奉了上司之命，Jennifer负责策划一项广告活动。由于广告促销的成效对销售业绩将有决定性的影响，因此这可不是份轻松的差事；尤其在做好决定之后，该如何向上司说明，以取得他们的支持，则有赖于做简报的技巧和方式。
I'm here today to present my research about the advertising campaign for the Kitchen Master microwave oven. Since this is a new product, our main goal is to establish brand awareness among our target audience, which is working women, aged 25 to 40.
According to my figures, of the working women we polled, 50% said they read at least one of the top-five selling women's magazines in Taiwan. And a full 80% said they watch at least one hour of television each night.
If you'll take a look at this chart, the best media mix, then, would be a combination of TV and magazine advertisements. I suggest 60% of the budget go toward spot ads, 35% toward print ads, and 5% toward outdoor advertising.
To conclude, even though our target audience is clearly defined, introducing a new product is always a gamble. But with the proper media mix we can certainly lessen the chance of failure.
今天我要向各位报告的是为“大厨师”广告所做调查的结果。由于“大厨师”是新产品，我们的广告必须要在目标顾客群中，也就是25岁至40岁的职业妇女中，建立起品牌知名度。
根据我所得到的数据，接受调查访问的职业妇女中，有百分之五十的人表示，她们阅读台湾最畅销的五本妇女杂志中至少一本。而有整整百分之八十的受访者表示，她们每晚至少看一个小时的电视。
如果各位看一下这张图表，就可以知道，最好的媒体组合是，电视和杂志广告并用。我建议将预算的百分之六十拨给电视广告，百分之三十五给杂志，其余的百分之五做户外广告。
总的来说，即使我们的目标顾客已很清晰，但新产品上巿本来就像赌博，没人能有十成的把握。然而，媒体组合选用得当，我们自然会降低失败的机率。
短语解说
brand awareness 品牌知名度
这是个广告的专业用语，指消费者对某项产品的认识。"Awareness"由"aware"变化而来，后者为形容词，有“知晓；注意到”的意思。"Brand"，‘牌子、商标’。
To increase brand awareness, we will have to advertise on TV to reach the largest possible audience.
为了提高知名度，我们必须打电视广告，尽可能让最多的观众看到我们的产品。
target audience 目标大众
每一项产品在制作广告之前，都会选定某一群人作为主要的诉求对象，这群人就称为该广告的“目标大众”。目标大众决定之后，广告内容、媒体、甚至播出时段，才能随之选定。"Target"，靶子、目标。
Our current ads are not reaching the target audience. We'll have to make some changes.
本公司目前的广告并没有发挥对目标大众的影响力，我们得做些改变。
media mix 媒体组合
"Media" 在此指将产品信息传达给目标大众的媒介，包括电视、广播、报纸、杂志等等。在为产品制作广告时，通常经由各种研究与调查，找出效果最大、效率最高的几种广告方式，同时使用。这些不同媒体的组合使用即是"media mix"。
With the proper media mix, you can effectively reach your target audience.
媒体组合若选用得宜，你的广告便能有效地影响目标大众。
spot ad(s) 电视或收音机广告
这是美式口语的说法，"spot ad" 就是电视或广播节目中的广告，又可简称为"spot"。
Spot ads are the most expensive and usually the most effective.
电视和收音机广告的费用最贵，而效果通常也最好。
print ad(s) 平面广告
这词组直译就是“印刷式的广告”，即纸面上的广告，主要是指报纸和杂志广告。
The designer's specialty is creating breathtaking print ads.
创作令人惊异的平面广告是这位设计师的专长。
