The Celebrity Apprentice – Season 9 Episode 2
Airdate: March 21, 2010

The stars must build a storefront to relaunch Kodak’s “Kodak Moments” ad campaign. Yet these aren’t picture-perfect moments: A celebrity illness, a power outage and one difficult contestant all conspire to jeopardize the challenge.

The Apprentice is the ultimate job interview, where sixteen Americans (eighteen in seasons two through six, fourteen in season seven) compete in a series of rigorous business tasks, many of which include prominent Fortune 500 companies and require street smarts and intelligence to conquer, in order More to show Donald Trump, the boss, that they are the best candidate for his companies. In each episode, the losing team is sent to the boardroom, where Trump and his associates, Carolyn Kepcher and George Ross, and later, his children, Donald Trump, Jr., and Ivanka Trump, judge the job applicants on their performance in the task. One person is fired and sent home. Who will succeed? Who will fail? And who will be The Apprentice?

I have a project that I have to come up with a creative advertisment to sell myself. I am a marketing major and I do outside sales for a living. An example of an advertisment was a picture of a scrabble board with all of someones business characterisitcs and then it said underneath the board one decesion can determine the output of the game. So something like that Thank you!

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is spending lots of money running ads that look like drug company ads. Anyone have a logical explanation of why this is going on. Why they are spending all this money instead of spending on community needs, helping the poor and many other socially correct reasons. Yes, it is recruiting, that much I can see.

They look like drug company ads because they are selling similar things – the promise of something that will make your life better.

The difference is that the drugs have a testable effect, religion does not.

It is their money, they can spend it how they like. Many charities advertise to increase awareness of issues. Again the difference is that the starving children in Africa are demonstrably real.

You know, I usually just ignore these ads, maybe I should listen carefully and see if they make any claims that are unverifiable. The drug companies have to list all the side effects that might happen. It would be interesting to see if we can force the religious ads to limit themselves to what is demonstrable and list any adverse effects people have had.

And how can you make sure they do not take the idea if they like it?

To be honest, I don’t work in the ad campaign industry. I create software applications like http://tgethr.com. But we have a very similar need sometimes to communicate with folks about an idea who may have never heard of us before.

Number one. Companies usually enjoy hearing from their customers. So in this case, are you a customer of this company? If you are then it becomes much easier to craft an email to someone at the company about how you are a customer and what their product or service has helped you do.

Then you can share an idea you have about helping them sell more of that product. If your not currently a customer, then yes, your pitch becomes a bit more like 100s of other pitches companies get for services from complete strangers. But if your not a customer, maybe your pitch could be retooled to work for a company you are a customer of.

After all, you’ve invested in these companies with money time and attention and want them to succeed. You have a relationship with them. And many of these companies want to see their customers continue to succeed so they can remain customers. It’s pretty easy to find someone’s contact information on the web. Perhaps they blog or use twitter. Or find them on linkedin and use an InMail.

As for sharing ideas. I wouldn’t worry that much. People are obsessed about having ideas stolen, and that obsession hurts them because they don’t share the idea early enough with people who’d actually be making a purchase decision or investment of an implementation of that idea.

Paul Graham has a great article about "ideas" and more specifically startup ideas that you might feel is a strong parallel. He says:

"The fact that there’s no market for startup ideas suggests there’s no demand. Which means, in the narrow sense of the word, that startup ideas are worthless."

And finally. Are you a creative person? Is their part of the ad campaign that you’ve actually implemented in some form. People are pretty poor judges of ideas when they are just words. If you have your ideas in some kind of visual form, I think your odds go up insanely that someone can get the gist of what your trying to convey.

I have to do an assignment for government about the cost of attracting more youth voters to the polls. How much would an ad campaign and a tour of major cities w/ guest speakers cost in dollars?

What are the specific goals? Who would fund this? What limitations or restrictions may apply?

Would you pay guest speakers? Would you need to promote the event in certain ways in order to attract guest speakers? What advertising media will you consider? Would you pay for transportation for people to travel to your events? Would you pay for local staff in each location to handle logistics? Would you need to pay for security or extra police for each event? Would you need special permits? How would campaign-finance laws restrict your efforts? Could you exclude "wackos" from participating (for example, if you invite local candidates to speak, can you exclude a "fringe" candidate?).

The short answer: it would cost between $50,000 and $50 million.
