Burger Planet Positioning Paper

TO: Burger Planet Executives
FROM: Fantastic Four Advertising

Mr. Mullenbach and the Burger Planet board,

We are pleased with Burger Planet’s decision to create more healthy options. We feel that this is appropriate because the consumer of our day has become more health conscious.

We have outlined some ideas on how to make consumers more aware of Burger Planet’s commitment toward healthy lifestyles.

First, focus on the new healthy menu options. By focusing on the new healthy menu options, people will begin to realize that fast can still be fast, without the excessive calories and unhealthy lifestyle

Second, use Jayne Petersen’s name to bring awareness to consumers about the recent Burger Planet changes. Jayne Petersen’s outstanding reputation as a health-guru is the perfect promotion for the direction Burger Planet is taking.

Finally, continue in customer satisfaction and provide the same spirit of service. Burger Planet has served 52 billion satisfied customers and with these implementations will continue to do so.

Studies show that since healthy options were introduced at McDonalds in 2003sales have not only remained consistent but also steadily increased, proving that healthy options are desired by the American people.

By following these steps we feel that Burger Planet will continue to be a giant in the fast food industry and serve the American people for many years to come.

Sincerely,

The Fantastic Four Team

Letter to Cousin, Assignment 1

Katie H Seamons

_______________

Dear Laura,

Over the holidays we had a talk about the field of education that I have chosen to pursue. You had some interesting questions about what exactly public relations is and what I will be doing once I enter that field. I’ve decided to write you this letter and give you some specifics about the field.

One of the great things about public relations is that an education in PR opens up several doors and provides many opportunities. PR specialists can work for large corporations or design their own firm to serve their own clients on an individual basis. PR experience can also lead to work in the marketing field and other media relation departments.

While all of these fields can be branches of PR, the basics of PR are the profession of developing good relations between an organization or corporation and the public. This can also include the relations between an individual and the public. The job of a PR professional is generally to help create good feelings between two different bodies and work to make the media understand the situation taking place.

Most often, PR specialists give out information to the public or media in the form of a press release. A press release is often times written as if it is a news story and includes quotes and facts having to do with the topic being discussed. Press releases can be used for anything from informing the public of a new product, or to inform the public of a decision being made with in a corporation or organization. It is also the job of a PR specialist to help smooth sticky situations and voice information in a way that is not offensive or damaging to whom ever they are representing.

These really are just the basics though. Public Relations has several areas that can be included within the PR realm. I’m excited to learn more and I will keep you updated with how my studies go. Let me know if you have any questions and I will do my best to answer.

Best wishes,
Katie H Seamons
