    The global broadcast promotion of Torino 2006 was the strongest in Olympic Winter Games history. As more Olympic broadcasters made greater use of satellite and digital platforms to provide viewers with increased access to the Games, broadcast coverage of Torino 2006 Games reached a worldwide total of more than 16,300 hours, the equivalent of 679 days of around-the-clock coverage (Olympic, 2013). For the first time, fans in certain markets were able to access live actions and highlights streamed to their mobile phones, live video streams via the internet, and TV coverage in High Definition. It was an incredible 57% increase over the previous record of 10,416 hours of coverage established for Salt Lake 2002 (Olympic, 2013). Clearly, promotions worked very well. The 2006 Winter Games generated approximately $833 million in rights fees revenue (Torsen, n.d.). Another area that worked well for the 2006 Winter Games was the implementation of an anti-ambush campaign to protect the Olympic brand and partners’ rights. Ambush marketing is a marketing technique in which advertisers work to connect their product with a particular event in the minds of potential customers, without having to pay sponsorship expenses for the event (Business Dictionary, n.d.). Through intense advertising in key markets areas with a history of ambush activities, the IOC “communicated the identities, roles and contributions of Olympic sponsors, defined ambush marketing and the damage it can cause to the Olympic Movement and presented ideas on how stakeholders can combat ambush marketing” (Olympic, 2013). As a result of this campaign, more interest for brand protection grew among the NOC communities and global consumer awareness of the Olympic Games increased from 87% in 2004 to 94% (Olympic,…

    A Report on Brazil

    Being the fifth largest country in the world by surface area and population, and recently emerging as one of the fastest growing global economies , Brazil can hardly be overlooked as a potential target of investment, especially in the light of the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics. Nevertheless, an immediate word of caution is at place here. Even though Brazil is 25% of the highly hyped BRIC-countries, the engine seems to show some hiccups, as it is revealed that due to high interest rates and an overly appreciated national currency, the Brazilian economy in 2011 had its second-worst performance since 2003 (2.7% growth versus 7.5% in 2010) . As a result, Brazil is losing international competitiveness and is being outperformed by its fellow BRIC-nations . This is also noted in a recent report from Nasdaq, in which it is claimed that a central bank survey showed forecasts of a growing inflation and declining economic growth .…

    Latin American Idiot Analysis

    However, the intrusion of multinational companies are viewed by some Latin American’s as enemies of prosperity. In reality, multinational companies are merely in search of profit and have made large investments in the countries in which they open factories. Major automakers were looking to make “Brazil to be something like the second industrial automotive capital in the Western Hemisphere.” (245) This is only possible by a twelve billion dollar investment from major automakers. Aside from massive financial investments companies share a deep interest in labor with General Motors, for example employing “100,000 Mexicans, Colombians, Chileans, Venezuelans, and Brazilians.” (245) The primary purpose of a major multinational company might be to make a profit, but there is also a significant level of investment in the local economies through either monetary investments or…
