The Great Recession was the most serious economic downturn in U.S. history since the Great Depression. The recession began in December 2007. Interest rates at the time were very low, close to zero. Despite the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, a nearly $800 billion fiscal stimulus and an expansionary monetary policy, the economy is only now getting back to normal in 2015. In retrospect, what set of macro policies, if anything, should we have conducted to achieve a better recovery? Explain your reasoning. Be sure to address the arguments favoring active versus passive policymaking as they relate to your discussion. Where appropriate, cite examples from your text or other readings.

What is a Media Pitch?
A media pitch or a pitch is what we refer to as the
email you send out to a journalist, editors, or an influencer when
pitching your client or brand to secure press interest. It’s also a
critical part of the marketing and PR process that involves
creative thinking and writing!
The pitch is similar to an elevator pitch in length,
but the message of the pitch is altered from general to more
specific to the journalist or influencer’s interests.
Nailing your pitch is the best way to ensure PR
campaign success that yields impressive results for your
clients.
THESE SUCCESSFUL MEDIA PLACEMENTS NOT ONLY INCREASE BRAND AWARENESS, BUT ALSO HELP TO BUILD A POSITIVE REPUTATION FOR YOUR BRAND.
While we can all agree on the importance of media
relations, sometimes securing a media coverage placement isn’t as
easy as it sounds. With editor inboxes being flooded with a barrage
of email pitches, you need to figure out how to get their attention
quickly and effectively get your point across.
This means media pitches require personalized outreach
and research beforehand in order to understand what a journalist or
influencer cares about, writes on, and how you can help contribute
to their beat.
Remember: great media pitches play on the idea of
reciprocity. By covering your brand or including you in a story,
the journalist is doing you a favor and helping to drive increased
awareness for you (for free).
Reciprocity here indicates that you owe that
journalist or influencer. In order to even the playing field here,
it is best that your pitch or product helps to advance the
journalist or influencer’s own goals.
Those could be:
Increasing page views and personal brand visibility
through breaking news
Contributing to the person’s expertise on a particular
topic
Earning the person accolades for their ability to find
and source the best of the best stories, products, and
goods.
Required: Choose a company that is using two
social media platforms, and develop a list of effective and
ineffective uses of the two Social Media platforms. Provide your
rationale. Make sure your response is at least 1-2 pages.
