Week 5


What about the commercial made it memorable?
This commercial was memorable because it was funny and I could relate to it as a student
How much does it cost to air a commercial during the super bowl?
To air a comercial to the superbowl it costs 3.9 Million dollars per 30 seconds.
What other expenses go into producing a commercial? What kinds of costs might these activities incur? (there's not a "right" or "wrong" answer for this, do some google research and justify a value)
To make this comercial you would need stuntmen, a library to film at, and multiple pieces of breaking furniture.Im guessing this comercial costed $50,000
How many "widgets" (whatever the company is selling) will the company have to sell to cover the cost of their commercial? Share some math that justifies your answer.
They would need to sell 1,333,333 boxes of oreo cakesters to pay for this comercial,

    Who is a Leader?

    • A leader is anyone who influences a decision.
    • The size of the decision or who is deciding doesn't change a leaders role.

    This is a picture of my influence, and who influences me.
