working folks who would love to give but can&amp;#39;t afford to. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chuck Kirch Motorsports wants to make this opportunity available to these hardworking fans. We want this to be America&amp;#39;s car. We want this to be the fan&amp;#39;s car. How would you like to be a part of that? How would you like to be a fan knowing that your money helped this team make it to the racetrack? The Modified Series is the fastest growing series in the Country. It&amp;#39;s only going to continue to grow and we would like you be a part of it. We decided this year we didn&amp;#39;t need a specific paint scheme. We want our paint scheme to be America&amp;#39;s names, fans names. How many of you have children out there that would like to have their name on a Race Car for everyone to see indicating that they had donated to its success? Well, we are going to give them that opportunity this year. For $100.00 we will put their name on our racecar for the 2008 racing season. Their name will also be included on our website for the 2008 sponsors. You heard us right! For $100.00 you can go from fan to sponsor. This is affordable and attainable for everyone. Corporate sponsorships are attainable and we welcome their support as well wholeheartedly. But the fans are what makes this enjoyable and now everyone can have a piece of our team. pay your $100.00 sponsorship fee you will get a personal autographed photo along with a signed hat and be a part of our team in 2008. and become a part of The Peoples car. When you make your donation provide us with the name/names you want listed and your email address so we can provide you with photos and updates throughout the 2008 season! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is not a joke and I hope you allow us to keep the post. As you all know it is very difficult to attain sponsorship and we are trying to be innovative.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I Look Foreward To Speaking With You In The Near Future &lt;br /&gt;For more information please Email,Write or Post&amp;nbsp;A Reply: &lt;br /&gt;Serious inquiries only please &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:INFERNO@KC.RR.COM"&gt;INFERNO@KC.RR.COM&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Chuck Kirch &lt;br /&gt;8921 W 51st &lt;br /&gt;Merriam,KS &lt;br /&gt;66203&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/infernomotorsports" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.myspace.com/infernomotorsports&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;__&lt;br /&gt;disclaimer: &lt;br /&gt;These opinions are mine and mine alone and do not reflect the opinions of any other entity either real or imagined and should be taken as such I have no intention of offending anyone All I really want to do is drive in circles in the dirt and have a good time &lt;br /&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: URGENT ATTENTION BOSS: WOULD YOU PLS COMMENT ON 'MY MOTIVATION LETTER'</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/UrgentAttentionBossWouldMotivation-Letter/zlclh/post.htm#472420</link><pubDate>Mon, 04 Feb 2008 12:08:38 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:472420</guid><dc:creator>Mister Micawber</dc:creator><description>&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;I have reviewed your letter again, with suggested changes in bold.&amp;nbsp; I cannot follow all your colours and interjections, so I have merely amended as I think best (and some of them are improvements on my own previous suggestions):&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Program Code: &lt;/strong&gt;MKT2345&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;February 2, 2008&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dear Sir/Madam:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am writing to apply for&lt;b&gt; your&lt;/b&gt; Masterâs Programme in &amp;nbsp;***. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My educational background is in the principles and practices of&amp;nbsp;marketing &lt;b&gt;management&lt;/b&gt;.
I completed a three-year BBA (&lt;b&gt;Honours&lt;/b&gt;) IT program in 2004. My studies have
guided me through systematic &lt;b&gt;research&lt;/b&gt;, analytical thinking,
management of resources and information evaluation. &lt;b&gt;I completed&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;my&lt;/b&gt; MBA with specialization in marketing in
December 2005.&amp;nbsp; Marketing Management, Advertising, Sales Management,
Services Marketing, Business Strategy&amp;nbsp;&amp;amp; Leadership Management&amp;nbsp;and Entrepreneurship&amp;nbsp;were among my favourite subjects &lt;b&gt;within&lt;/b&gt; the MBA program&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After completing my &lt;b&gt;MBA, I&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;started my career at an international level. In June 2006, I was employed as an Operations Supervisor for a large &lt;b&gt;supermarket chain&lt;/b&gt; in Saudi Arabia.&amp;nbsp; This &lt;b&gt;was valuable experience in leading&lt;/b&gt; a multinational team to plan&lt;b&gt; and&lt;/b&gt; manage the&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;availability&lt;/b&gt; of
thousands of&amp;nbsp;brands&amp;nbsp;with &lt;b&gt;complex&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;supplier&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;networks and&lt;/b&gt; demanding
&lt;b&gt;international&lt;/b&gt; customers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;In addition to&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;daily supermarket operations&lt;/b&gt;, I have also been &lt;b&gt;analysing&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;leading brands&lt;/b&gt;. For &lt;b&gt;example, the key Saudi fresh dairy product brands&lt;/b&gt; are Almarai, Nadec, Nada, and Alsafi Danone. I have &lt;b&gt;been compiling&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;monthly&lt;/b&gt; sales figures&amp;nbsp; and &lt;b&gt;attempting&lt;/b&gt; to determine why Almarai is the top selling &lt;b&gt;brand.&amp;nbsp; My analysis&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;shows that Alamarai&amp;nbsp; management focuses on high quality product, packaging design, promotions (renting 60% of the category shelf space) and&amp;nbsp;advertising.&amp;nbsp; The company&amp;nbsp;uses&lt;b&gt; a &lt;/b&gt;strategy of market penetration to beat the competition&lt;b&gt;; promotion&lt;/b&gt;
emphasises brand strengths across segments and an intensive
distribution network is maintained locally.

&lt;p&gt;My two-year contract will soon&lt;b&gt; terminate&lt;/b&gt; and I have now been offered a Store Manager position, but I have a strong ambition to become a marketing/management specialist&lt;b&gt;, which I cannot do&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;without a fuller&lt;/b&gt; understanding of a specific marketing/management field.&amp;nbsp; Obtaining a one-year master's degree from *** means becoming a
specialist or &lt;b&gt;advancing&lt;/b&gt; a step towards &lt;b&gt;that goal&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have already met people from many
nations in Saudi Arabia, and I will further learn from others
while living in a new culture. I will make new friends from Europe,
will learn their life&lt;b&gt; styles&lt;/b&gt;, achieving my&amp;nbsp;objective of
personal growth, and when I complete my master's degree I will achieve
my objective of professional growth. &lt;b&gt;Your&lt;/b&gt; programme will equip me with
the necessary skills to continue to acquire new knowledge and
understanding throughout &lt;b&gt;my career.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hope that the combination of my past experiences and academic education will qualify me as a University of *** master's programme candidate. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Don't EVER use an ampersand in a formal letter unless it is part of a book/course/etc title!)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: URGENT ATTENTION BOSS: WOULD YOU PLS COMMENT ON 'MY MOTIVATION LETTER'</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/UrgentAttentionBossWouldMotivation-Letter/zlcvn/post.htm#472307</link><pubDate>Mon, 04 Feb 2008 03:40:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:472307</guid><dc:creator>Mars4sweden</dc:creator><description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Thankyou very much &lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff1493" color=#ffffff&gt;Mister Micawber&lt;/FONT&gt;! The revised letter is as following after your suggested changes. and few&amp;nbsp;additions from myside. I applied for three diffenent Master programs. International Marketing, Leadership Management and Entrepreneurship &amp;amp; Innovation.&amp;nbsp;Some Paras need to be customised seperately for each program........&amp;nbsp;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;I am waiting for your last OK signal!&amp;nbsp;to pass ot on.... &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;February 2, 2008&amp;nbsp;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strike&gt;I am confident that the programme corresponds well with my plans of
becoming a specialist in marketing field. It is my dream and desire to
be admitted in *** and pursue my *** studies in the field of Marketing.&lt;/strike&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;My educational background is&lt;b&gt; in the&lt;/b&gt; principles&lt;b&gt; and&lt;/b&gt;
practices of &lt;strike&gt;the&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;b&gt;m&lt;/b&gt;arketing &lt;strike&gt;field&lt;/strike&gt;. I &lt;strike&gt;have successfully&lt;/strike&gt; completed a &lt;b&gt;three-year&lt;/b&gt; BBA (&lt;b&gt;Hons&lt;/b&gt;)-IT program in 2004. My studies have guided me
through systematic researching, analytical thinking, &lt;b&gt;m&lt;/b&gt;anagement of
resources and information evaluation. I continued my studies &lt;b&gt;and&lt;/b&gt;
completed an MBA with specialization in marketing &lt;strike&gt;field&lt;/strike&gt; in December 2005.&amp;nbsp; Marketing Management, Advertising, Sales Management, Services
Marketing, Business Strategy and Leadership were among my favourite
subjects &lt;b&gt;of the MBA program&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strike&gt;I love to play computer strategic games, Chess game I mostly play
with my compute which I never won, Graphics, Animations, Web Designing,
Reading something interesting online, cooking, outing, meeting just
everyone in a group and selecting good people as my close friends are
my hobbies. I feel no shame in meeting new people, talking them, and
playing jokes.&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After my studies&lt;b&gt;,&lt;/b&gt; I &lt;b&gt;plan&lt;/b&gt; to start my career &lt;b&gt;at&lt;/b&gt; an international level, In June 2006&lt;b&gt;, &lt;/b&gt;I was &lt;b&gt;employed&lt;/b&gt; as an Operations Supervisor &lt;b&gt;for &lt;/b&gt;a &lt;b&gt;large retailing firm &lt;/b&gt;in Saudi Arabia.&amp;nbsp; This was&lt;b&gt; a valuable
experience&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;in supermarket management,&lt;/b&gt; with thousands of &lt;b&gt;products and&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;stiff &lt;/b&gt;competition&lt;strike&gt; among different brands and huge variety of
products&lt;/strike&gt;.&lt;strike&gt; Such an experience I was unable to get in my country.&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;During this contract, I have been a&lt;/b&gt;nalysing&lt;b&gt; the&lt;/b&gt; top&lt;b&gt; five&lt;/b&gt; brands of&lt;b&gt; various &lt;/b&gt;product
&lt;b&gt;categories&lt;/b&gt;. For &lt;b&gt;example&lt;/b&gt;, in the &lt;b&gt;'fresh milk &amp;amp; juices'&lt;/b&gt; category in Saudi
Arabia, the key brands are &lt;b&gt;Almarai, Nadec, Nada, and Safi.&lt;/b&gt; I &lt;b&gt;have compiled&lt;/b&gt;
weekly/monthly&lt;b&gt; sales figures&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;attempted to determine&lt;/b&gt; why &lt;b&gt;Almarai&lt;/b&gt;
is &lt;b&gt;the top seller&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;b&gt;It appears that Alamarai&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;management focuses&lt;/b&gt; on high
quality &lt;b&gt;product, packaging design,&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;promotion&lt;/b&gt; (&lt;b&gt;renting 60% of the category shelf space&lt;/b&gt;), &lt;b&gt;advertising&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;efficient daily delivery&lt;/b&gt;, and &lt;b&gt;a&lt;/b&gt; huge network of
branches &lt;b&gt;throughout Saudi Arabia&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;p&gt;My &lt;b&gt;two-year&lt;/b&gt; contract &lt;strike&gt;of two years is going to&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;b&gt;will soon&lt;/b&gt; expire and I &lt;b&gt;have now&lt;/b&gt; &lt;strike&gt;already&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;b&gt;been&lt;/b&gt; offered
a Store Manager position&lt;strike&gt; for next contract&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;b&gt;, but&lt;/b&gt; I &lt;b&gt;have a&lt;/b&gt; strong &lt;b&gt;ambition&lt;/b&gt; &lt;strike&gt;in myself to further study&lt;/strike&gt; to become a marketing
specialist&lt;b&gt;, and&lt;/b&gt; I cannot &lt;b&gt;become&lt;/b&gt; a specialist without having &lt;b&gt;a full understanding
&lt;/b&gt;of a specific &lt;b&gt;marketing &lt;/b&gt;field&lt;strike&gt; in Marketing&lt;/strike&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strike&gt;Education from *** is affordable for me as compared to other ***
countries. *** is a good safer place for other nations. *** is in
between the best universities in *** and secondly ***University has a
course offer (***) which relates to my goals. Thatâs why it is number
one in my selection criteria.&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Obtaining a one-year&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;master's degree&lt;/b&gt; from *** means becoming a &lt;b&gt;specialist&lt;/b&gt; (or a
step towards it).&lt;strike&gt; I can put a high price for my services. I will
achieve my first objective of â&lt;u&gt;Financial Growth&lt;/u&gt;â I will be
differentiated from my competitors by having Masters from ***
University.&lt;/strike&gt; I &lt;b&gt;have&lt;/b&gt; already met&lt;b&gt; people from many nations&lt;/b&gt; in Saudi Arabia&lt;b&gt;,&lt;/b&gt; and I will further
learn &lt;b&gt;from others&lt;/b&gt; while living in a new culture. I will make new friends from
Europe, will learn their life style,&lt;b&gt; achieving&lt;/b&gt; my &lt;strike&gt;second&lt;/strike&gt; objective of p&lt;b&gt;ersonal growth, and when&lt;/b&gt; I &lt;strike&gt;will&lt;/strike&gt; complete &lt;b&gt;my&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;master's&lt;/b&gt; degree I will &lt;strike&gt;already&lt;/strike&gt; achieve my&lt;strike&gt; third&lt;/strike&gt; objective of &lt;b&gt;professional growth&lt;/b&gt;.&amp;nbsp; The &lt;b&gt;programme&lt;/b&gt; will equip me with the necessary skills to continue to
acquire new knowledge and understanding throughout my entire working

&lt;P&gt;Director of the Program &lt;BR&gt;Department of ABC &lt;BR&gt;University of ABC &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;February 2, 2008 &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I am writing to apply for the Masterâs Programme in &amp;nbsp;***. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I am confident that the programme corresponds well with my plans of becoming a specialist in marketing field. It is my dream and desire to be admitted in *** and pursue my *** studies in the field of Marketing. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My educational background is well versed with principles &amp;amp; practices of the Marketing field. I have successfully completed a 3 years &lt;U&gt;BBA (HONS)-IT&lt;/U&gt; program in 2004. My studies have guided me through systematic researching, analytical thinking, Management of resources and information evaluation. I continued my studies &amp;amp; completed an &lt;U&gt;MBA&lt;/U&gt; with specialization in marketing field in December 2005.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Marketing Management, Advertising, Sales Management, Services Marketing, Business Strategy and Leadership were among my favourite subjects in MBA.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I love to play computer strategic games, Chess game I mostly play with my compute which I never won, Graphics, Animations, Web Designing, Reading something interesting online, cooking, outing, meeting just everyone in a group and selecting good people as my close friends are my hobbies. I feel no shame in meeting new people, talking them, and playing jokes. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;After my studies I planned to start my career from an international level, In June 2006 I was appointed as an &lt;U&gt;Operations Supervisor&lt;/U&gt; in a Multibillionaire Retailing Firm in Saudi Arabia. Itâs a fruitful experience of a Supermarket Management with thousands of brands, toughest competition among different brands and huge variety of products. Such an experience I was unable to get in my country. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My contract of two years is going to expire and I am already offered a Store Manager position for next contract. But I realize the strong inspiration in myself to further study to become a marketing specialist. I cannot be a specialist without having perfect knowledge of a specific field in Marketing.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;While In store I keep on Analysing top 5 brands of a product category. For Example in Fresh Milk &amp;amp; Juices category in Saudi Arabia the key brands are ALMARAI, NADEC, NADA, SAFI. I make weekly/monthly analysis on sales figure and try to find out why ALMARAI is number 1. The answer is ALMARAI BRAND Manager Focuses on high quality product (Core product taste, freshness, design to packing), Promotions (60% shelf space rented of all fresh section, Advertising), Placing/delivering daily by proper Vehicles and huge network of branches in whole Saudia.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Education from *** is affordable for me as compared to other *** countries. *** is a good safer place for other nations. *** is in between the best universities in *** and secondly ***University has a course offer (***) which relates to my goals. Thatâs why it is number one in my selection criteria.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Getting one year Masters from ***means becoming a Specialist (or a step towards it). I can put a high price for my services. I will achieve my first objective of â&lt;U&gt;Financial Growth&lt;/U&gt;â I will be differentiated from my competitors by having Masters from *** University. I already met many Nations in Saudi Arabia and will further learn while living in a new culture. I will make new friends from Europe, will learn their life style it will achieve my second objective â&lt;U&gt;Personal Growth&lt;/U&gt;â. When I will complete the Masters degree I will already achieve my third objective of â&lt;U&gt;Professional Growth&lt;/U&gt;â. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The study will equip me with the necessary skills to continue to acquire new knowledge and understanding throughout my entire working life. I believe that the combination of my past experiences and academic knowledge will qualify me as an University of *** student candidate.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
