Apirl 14, 2010 Spring semester was another great season for Studio One. Our teams worked very hard to create a

quality show and a strong marketing campaign. Once again, I am very proud of our students.

Our reporters and producers created exceptional content this semester. All of our shows included

strong interviews, outstanding packages, great photography and detailed weather reports. Strong

content does not happen by accident. It is the result of hard work, meeting deadlines,

investigating every aspect of a story and remaining positive when challenges arise. Bravo to

everyone who produced strong content this season!

The production crew made each show look very professional. Camera angles were creative,

sound was mixed well and when challenges came up, the crew handled them with skill and

professionalism. It was especially fun to see viewer questions integrated into interviews. Live

interviews included questions submitted through the Studio One Facebook page. Bravo to the

production crew!

Promoting and marketing Studio One is an important part of this project. Our marketing team

developed some very creative ways to promote the show. Studio One interns were “regulars” on

XL 93 radio, a successful open house helped recruit candidates for fall semester, and many

booths and events gave students a chance to learn more about our project. This season’s

marketing team developed new and innovative ways of promoting and recruiting. It resulted in a

a successful pool of applicants for fall. Bravo to the marketing team!

To those who are graduating, you now become a member of our alumni family. Remember our

four themes: “Quality, Teamwork Professionalism and Communication.” I hope you keep in

touch. You will be missed!

Sincerely,

Barry S. Brode Director of Television

Niccum will be on Studio On to talk about his job as a deep sea fishing guide in Alaska.

"It definitely boosts your confidence a little bit, it's really empowering, especially for first time members of the club who haven't shot before. The first-time they hit the target, you can see their faces light up, and that's really fun," explains Stroh. As part of her university's Females for Firearms club, her goal is to get more women out on the firing range. Hear more about this confidence-boosting hobby on the next edition of Studio One.

survey sent out to all 40 students. The marketing team wanted to know specially what

encouraged applicants to apply for an internship the following in the results.

The marketing team sent out a survey right after the recruitment deadline to get feedback

on events and promotions throughout the semester. There were 23 responses out of the

40 surveys sent to Season 45 students. The marketing team worked to evaluate how their

goals at the beginning of the semester were accomplished through the planned strategies.

Goals, or specific numbers of events and promos determined at the beginning of the

semester are labeled in blue, strategies or the means of reaching these goals planed at the

beginning of the semester are in orange. The marketing also worked to accomplish four

main types of objectives. There are four main categories of events including internal

events, public awareness, recruitment and audience development.


Type of event Internal What was planned

Goal: 1 Bowling Party event Strategy: The marketing team planned a bowling party after the dress rehearsal to start building team camaraderie right away in the semester.

What happened We had to reschedule because we tried to plan the event so close to the start of semester. So the team rescheduled the event.

Results The graph highlights how interns felt about the success of the blowing event. (1) is poor, (5) excellent. Interns that didn’t attend chose N/A.

Additional Comments: - Many people couldn’t come - About 15 people came to the event which was more than last

semester - It was an easy-going environment that allowed people from

different teams to meet each other and mingle - Good place to meet and bond outside the studio

Next year - Have prizes and food - Encourage all team participation - Maybe have the marketing student leader give a talk about

student involvement opportunities and how important that is for team cohesiveness

- Make something useful (like a bookmark) with event dates on it so interns can plan further in advance


Type of event Internal What was planned:

Goal: 1 Studio One Picnic and 1 End of Season Party Strategy: Picnic would be when weather got warmer so to keep people excited to get together. The end of season party would be planned after the last show.

What happened: Because college students have a limited budget, the marketing team decided to combine both events and have a End of Season Party Picnic.

Results: The weather was poor so the event was head upstairs in Rm. 211. Jordan Simon brought a large grill to cook brats/hotdogs and food items were assigned two weeks before event (so people didn’t double up on food items). The picnic saved nearly 15 dollars per person, turnout was successful and interns had a chance to mingle and play games.

Next year: Always plan for a back-up meeting place. The picnic was originally scheduled for Lincoln park but it rained all day –the event was held in a last minute location.

Type of event Internal What was planned:

Goal: Have 3 internal marketing mentor days Strategy: Coordinate marketing professionals to come to marketing team meeting after recruitment deadline to engage students and give them some insight into the marketing/public relations industry.

What happened: (2) internal mentor day were planned Results: Studio One Alumni and Executive Director for Vessel Christian

Foundation Michelle Waters spoke about PR. Protech Vice President, Marketing Janet Lampert and Michelle Spizer,

Next year:

Type of event Public Awareness What was planned:

Goal: (1) Community Service - Big Event Strategy: Use this event as a way for teams to mingle while helping out in the community.

What happened: Most of the marketing team was able to make the event but only one person from the programming team came to the event.

Next year: Try to have team leaders stress the importance of volunteer and work and how events, like The Big Event are good resume builders.


Type of event Public Awareness What was planned

Goals: put 1000 Studio One stickers on coffee sleeves Strategy: this event was planned the semester before to ensure to get a slot for coffee sleeves

What happened What we did: had stickers on sleeves for a week before recruitment. We need to coordinate this early because this opportunity is filled up quickly – Hope Anderson was the contact – she needs to be contacted early.

Results Someone from another organization called about trying to do this same idea because they liked it

Next year - Maybe to get this for two weeks - It is a cost effective promotion and can be a good reminder to

potential applicants - Visible promotion because students take their coffee with them

across campus


Goals: Two weeks of table tents in all UND dining centers Strategy: Create creative promotions so students will want to read them. Promote internship on one side and promote attending a show on the other.

What happened 6 days of table tents in dining halls Results - Courtney & Bethany were harassed slightly by students when

they went to pick them up - Climbed over peoples food to get the table tents

Next year Avoid picking up table tents during supper


Goal: Design (2) Dakota Student Ads Strategy: Create a simple but effective advertisement that looked good in black and white.

What happened 2 ads on March 2 and March 9 Results Survey feedback:

- Current interns do not read ads in the Dakota Students - Amazing job! - Nomination letters are more effective, students aren’t really

compelled to apply from a DS ad. Next year Take out one ad because they were so expensive. Try to request an

ad over the Sudoku puzzle. Maybe allocate funds toward a facebook ad



Goal: Night Life Event Strategy: Create a fun and bright design, invite dorms This Nightlife event was coordinated with the help of Backspin productions. They brought in Rock Band equipment. This event will be a fun and constructive way to promote Studio One to freshman-sophomores on campus.

What happened The team created an 80’s style posters that were hung in the dorms. Flyers were also given to all interns and current interns were encouraged to invite their nominees.

Results - Get promos out to more people if possible and try to have more time before the events/recruitment deadline

- Make more versions and produce a higher quantity of posters - The promotions are good, but most people don't even look at

posters anymore, and if they do they are a lot less memorable. They are good to get the thought in the back of their minds though.

- Make something to put on the canvas stands in the union I feel like I don't see any promotional info about Studio One. I actually found out what it was through my roommate.

- I would say put up more posters, especially near nightlife poster (I always read those).

Next year - Do not host event on the hockey weekend - Schedule the event right away so prime spots are available - Although this event has not been a success, it is free - be more proactive at getting people to the event once they are

there - Move table outside the Loading Dock with food - Move to the crowd and check to see if there are people hanging

out in areas of the union


Goals: create an apply now poster to hang the week of the application deadline Strategy: Have the marketing team develop promotion early in the semester

What happened Posters were developed from the table tent design. Results Several applicants were aware of the internship through posters. Next year Budget for 120 posters for the dorms instead of only 20



Goals: make at least 3 interactions with nominees Strategy: #1 – Nominee letter, #2 – phone call in invite to show, #3 – follow up phone call to see in potential applicant has any questions

What happened - The TV Center sent letters to all nominees - The marketing team followed up with a phone call to see if potential

intern had any questions about internship opportunities Results Some people were called multiple times with the same information Next year - Keep a record about what was talked about on nomination card so

you can have an engaging follow-up - Keep all nominee information in a folder with a information card

with date and space to write what nominee talked about - Make sure the call is personal and you can read your audience


Studio One Open House At this event, faculty at the UND campus and communication students will be invited to tour the facility between 3-5pm on March 2, 2010 Current inters will be encouraged to bring their nominee to check out the studio during school hours This will be a low pressure event where if a student is strapped for time they may be more inclined to come to the studio if they can stay for 20 minutes instead of an hour and a half

What happened We planned a Monday and Tuesday event so more people could come depending on their class schedule

Results We had several people attend the event. No faculty attended the event. Next year This event could have been marketed better. Inform people at the

booths about event and hand out 1/4th sheet flyer. Mention it in classroom presentations. Make sure tour is different than the show-day tour. Have more students help with explaining equipment so we can actually see what happens in the Studio. Try to make the event personal. Try to send out a survey to people that are interested to see what types of positions they are interested in. Plan that people may come early – the food choices should be able to be out on a counter top for a while and easy to have on hand.



Goal: increase social media interaction Strategy: have contests on the Studio One facebook page

What happened Developed facebook comments section into the live show Results - Twitter is pretty much a flop

- Developed a youtube channel -

Next year - Develop a contest to see what fans has the most interesting summer story could be a guest on the program.

- Make sure people tag themselves in promo videos - Try to have the marketing team invite friends to “like” the page


Goal: Have the Memorial Union display case for 2 weeks before recruitment Strategy: develop interesting props that would increase viewers knowledge of the products that Studio One has to offer

What happened Interesting props were not generated Next year Improve display case items include some larger posters or replicas of

awards of make fake studio equipment to draw attention and capture what s1 is all about :) Find the small camera


Goal: Present to 35 classes, have marketing team members present to at least two classes Strategy: try to get into lower level classes with larger class sizes to generate more applicants

What happened Attended: Comm 200 (2 sections) Comm 352 Com 103 (3 sections) Comm 212 (8 sections) Comm 354 Mrkt 201 Comm 303 Com 102 Mrkt 311 Thea 110 Thea 161 (2 sections) Engl 225 Engl 110 (2 sections) Engl 226 (2 sections) Tech 422 Scoc 110 Aero 210 (3 sections) Badm 101 (3 sections) Total: 35

Results 17 students applied because of a classroom presentation Next year Survey feedback:

- Include the recruitment video in the email announcements. And send it to nominees and people who sign up in classrooms

- I think this is the most effective way to advertise our internships. - Although a lot of people don't sign up right away, when they see us

during the semester(s) they need an internship they will be


reminded about us. - Keep presentations engaging. - A lot of good information to get people excited and enthusiastic

about joining Studio One. - It’s convenient to have a captive audience but maintain enthusiasm

to keep audience engaged. - Continue to attend large classes filled with lower level students. - Variety in classroom presentations are effective (video/calling on

Studio One-ers/enthusiasm)


Goal: Develop 1 new different promotional item Strategy: Chip Clips were selected

What happened 300 chip clips were purchased under price allotment Results All were given away at booths and at live shows Next year - This was something that most people seemed to need and use

- Since everyone hands out pens it was nice to have something different


Goal: Order at least 200 pens Strategy: Too low of quality of pens are frustrating and can give people a bad impression of the program

What happened 300 pens were ordered under cost allotment Results All were given away within several weeks Next year - Order more than 300 pens and give some pens to local businesses

- plan to sponsor the SCOMM spring banquet (150 pens for this event)


Goal: 1 weekly press releases Strategy: Press releases will be sent to all markets

What happened - Some reports scripts were not in by the deadline which limited topics to promote.

- Releases were written/sent out on time Results - The press releases from this year were entered into a contest and

would of placed if there were documents indicating that the press releases were published/reprinted.

Next year Diversify from the standard format



Goal: 7 booths on campus Strategy: Go to different areas on campus and have fun promotional items or hand out some kind of food item

What happened 7 booths were set up, promo items were distributed, root beer floats were made and we occasionally used the prize wheel to engage students

Results - most communication classes are not held in O’Kelly due to classroom changes

- many communication classes are now held in Merrifield - Root beer float handouts were a generally a huge success especially

in the afternoons at Merrifield Next year Survey results:

Gamble 15 - 68% Okelly 4 - 18% Merrifield 6 - 27% Memorial Union 21 - 95% Other 3 14%


Goal: Have 4 radio days Strategy: marketing team will help host the Countdown at 9 on XL93 a way to help generate recognition for the show and internship this event is fun and encourages other teams to get involved with the marketing team

What happened The team was invited to come every week. There is a lot of team participation between the teams.

Results - The radio events were fun and we have gotten a lot of feedback from people in the community

- Some interns at the end needed more training on what to talk about since we were past the recruitment deadline

- Have the students marketing director take notes of show content and help the next radio team prepare to pitch upcoming story content

Next year - Continue to invite people on other teams to come on the radio - Give a Studio One promo items to XL93 so when the countdown

caller comes to get their prize they will also get an S1 pizza cutter or chip clips

- Spend more time training team



Goal: 4 T-Shirt days Strategy: shirts will be ordered early and will the will help gain awareness for the internship/ show on campus the marketing team will encourage all the interns and staff to wear their S1 t-shirts on a least four separate occasions throughout the season

What happened We got the shirts in super early but still people didn’t really seem to want to wear them.

Results Shirts were jr. sizes Next year Get one of every size sample so that people know what size they would

like and actually wear. The cut/style are fine and look regular shirt instead of a cheap one. Let them pick long vs. short sleeve.


Goal: Expand markets Strategy: the marketing team will all research CAT across the US to see if Studio One can get into new markets

What happened Team researched new markets and filled out summaries of potential leads and dead-ends

Results Two strong new market leads Next year Continue to research markets

- work with teachers early in the year to bring their class for extra credit

Other Recommendations: Look at ways to advertise the program with other channels Try to put an advertisement during the hockey games 15 sec. ad at Rivers Cinema Gamble Advertisements More MU TV ads Budget for more printing costs – good for building awareness for the program Put the S1 Schedule in the Minot’s school paper/slides on KSMU/calendar on school’s Web site. Try to get involved with the “Welcome Weekend” event. Look into temporary tattoos. Have a contest to see how many nominees someone can generate – for a prize (like a water bottle)
