University with a first class honors, then why Public Relations?

A. The three years I spent studying Political Science Honors at the Lady Shri Ram College

in New Delhi were invaluable and created for me, a strong base upon which I could build

any career of my choice. My interest in Public Relations came as a matter of chance when I

initiated the youth chapter of an Indian charitable organisation, the Heart Care Foundation of

India. It was while I spent most of my time actively promoting the charity, engaging young

people, interacting with the media and organizing events and publicity stunts; that I discovered

my passion for public relations.

Loomba and Mr Vijay Dutt. My thesis was awarded a distinction by my university and has

been recommended for an award.

A. Well, my focus right now remains to find a job and step into the actual working world of

Public Relations. I feel that my biggest USP, as a candidate is that I bring to the table what

the company’s core value demands; a person who is willing to learn and develop continuously

by taking initiative, being dedicated and having a passion for my work. My varied work

experiences and my master’s degree have helped inculcate in me a symbiotic mix of the

theoretical and working knowledge required as a stepping-stone for a successful PR career.

So I have my fingers crossed!

Q. Seriousness aside, why don’t you tell our readers what you like doing in your spare time?

Executive Summary (Integrated Marketing Proposal for Expansion of Pinkberry to the UK) Pinkberry is an iconic frozen yogurt brand in the US. The company’s success has been replicated in the Middle East and Mexico, making it a global brand. Our proposal is to expand Pinkberry further by penetrating the UK market.

Our analysis shows that the UK would be an ideal environment, as there is no major frozen yogurt brand already present. Competition is weak, with independent stores and locations concentrated in London. Although the economy is in recovery, spending habits on leisure activities and eating out still remain high. The government is currently encouraging the growth of businesses in order to pull back the economy to its entirety thus making the UK an apt market to exploit.

We believe that for the success of our brand, it is imperative to adopt the pathway of the adaptation within standardization model of marketing. Creating a globally recognized brand remains one of our main missions and we aim to achieve this by maintaining a uniformity in terms of store and website design, product standards, franchise policies, brand positioning and company values in all stores across the world. However, we do not deny the existence of differences in cultures, values and attitudes amongst nations and wish to adapt to the UK culture, in order to domesticate our brand thereby creating a feeling of belongingness amongst the people.

Our new logo for the United Kingdom, embossed with the British crown will imbibe the essence of the British culture. Our seasonal flavors will reflect the demands of the population and our raw materials will be sourced from local British sources.

Our promotional strategies will be a perfect blend of advertising, public relations and digital marketing. The ‘Pinkberries’, an entourage of six Pinkberry girls that ride on pink Vespas will be our brand mascots, who will be seen touring around the country creating brand presence. The pink Vespas will be our primary mode of transport for all activities from delivery to promotion.

We will have two primary ad campaigns, which will be aired on national television in 30-second slots. We will also flavour of the week campaigns, a Pinkberry iPhone application, Pinkberry groupie cards, scratch the berry contests giving out discount incentives to people and two for one Pinkberry days where people can double their pleasure at the price of one.

For our guerrilla-marketing stunt we will use Trafalgar square as our destination on a perfect Sunday afternoon and a giant Pinkberry cup shaped slide as our tool to reach the masses.

As a part of our public relations strategy we will tie up with Weight Watchers in order to emphasize on the low fat characteristic of our product. We will make optimum use of all special occasions such as Valentines Day where we will provide specially customized Pinkberry flower bouquets to increase our brand awareness.

We will fully utilise all channels of digital media such as Twitter, Facebook, Blogs and a user-friendly website making Pinkberry an easily accessible brand.

Our CSR strategies will include making October the month of Breast Cancer support, promoting the importance of a healthy and balanced diet in schools through our brand ambassador Jamie Oliver and conducting a Pinkberry marathon in order to raise money for the patients suffering from the Coeliac disease.

We plan to launch Pinkberry in the 2012 fiscal year and using the strategies mentioned above, we expect to gain a significant market share and increased brand awareness.

Press Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 22nd 2011- London, United Kingdom

ROCK ENERGY’S INVESTMENT IN SHALE AND COAL BED EXTRACTION IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

Rock Energy, the UK’s leading developer of natural gas, has announced plans to explore 11 shale and coal bed methane reserves located around the country.

The shale and coal bed methane reserves Rock Energy has identified in the UK remain to be in the exploratory stages. The reserve in question is located in Lancashire, Northern England. There are 11 other shale and coal bed methane reserves that have been identified throughout the UK; Rock Energy is currently in the permit and licensing stages to begin exploration.”

Ashley Krupnik, CEO of Rock Energy, spoke for the current operations: “Just over a decade of experience and knowledge allows us to implement industry-leading processes, procedures and controls throughout all projects acquired.”

Natural gas is an essential player in the future of energy. With the use of highly advanced technological breakthrough, namely the combination of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, unreachable natural gas reserves can now be accessed.

Ania Markowska, Environmental Expert for Rock Energy, says: “Despite the promise of alternative energy sources - called renewable energy, they currently provide only about seven percent of the world’s energy needs. Thus, instead of just focusing on renewables, an option including a blend of less polluting fossil fuels and renewables is the best solution for now. If the permit and licensing stages to begin exploration succeed, the hydraulic fracturing process will be used to extract the gas.”

Hydraulic fracturing is a stimulation process used to maximize the extraction of underground resources – oil, natural gas and geothermal energy. Being an essential process for the production of natural gas from shale formation, the gas and oil industry since the 1940’s

Ania Markowska said, “Fracking is a proven technological advancement which allows to safely recover natural gas from deep shale formations. Properly conducted modern hydraulic fracturing is a safe, sophisticated, highly engineered and controlled procedure.”

Rock Energy prides itself on transparency. Rock Energy uses a minimum amount of chemicals in the fracking fluid that are well within the European regulations as well as exercising caution and the utmost care when constructing wells and drilling near aquifers.

Notes to Editors

About Yummy Chocolate Company

The Yummy Chocolate Company was founded on the 23rd of October 1985 when its co-founders Hailey Wang, a restaurateur, and Holly Simon, a chef with a fascination for desserts and chocolates, blended past inspirations from their chocolate tasting excursions across the European Union and created the perfect marriage of extraordinary taste palates and a social experience to satisfy the chocoholic residing within each one of us.

The current President of the Yummy Chocolate Company is Karl Karlson who took up his position towards the end of November 2009. Karl has been working with the Yummy Chocolate Company since the past five years and continuously strives to make the Yummy Chocolate Company the equivalent of Coca-Cola in the chocolate market. Karl has a family and two children, a daughter aged 5 and a son aged 3 years old. He is a chocoholic and normally eats one Yummy Chocolate bar every day.

Karl feels that the yummy chocolate bar is his favorite product and the investment in its production is a part of their long-term business strategy to secure reliable and more cost-effective production facilities across the world. He believes that women buy twice as much chocolate as men and hence the chocolate bar is targeted towards women from the age group of 18-35.
