So I have this 'group project' marketing plan to write. Of course, I'm writing it because my group consists of:
Male from Eritrea
Male from Uganda
Male from Colombia
Female from Thailand
Female from Taiwan
and being the only native speaker, I thought it kind to actually do the final version.
And an australian guy...but I've assigned him to do the linear regression case. Anyhow, we had to develop a new product. My group read how Anheuser Busch has developed a caffinated malt beverage (think Bacardi Silver) to compete with the vodka + redbull crowd. Well apparently caffinated beer is on the market in a few places, and now our group is writing this business plan for Sam Adams to develop a new low-carb, caffinated beer. This of course was not my idea...however, I also insisted that we not call it Sam Adams (no need to tarnish the name) so they agreed that I could name it Paul Revere as a sub brand to SAM. Now instead of writing the thing, I am:
A) posting on JPfitness
B) thinking up funny jingles..."Paul Revere, for when you too need to ride all night" /
One if by land, two if you're just really lucky (picture of twins in background) /
Paul Revere, by Sam Adams. Get on your horse!

none of which is making this bad paper go any faster

You would have an easier time marketing a Vodka/Fresca type beverage. No such concoction is widely available yet, as far as I know

There will be commercials with hot, scantily clad young women professing their love for Rowan's Famous Peej, sold at all fine liquor stores

That's actually a REALLY awesome commercial idea!

Why not market it to women? Go the lo-cal, stay up and party all night, modern girl types....Nobody markets alcohol to women. Think Newports in a bottle....

So your group members are the brains and your the scribe?

no, i just don't care about marketing..
I run the show, do the finance and accounting, farm out the statistics, and simply write the marketing project..
I assumed the taskmaster role early
