Mr. Ford: So as I mentioned previously the campaign
advertisement will focus on those key elements that every
consumer looks for in a quality laptop: affordability,
quality, speed and reliability. We have pulled out all the
stops to produce a product that really rivals all our
competitors.
Mr. Ford: Actually, just to illustrate my point let me give
you an anecdote here. I remember last year I was playing
golf with one of our key suppliers. It was a lovely summer
afternoon. Anyway, I invited our supplier for a game of
golf, and wanted to get his input on the new x420.
Mr. Ford: Actually, I often get together with him for a
good game of golf. It really is a wonderful way to relax. To
be honest, I’m not that great at golf, but I have improved
in the last few years. But the key to golf is practice,
practice, practice. I’ve lost my thread. What was I talking
about again?
Jonathan: I think you were discussing the campaign
advertisement Michael.
Mr. Ford: Yes, excuse me. I’m afraid I got sidetracked
there. Yes anyway, the campaign. Well, erm. let me see. Is
the projector working yet Jonathan?
Jonathan: No sorry, IT are still fixing it.
Mr. Ford: Ahh okay, erm... all the information on the
campaign is on the PowerPoint. I haven’t actually got my
notes with me...ermlet me see, erm.....
Audience Member: Mr. Ford, could you at least tell us
the schedule for the campaign? When are the first
advertisements scheduled for?
Mr. Ford: That’s a good question. Unfortunately I
erm...don’t have that information on me. I will have to get
back to you on that point.
Jonathan: Okay Michael, the projector is fixed. I think
we’re ready.
Mr. Ford: Thank goodness. Okay everyone, sorry for the
delay. So without further ado the new x420 marketing
campaign! Enjoy! oh ermmm. I’m terribly sorry, this is not
the advert, this is my golfing holiday in Barbados. I think I
must have brought the wrong file. Can we take five?
