WF SEM HALL OF FAME

A Look at Sports and Entertainments Most Influential Characters… Past and Present!

There have been many influential characters in the world of Sports and Entertainment Marketing over the course of history. To better understand the Sports and Entertainment Marketing Industry we will each research and present information about a particular influential character in the world of Sports and Entertainment. We study them to see how and why their career choices impacted them and us.

The presentation: You will be creating a powerpoint presentation consisting of 5-8 slides. The presentation should be as creative as possible and include pictures, images, sound, etc. that help to convey your message.

IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS MUST BE YOUR OWN WORK, DO NOT JUST CUT AND PASTE INFORMATION.

General Guidelines for the content of the presentation:

Your famous character is one of 20 plus famous characters that are up for induction into the 2015 Class of the Sports and Entertainment Hall of Fame.

You are acting as an agent/player rep. for that famous character. Your job is to present this person in such a way as to make the hall of fame committee (classmates/teacher) vote your client into the hall of fame. Your presentation is the only vehicle your client has to represent himself/herself to the voters, so make it good.

The content of your slides is not limited to this particular information. The following are required topics to cover, but the potential information is limitless.

Required topics:

Personal Background info., ie. Name, age, DOB, DOD, birthplace, residence, family info.,etc.

History of the contribution to their discipline, what did they do that made them a famous “whatever”?

Specific major accomplishments/honors/etc. (Stats, Hall of Fame Inductions, Gold Records, etc)

Relation to Marketing’s best/most successful practices…What did they do that made marketing more successful overall or for their projects, etc?

Why this person is Hall of Fame material?

Anything else we should know about the person, including “wow” or “unusual” facts.

Your presentation should have an introduction, body and conclusion and should be professional. I am evaluating you on how you speak, what you say, how mature and professional you are and your overall demeanor while presenting. Practice, you only get one shot at it.You will print a copy (handout style) and make any notes, etc. you would like and practice your presentation before you present.

Make the voters choose your famous character for the hall of fame, don’t let them down!!
