1. What theme would you suggest for this campaign? Please provide a theme name and a justification for why this is a good fit for Kodak’s objectives.

2. How could the objectives be made stronger and easier to evaluate? Rewrite each objective using the MBO approach from the chapter (p. 124 and 128.)

3. What strategies did they use? (Be sure to first read and understand the difference between a strategy and a tactic, as explained in Chapter 6.)

4. From the public relations theories in Chapter 3, which one is the best fit to this campaign? Suggest a different theory, and how the execution might change if guided by a different theory.

5. Given the social media options available today, what additional strategies would you have suggested? Additional tactics? (Be creative, and explain your ideas in detail for full credit.)
