The nature of high-street fashion brands amongst female adolescents is a combined set of fast fashion movements and early adopter demands within a compressed timeframe. This research has investigated the need for a communication plan to appropriately deliver the brand message for this sector. There are a number of information barriers for high-street fashion brands to build customer value and differentiate the core values of their brands from competitors because of 1) imbalanced strategic communication implementation particularly in the encoding process, 2) ambiguous interpretation of target audience behaviour as a key disseminator of brand messages and 3) a lack of an integrated communication approach to complement the brand building communication plan. Accordingly, there is a need for a brand building communication framework to formulate and direct the female adolescent perceived values within a limited time based on mutual understanding and shared requirements between a high-street fashion brand and its target audience. Moreover, a strategic plan using an integrated brand-building communication in the encoding process which optimises the contribution of the audience must be developed. This research has revealed that high-street fashion brands should concentrate on consumer self-construal, consumer-brand congruence and consumer-brand relationships of female adolescents in order to clearly construct brand messages which match audiences’ values and lifestyles. Due to the needs for informative cooperation amongst the target audiences, the brand-building communication strategy as a persuasive medium, which encourages audiences and prospects to initiate interactivity with the high-street fashion brand, was thoroughly examined in the empirical study. A conceptual model of a high-street fashion brand-building communication was developed and evaluated by means of design research methodology and soft systems methodology. The proposed model explains the platform of brand-building communication strategy in the encoding process for the high-street fashion market. A number of advantages are offered: Firstly, brand managers may use the model to overcome the barriers to integrate a fashion brand communication strategy. Secondly, it can enhance the recognition of fashion brand-building communication. Thirdly, the model offers an approach to leverage customer-brand relationships by means of the communication process. Fourthly, it allows the description of a holistic view of brand message construction in the encoding process. Finally, it offers a strategy to integrate online and off-line communications.

Estando há dois anos inserida no ambiente organizacional da empresa PI Acessórios LTDA, foi possível perceber problemas de comunicação interna, tais como: informações que se perdiam, assuntos não resolvidos, problemas de relacionamento, fofocas, ruídos na comunicação, clima organizacional tenso, dúvidas nas tarefas de cada um e problemas na produção. Por isto, a pesquisadora escolheu propor um plano de comunicação interna para a empresa. Por plano de comunicação interna entenda-se uma ferramenta estratégica de compatibilização dos interesses dos empregados e da empresa, por meio do estímulo ao diálogo, à troca de informações e de experiências e à participação de todos os níveis. Para direcionar a pesquisa foram escolhidos seis fatores principais relacionados ao plano de comunicação, com base no estudo da International Association of Business Communicators (IABC): Liderança, Comunicação, Motivação, Gerenciamento, Mensuração e Feedback. Um plano de comunicação interna provê a organização com uma direção clara e coordenação dos processos, estabelece uma estrutura de trabalho, deixa explícito quem é responsável por cada função, define orçamentos e cronogramas e cria um benchmark para a mensuração de resultados. Garante também que se tenha o maior impacto possível com o orçamento disponível. Para tanto, a comunicação interna deve ser entendida de forma integral, permeando todas as ações organizacionais, viabilizando de maneira permanente a construção de sua cultura e identidade, e marcando um estilo próprio e suas formas de projetar-se exteriormente (a construção de sua imagem). A comunicação interna é um meio para desenvolver a empresa. É necessário que as informações sejam tratadas como um ativo (que tem que ser gestionado) e um recurso (que tem que ser aproveitado). Ela permite criar um clima de confiança, motivação, relacionamento e comunicação por parte dos colaboradores dentro da empresa. Assim, foi realizado um estudo de caso de natureza qualitativa e descritiva, por meio de uma pesquisa aplicada a todos os funcionários como também para a direção, observações, e-mails, conversas informais, skypes. O resultado do levantamento evidenciou e analisou os seis fatores acima relacionados a fim de que os funcionários se envolvam e participem ativamente na organização, bem como demonstrou a real necessidade da criação de um plano de comunicação interna na empresa. Sendo assim, o plano de comunicação interna proposto será avaliado e aplicado a partir dos resultados mensurados conforme a pesquisa aplicada e conforme a aprovação do cronograma. / Being two years ago inserted in the company's organizational environment PI Accessories LTDA, it was revealed internal communication problems, such as information that is lost, unresolved issues, relationship issues, gossip, noise in communication, tense organizational climate, doubts in each task and problems in production. Therefore, the researcher chose to propose an internal communication plan for the company. For internal communication plan is meant a strategic tool for aligning the interests of employees and the company, through the stimulus to dialogue, exchange of information and experience and participation at all levels. To direct the research were chosen six main factors related to the communication plan, based on the study of the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC): Leadership, Communication, Motivation, Management, Measurement and Feedback. An internal communication plan provides the organization with a clear direction and coordination of procedures, establishes a framework, makes it clear who is responsible for each function, set budgets and schedules and creates a benchmark for measuring results. It also ensures that it has the greatest possible impact with the available budget. Therefore, internal communication must be understood fully, permeating all organizational actions, enabling permanently the construction of their culture and identity, and scoring an own style and ways of projecting outwardly (building your image ). Internal communication is a means to develop the company. It is necessary that the information is treated as an asset (which has to be gestionado) and a resource (which has to be used). It allows you to create a climate of trust, motivation, relationship and communication by employees within the company. Thus, we conducted a case study of qualitative and descriptive nature, through a survey applied to all employees as well as to the direction, comments, emails, informal conversations, Skypes. The result of the survey showed and analyzed the six factors listed above in order that the employees involved and actively participate in the organization and demonstrated the real need to create an internal communications plan in the company. Thus, the proposed internal communication plan will be evaluated and applied from the results measured as applied research and according to the approved schedule.

The master thesis, "Marketing planning of regional gallery for fine arts," consists of two major segments; theoretical and practical. The first includes theoretical bases concerning marketing plans and most importantly, Arts marketing. The regional gallery of fine arts in Zlin can be given a practical definition with special focus on; characteristics, buildings, visitors, competi-tion, current marketing activities etc. The main attribute of this thesis and the initial goal con-sists of proposed communication solutions linked to the plan of exhibitions for the year 2012. Recommended communication regards the nature of exhibitions and using the suitable com-munication channel that finds the target group. The original proposal concerning the lower financial inputs while using targeted communication was proved. The effectiveness of rec-ommended solutions expressed by a higher number of visitors could be proved only after full application of proposed solutions.

In the past two years, six National Football League players have died by suicide. Investigations into most of the deaths revealed that the players suffered from brain damage likely caused by repeated concussions. As is the case with many health issues, tragedy often precedes action; the suicides of these high profile football stars have catalyzed action on concussion policy and practice, as well as opened up the conversation about the overall mental health of athletes. This thesis joins the conversation around mental health and athletes, specifically Canadian varsity football players. Mental health problems and illnesses are presented as especially common, affecting about 1 in 5 Canadians. That is not to underestimate the severity of mental illnesses, which can deteriorate an individual’s quality of life, significantly impact friends and family and, in the most severe cases, also lead to death by suicide. That said, this thesis adopts a theoretical perspective that focuses on the promotion and protection of good mental health. This thesis is primarily concerned with investigating the social, political, and external factors that negatively impact how football players conceptualize mental health and mental illness, and also the recommended behaviour to seek professional help if needed. The growing body of research concerning the negative impact of mental illness stigma is compelling and leaves no doubt that stigma is a significant barrier to recovery. This thesis explores the stigma process as well as its social function in groups. Next, it investigates how the already powerful stigma around mental illness is further exacerbated by gender and more specifically, how traditional masculine ideology (i.e. men should be strong and powerful) conflicts with stereotypical beliefs about mentally ill people (i.e. weak and/or incompetent). Gender and health are further linked in terms of behaviour. In other words, rejecting health behaviours becomes a strategy some men utilize to project their masculinity, paradoxically contributing to the creation or worsening of many health problems. A health behaviour that is explored in detail is psychological help-seeking, and the psychosocial processes of help-seeking, which are also mainly regulated by masculinity. An overview of the most common mental health problems and illnesses found in male varsity athletes is provided. All of the above components are then applied to the unique context of varsity football players. The thesis draws on the literature as well as qualitative interview data that explores the experiences of 8 varsity football players at the University of Ottawa. Regarding mental health promotion, the findings show that football players may require adapted communication approaches. To that end, the thesis transitions into an early-stage health communication plan supported by the literature and the primary data. The plan proposes overall outcomes, short term/intermediate objectives, a communication strategy, and a tactical approach. Next, a web-based health resource is suggested as a primary communication vehicle and is outlined in detail. The plan then suggests potential partnerships for extending the strategic communication plan’s reach and credibility. This is followed by suggestions for evaluating both the short term/intermediate objectives as well as the strategic communication plan’s overall impact. This thesis concludes with a chapter exploring the contributions lifted from the eight qualitative interviews, as well as suggested directions for research, policy and practice.
