Last week, you kicked off the second sprint of the accelerator. In this sprint you will do a deep dive on every area of your business, starting with marketing and sales last week. Marcus Johnson-Smith and Cody Damon, Entrepreneurs-in-Residence at DEC, ran a digital marketing workshop where they went over tools of the trade. Read on to review key takeaways from this highly practical workshop.

This week, the focus is on financials and personal development for yourselves as founders. We are pleased to pilot the personal development module under the leadership of Dr. Ali Hill, Managing Partner, Sound Advice Consulting Services and Founder, Sound Advice Women.

Some methods for defining a target audience across digital channels include selecting a narrow age group and geographic area to target that you might see fit for your product or service. You can also target audiences across interest areas that align with your business offerings.

Your audience, your business model and your model for customer acquisition will be determined by the experiments you take with your marketing strategy, and the data you will collect from these experiments.

EIR Marcus Johnson-Smith shared how he uses data to inform his advertising campaigns across Google Ads. Marcus has a business with a physcial retail location. Marcus drives most of his data through Google Analytics and Google Search Console. He then utilizes reports specifically around keyword use and keyword volume to develop keyword lists to include in his campaigns.

Once you pick a number, you have to see if your prospective customers are down for paying that price for your solution. There are lots of ways to do price testing, including Monadic surveys, sequential Monadic surveys, the controversial Van Westendorp Pricing analysis, conjoint analysis and more.

However, people are not held to what they say in an interview or a survey. These results are just directional but not a great predictor of purchase intent or pricing preference because your respondents do not have skin in the game.

The only real way to test a price is to offer to sell your solution at that price. You can do this without having built the business! Simply create a description of your product or service. Then you can do all sorts of experiments (digital or otherwise) with this description.

For B2C ventures, you can run a landing page test. You can either offer your solution for pre-order, or failing that, you can offer to sign them up to be notified when your solution is available. Or if you are able to, you can offer to sell them a limited beta, and actually collect money from them.

Imagine we are a marketing insights company (like CBInsights), and we do specific industry research in, say, the business trends for robotics and AI. We offer a subscription service to companies requiring this type of research, at a company-wide license starting at $5,000 per month, or $60,000 annual recurring revenue (ARR)per year.

During the intense weeks of a summer accelerator, there is so much to learn, create, and put into action for your venture. This focus on the business itself can leave a gaping hole in building the foundation of your entity, namely, how YOU, the founder, are connected with what you are creating.

The first step in educating the leaders of tomorrow is assembling the right team. I am so proud of the team we have built and all that we have accomplished together in the last year for the University Honors Program. To learn more about the Honors Program staff, click here.

Our team continues to grow: this semester, we added to our ranks Honors Faculty Fellow Dr. Jordan Soliz, and later this summer we will add two Honors Teaching Fellows. Although our team is changing and growing, our mission remains the same: to create a community of life-long learners who benefit from unique classes and professional experiences that will prepare them for an uncertain, globalized world.

Discussion-based seminars have long been a hallmark of the University Honors Program, but increasingly, the faculty teaching Honors seminars are finding ways to take students' learning beyond the classroom.

From a neuroscience-focused Zombie walk timed for Halloween, to tagging fences around Lincoln with positive (and temporary) street art, to attending a conference at U.S. Strategic Command as part of Dr. Tyler White's "You MAD Bro? Mutually Assured Destruction, Deterrence, and Assurance" seminar on the politics of nuclear weapons, Honors students have had many opportunities this year to put what they're learning in their seminars into practice in new and exciting ways.

One of many such examples is the advertising and public relations seminar, "I'm Not Buying It: Examining Truth and Deception in Advertising" taught by Prof. Patti Harney, Honors Faculty Fellow for the College of Journalism and Mass Communications. In Harney's Fall 2019 class, first-year students had the opportunity to examine the effects of ubiquitous advertising in a way that transcends the disciplines of marketing or communications.

When not learning from industry professionals, the students spent much of their time in class debating questions such as "where is the line between pulling on heartstrings and emotional manipulation?" and considering the impact of messages on specific audiences and society at large.

For their final project, students were asked to put what they had learned into practice by developing their own advertising campaign. In small groups, they were tasked with developing a campaign for the Foundation for Lincoln Public Schools (FLPS) to raise money while navigating the sometimes sticky question of how to solicit funds in a way that was ethically sound. Through a field trip to Lincoln High School and meetings with Wendy Van, President of FLPS, the students researched and designed their advertising strategies, concluding with a final opportunity to pitch their proposals to the Foundation.

According to Harney, the class projects are already having a real-world impact on students: "The Foundation for Lincoln Public Schools is actually moving forward with one of the class campaign ideas, 'Be A Mom To More,' so students are thrilled to see how their research and strategic thinking will work in the real world."

"This class was a great introduction into what the world of advertising and public relations has to offer, and altogether just an interesting class. Our final project was a perfect way to apply the variety of topics and methods that we had discussed throughout the semester to a real life situation. It gave me experience and insight I see in my life every day and continue to use in many other classes."

The Center for Transformative Teaching (CTT) collaborates with educators across departments and programs to promote evidence-based, inclusive, innovative, and effective teaching for all learners. CTT staff provide leadership and support for the enrichment of teaching and learning by focusing on evidence-based pedagogy, best practices, and the appropriate integration of learning technology in online, blended, and face-to-face classrooms.

This fall, UNL hired Nick Monk to be the director of the Center for Transformative Teaching. Nick came to UNL from the University of Warwick in England where he was Director of the Institute for Advanced Teaching and Learning and a Professor in the Department of English.

The Honors Program is collaborating with Nick and his team at CTT in many ways. In addition to providing workshops for Honors faculty and students, Nick and his team are providing crucial mentoring for students leading Honors Afterschool Clubs.

Our most exciting news: in August 2020, our offices are collaborating to create two positions for Postdoctoral Associates in Teaching Innovation and Interdisciplinarity. Honors Teaching Associates will spend half of their time working with the CTT, where they will research, learn, and practice pedagogy. They will spend the rest of their time implementing their ideas and new approaches in the University Honors Program, where they will teach and pursue an interdisciplinary research project of their own design. This amazing collaboration will allow these Postdoctoral Associates to expand the Honors Programs transdisciplinary research and pedagogy.

Honors Experiential Tracks are a new initiative available for students in the 3rd and 4th year of the program, and the purpose of the Civic Leaders track is to "cultivate a lifelong habit of civic engagement." Through their coursework, co-curricular activities, work and civic opportunities, and engagement with community leaders, students in this Honors track will "develop skills for collaborating with various community groups, dialoguing across differences, and utilizing professional competencies to improve quality of life in communities." Through shared coursework and other activities, our aim is to create a community of civic leaders that will last beyond their time at the university.

In addition to working with faculty and staff in the Honors Program and community leaders as part of the Civic Leaders honors track, I will be teaching the Honors 395H seminar, Dialoguing Across Difference. In this course, students will learn about and engage in the processes and formats that facilitate constructive outcomes when talking with individuals from different social identities (e.g., race-ethnicity, religion), worldviews, and political ideologies. Students will also have the opportunity to develop programs that can be used to facilitate discussions on important social and civic issues in the campus and local community.
