Respected team,

The purpose of this email is to invite all to a meeting where the advertising agency will present and evaluate the promotional campaign works for the Diploma of Leadership and Management program.

We aim to obtain comments and data from you, the attendees, during this meeting so that we may talk about any necessary modifications or changes and also get your approval.

This meeting is being happened in the meeting room on Saturday, 10/04/2022 on 11:00 AM

Prepare for the meeting

Reflect on the meeting requirements and prepare for the meeting, the negotiation and the presentation.

Assume the following:

The implementation of your proposal for the promotional message and the website would be 10% over budget. The CFO does not want to run any project over budget.
The CFO is detailed oriented; he likes facts and data; he is efficient and to the point. He is not a risk-taker.
The Academic Manager is not assertive but responsive; she values the quality of the courses. She is a low-risk taker and compliance-driven. She can be over-sensitive, emotional and sometimes dramatic.
The CEO is a risk-taker, decisive and determined. She is strong-minded. She can be impatient, inflexible, and a poor listener.
The CEO would be happy to spend additional money on your proposal, but she knows that the board would not accept a higher budget.
The CEO wants an engaging and professionally structured presentation.

When conducting the meeting, please note that your classmates will play their roles based on the scenario described above.

Dear Ms. Deborah Red

This email is to notify you of the findings of the roundtable discussion, as well as the techniques we will use to anticipate and respond to your input.

We are happy to report that all of the responses have been favourable, and the overseas students have expressed their gratitude.

All of the children were captivated and included in storyboard as a result of our tone and advertising message. This excellent outcome would have not been possible with out ideas received from consumers and the marketing firm. We are pleased with our accomplishments and effort.

We eagerly await your useful suggestions and input on this matter.

Regards
