Over the past two seasons, Friday Night Live (FNL), an after-hours weekly social event that showcased the museum in a distinctive and alternative way, had led to a startling amount of success for the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM). However, to ensure the museum’s notability for their efforts, it is necessary for these events to continually progress and transform in order to meet the ROM’s performance objectives for the year of 2015. As the assistant vice-president of programs, events and commercial services at the ROM, Carrie Martin needs to maximize revenues and profits as well as attract a minimum of 3,500 visitors for FNL’s grand opening on October 9, 2015. Since Martin handles the strategic direction of FNL, she should focus on how to sustain …show more content…
They successfully provide their visitors with an entire art experience, but unlike the ROM, they offered discounted prices if purchases were made in advanced. This is a great strategy to ensure people will take the initiative to book so far in advance and make it a priority since they would have to plan it out. While the ROM has the competitive advantage over other competitors of being one of the largest museums in North America, the AGO neutralizes this, being one of North America’s largest art museums. Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada, while being one of the cities newest tourist attractions, also is a direct competitor for the ROM since they as well hold late Friday night events that invites visitors from the age of 6 and older, allowing them to profit more from a larger amount of customers. This is understandable because Ripley’s interior design is built to appeal to children. However, FNL have a competitive advantage over Ripley’s due to the consecutive Friday nights that the ROM will be hosting these events, while the aquarium only hosts once a month. The Ontario Science Centre and the Toronto Entertainment District are both considered indirect competitor since the Science Centre is not located in the same region as the ROM and the Toronto Entertainment District, while is still within …show more content…
The ROM is already quite a touristy location and to have the option for these travelers to do something in the evenings that provides a fun and engaging encounter with history and art will only want them to come back to try it again, possibly with other traveling companions. If this was Martin’s target market, she should focus on the overnight travelers who probably booked a hotel room located in downtown Toronto, near the ROM therefore the event easily accessible. As FNL’s largest customer group, young working professionals are residents of the downtown area and enjoy their Friday nights as an opportunity to attend events such as FNL. Since this is a constantly changing group where people cycle in and out so social FNL would be an entirely new experience for them, proving to be a promising target market. College or university students who are price-sensitive consumers as well as prefer a Friday night in the clubbing district do not have the potential to be a promising target market, as well as older adults. While they are more likely to spend more money per outing, having the responsibility of a family and/or a career would be their main priority resulting to a relaxing, Friday night in to prepare for the work that probably has to be done over the
American Beauty/American Psycho was an album that was sung by the band Fall Out Boy in 2015. Fall Out Boy is an alternative/indie rock band with a little hint of pop in some of their songs. This album, which is the band’s most recent album, is full of a lot of good songs and songs that maybe some people wouldn’t like. Fall Out Boy is a face-paced band, which means their songs are faced-paced. A lot of their songs could be a little hard to understand for people who don’t listen to this kind of music. The album does not have many of these types of songs, which is why it is a favorite among Fall Out Boy fans.
1 It was a cold March night in 1980 in China. There was only Tyler Day, TJ Paul, 2 and Lauren Day at the movie. It was late at night, when Tyler, TJ, and, Lauren were 3 leaving from the movies. They decided to play hide n seek after watching the movie 4 Friday The 13th. The three of them split up, and they all had night vision goggles so 5 they didn't hit any trees. Lauren volunteered as tribute to be it, but that was kinda 6 weird because she is never it first in any game they played with people.
"In The Air Tonight" is a strophic composition produced by Phil Collins. The aria consists of an electronic drum set an electric guitar and a prophet to add an additional fullness to the song. The exposition of the monody is at an adagio tempo. The electronic drum kit repeats a drum pattern with 12 drum hits in each loop, while accenting on every third beat {eg.1-2-1-2-1-2-1-22-1-2 | 11-2-1-2-1-2-1-22-1-2}. In the middle of the first loop the electric guitar roars a triple stopping that drags on for fifteen seconds, and is quickly followed by the sound of a nymph sounding guitar riff in the background accompanied by the prophet. The prophet presents the main melody of the song. A series of warm instruments accompany the drum pattern followed by the sound of Phil Collins's tenor voice reverbed a tad to add an eerieness to the song. He first announces in a slightly whispered, muffled voice:
“Oh my God, they killed Kenny!” South Park is a adult cartoon that circles around the abnormal life of four boys living in Colorado. This hilarious animated television series strives to be the most controversial show on air. The series has been on air since August 13, 1997 and while the show seems ridiculous, it is commonly known for incorporating high and low culture within the show. South Park has been known to take current issues from today’s society and convert them to a more simplified version while transforming it into a satire. One episode that stood out from the rest was an episode called “The Cissy” which focused on gender relations and transgender issues. This episode reflected on how today’s society see gender and transgender.
The Liz Murray’s lecture has far exceeds my expectation. She did a wonderful job with the book, but I think it was even more meaningful being able to listen to the author articulating her own story. Breaking Night and the lecture provide me with lots of valuable insights about life. I knew that poverty was a global epidemic, but I would have never thought that it would affect people in our country to that extent. Originally coming from a relatively undeveloped country myself, I am not too unfamiliar with the concept of poverty. I could not agree more when Liz Murray mentioned how poverty acts like a wall separating people in society. I think poverty in itself affects both the body and the mind. The body is deprived of its basic needs while the mind is
At the end of the show JD says, 'The most important thing is that I
The Last Night of Ballyhoo is an interesting play with many intertwined facets that require understanding of the time period to be fully understood. The acting is entertaining because of the different voice tones of the actors and actresses. The clothing of the actors and the way the stage is set, really makes the audience feel the emotion and passion of each character.
The Tampa Museum of Art was not always the same museum that we see today. It went through multiple stages throughout the years. The works vary, creating a large spectrum from the old to the new. The social angles change with the exhibits in the museum, combining to create the diversity we see today. Visiting this museum in person helped me to appreciate it even more than I would have thought possible. Observing and analyzing the other visitors helped me to understand the museum’s impact on the community more than I would have been able to just by reading about it. This museum is much different from others than I have visited.
In the years following World War II, the “American Dream” had evolved into getting married, buying a house, having children, etc. Out of the evolution of the “American Dream”, came the evolution of the sitcom into a sub-genre that was referred to as the “domestic comedy.” The front runner of this sub-genre, created by Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, was called I Love Lucy and it was a game changer. Not only did it change the genre of sitcom as a whole, but also aesthetically and directionally set the bar for generations and generations of shows to come. I Love Lucy has made its mark in television history and in the hearts of all Americans. After watching many episodes of the record breaking sitcom, I can see why.
2.Growing up I watched a show called "Everybody Hates Chris" I really love this show because it had a significance meaning behind it all. This show presents both social class and social mobility.His social class is being poor. Social mobility is being showed when they modernized their lifestyle by moving out of the projects to live in an all white neighborhood. It was difficult for chris to adapt because he was colored and was treated unfairy. His brother and sister were able to get an education in their old neighborhood while he had to go to a school called Brooklyn beach which was a poor neighborhood on the other side of his town. He's mother felt that him going to a white school will provide him with a better education. He had big responsiblities
There is a pattern of miscommunication in the Who’s on First skit by Abbott and Costello. The premise of the skit is, that Abbott is identifying the players on a baseball team for Costello. Yet, their names or nicknames can be interpreted as non-responsive answers from Abbott by Costello. For example, when Costello asked the question who’s on first. Abbott answers him with the name of the first baseman ‘Who’. Since the ball players have funny names such as Who, Costello becomes frustrated, angry and louder. What makes this skit confusing and yet very funny is the repetition and the play on words. Also, that both men think they are talking about the same thing, but in reality, they are not. Neither man is actually listening to the other.
“Sunday in the Park” by Bel Kaufman, is a short story that illustrates the contrast and conflict of human behavior through a typical family's encounter with a barbaric man. Contrast is emphasized by conflicting pairs of opposing behaviors: civility, rationality, and harmony against barbaric, instinct, and turmoil. The author continuously develops a positive atmosphere, promptly to shatter the image. Through the story, Kaufman implies that humans conflict between their two sides of contrast, either it is the viewer, between characters, or within oneself.
