SUNY CHANCELLOR’S AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE IN ADJUNCT TEACHING 2017-2018

 

Professor Robert Bohn

 

It is with great pleasure that I would like to recommend Professor Robert Bohn, Assistant Professor in the Advertising and Marketing Communications department in the Jay and Patty Baker School of Business and Technology at FIT, for the

SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Adjunct Teaching.  Professor Bohn came to us after significant teaching experience at STERN, NYU, Nyack College, Mercy College, Manhattan College, Fordham University, Manhattanville College, Baruch College, College of Westchester, Metropolitan College of New York, The Mountbatten Institute and the European School of Economics.  Possessing a dual majored Masters of Business Administration (Marketing / Management), Professor Bohn started his doctoral studies (PhD in marketing) with Capella University in fall 2015.

Highly successful in designing and implementing creative media, marketing and public relations campaigns, utilizing strategic partnerships, and securing professional and political endorsements Bohn offers students and the school a

professor with a strong sports background, event management success stories, proven track record of launching new products and repositioning of brands and an outstanding network of contacts.

 

Professor Bohn combined his extensive teaching experience with a professional experience that spans over 25 years. Robert F. Bohn has worked as a Marketing Director at a diverse group of well-established organizations including The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), Metro New York (MNY), People Magazine, Forbes Magazine, PRIMEDIA, ESPN and Kiplinger's Personal Finance.

Over the past 5+ years, while handling and excelling with a full schedule of teaching young minds, Professor Bohn also

ran a productive creative consulting firm whereby he works independently with companies who are looking to

make money!

His goals with his clients is to improve their marketing efforts and to directly manage their clients by leading their teams of creative talent. Heavy brand repositioning involved, utilizing my areas of expertise in media relations, corporate presentations, strategic partnerships, press releases, special events, media training, market launches, E-marketing,

sporting events, and crisis management / communications are all part of his forte. 

 

Professor Bohn has proven to be an amazing teacher and a wonderful asset to our faculty, department and institution. In fact, he has become an integral part of the AMC department.  Hired in August of 2011, he quickly became a student favorite for his depth of knowledge, respectful teaching approach and a great sense of humor.  He has served the department in a number of capacities including as a temporary full-time faculty member, and as an active participant in the department’s tenure and promotion process. 

 

Robert is an active participant in recruitment, teaching for a number of years in the Saturday/Summer Live programs.  He has also become a strong voice in the EOP pre-freshman orientation process. 

  

He has earned CCE status in Advertising and Promotion (AC 111), Marketing for Integrated Marketing Communications (AC 114), and Mass Communications (AC 171).  He has brought his teaching skills to other classes including Marketing Research (AC 272) and Sales Promotion (AC 222). 

 

His outstanding performance has already been recognized before his FIT time as he has been awarded Outstanding Educator of the Year (2011 Finalist, LIM College), NYU General Excellence Award for Teaching (1990), NYU’s Torch Pin (1992 – 94) the NYU’s Torch Pin twice (awarded to long standing professors who have exhibited continued excellence in academic behavior) and Nyack’s Educator of the Year, Business (2013)

 

Professor Bohn joined our department as an Adjunct Faculty for our introduction course and expanded rapidly the scope of courses that he is teaching for us. From the one course at the beginning, Professor Bohn now teaches 6 courses. Across all those courses, Robert Bohn has achieved outstanding students’ evaluations - systematically above a 5 points score.

 

 

 

Robert Bohn combines a superb enthusiasm with a very acute mastery of the marketing communications topics.  His teaching materials are very clear and very stimulating.

 

Take for example how he teaches AC111 Advertising and Promotion, which is the cornerstone of what we teach here.

 

Professor Bohn gets the students when they are just starting out and it is imperative for him to allow the students to express themselves creatively.   Thanks to his mastery of the subjects and his teaching techniques, Professor Bohn creates a very stimulating and participative class environment where his students feel comfortable taking risks and pushing boundaries of thinking.

 

To do well with this class, Prof Bohn has made as a requirement for each student a GROUP project and a SOLO project. Let’s deal with the GROUP project for this section of the Bohn analysis. What the professor requires from each student is to work in a group, where a group contract is in effect, of 4-5 students, and to examine a major real life campaign that is actually coming up for review. The group of students are to examine each part of the creative process, examine it, tell us why it was successful and possibly why not, and to put together ideas and a preliminary plan for the future.

 

A lot to ask of 100 level students but they have Prof Bohn to help them through the assignment!

 

Currently, he has told me his class is working on the Happy Cows campaign which was developed for the California Milk Advisory Board. Each student will take ownership of a piece of the creative process that was done…and ultimately, they will be trying to top it for their 2018 plan…and present it accordingly.

 

When done, Bohn’s students learn a valuable lesson of teamwork and they each have something to put into their portfolios for future developments in their career…. PLUS…he tries and have someone from the account or their agency to be there when students present at the end of the semester. Win – win!

 

In this context, Robert Bohn provides an outstanding support for the intellectual growth of his students.

 

Bohn’s Solo Project, for example, examines celebrity endorsers that are often used by many marketers to promote their brands.  The project requires the students to look at their solution into parts and requires them to use syndicated research to conclude their conclusions, not just personal opinion.

 

Part 1 of the project is to identify 3 celebrity endorsers, the brands they endorse and who is the parent company. Include an ad from a magazine or find it online. Part 2 is asking you what is the celebrity’s association with these brands? Why did the marketer choose this celebrity endorser?  Part 3…please explain the positioning strategy that is being used to communicate the message. 

 

Part 4, who are these celebrity ads meant to reach/influence? Describe them in both demographic and psychographic terms. 

  • Demographic: e.g. Male or Female or both, age, income, and education.  MUST USE MRI Spring 2014 database. (20 points)
  • Psychographics: Describe the attitudes, beliefs, interests and motivations of these people. (20 points). MUST USE 2014 Spring MRI.

 

e.g. “Jessica is a loyal user of Secret Deodorant. She is 37 years old and is a financial analyst at an investment firm. When not at work she likes to decorate and volunteer at the community soup kitchen. On weekends, she likes to go out with friends to a movie, a concert or a dinner with someone special. She wants to make sure that the deodorant performs as advertised.

 

 

 

 

Part 5, lastly, using the Kantar Ad$pender data, run the latest spending report for one of the category that the brand is part of.

  • Print in either PDF or Excel format and include in your report the name of report and where it is. e.g. User1 (20 points)  
  • Based on the spending research derived from this report, what can you tell us about the demographics, especially the lifestyles, of the category users.

 

Part 6, time to sum up all this good research you have gathered for this project. Using a ceiling of 300 words, 100 words per celebrity endorser, sum up for us the value of using these celebs to promote the brand you have selected, based on the research you have gathered to tell your story.

 

What students will derive from this project is how to use professional data sources and integrate them formally into their final work and see firsthand what they are learning from AMC courses are actually reflective of the real world.

 

The man is brilliant!

 

Professor Bohn also systematically uses professional data sources (e.g. syndicated research (MRI); Ad$pender; Comp Media Reports; Ad Age; Brandweek; JD Power & Associates; Nielsen) and integrates formally the Advertising and Marketing Communications industry in his courses content and pedagogy through industry representation presentations (Let’s look at his AC111 Solo Project) and industry-based students’ projects (Let’s look at what he does with his AC171 Mass Comm) class.

 

Lastly, let’s take a look of an example of what Bohn requires of his students as it relates to industry based student projects.

 

Harvest in the Square is a festive celebration of community and cuisine presented by the Union Square Partnership. It is Manhattan's premier food and wine tasting event where signature dishes are prepared by some of the most popular restaurants in the Union Square district using fresh farm produce from our very own Union Square Greenmarket. New York microbrews and wines from New York State and across the globe are carefully paired with each dish, and this September 22nd, the 21st Annual event will take place with all proceeds from the event benefiting the organization's ongoing beautification efforts in Union Square Park.

 

A sudden change in USP management has changed their mission and YOUR AGENCY (4-5 STUDENTS PER AGENCY) has just been asked to pitch the 2017 Harvest in the Square with the new mission to think BIG. The event is always well received by the attendees, but management wants to add to its success and in 2017, they want it to be the “Superbowl” of epicurean events and use the 2017 Harvest to launch an event with local flavor but national buck$!

 

The reach and focus has always been local—not asking you to abandon what has worked in the past but it is now going to be someone’s agency job to find a way to extend the reach and bring in more customers, different types of customers, and more decadent (and hungry) customers beyond what it usually draws.

 

They need a mass media communication pitch with the same local flavor….and it’s up to YOUR agency to get the business.

 

Time to do your homework and put together a mass communication campaign to help spread the word outside of the greatest city of the world. You are being asked to present this in January 2017 for the event in September 2017, so as Yogi once said, “It gets late early around here” so it is best you get cracking on this job!

 

Their website is www.unioninthesqaure.nyc; the exec director is my old friend Jennifer Falk and their website will give you a lot of facts for your digestion. Your campaign must address the following (but can be expanded into more interactive venues as long as the main 3 are radio, magazines and television)

 

I have provided a finished report and PPT from students who actually pitched the idea to this organization and was paid for their research / creative ideas from Harvest on the Square management!!!!!

Robert Bohn provides an outstand supporting to his students, our department and the institution at large.

 

Prof. Bohn guides and helps his students find internships and jobs through his numerous contacts, and by not counting his hours, by advising his students on the best directions that they should take for their careers. As an advocate of teaching real life application to students, he has exceeded over his 6+ years here to implement into his lesson plans a steady stream of guest speakers which helps to augment their development and progress in their chosen field. (Please see CONTACTS ATTACHMENT for a sampling of professionals who have come into Bohns classes regularly over the past 6+ years). These friends of Bohn come into his classes NOT as a substitute for his lesson plan but rather to share light of the subject matter from the real world. 

 

In addition to steadily supplying FIT students with a network of contacts they can develop on their own, 26 students were able to find internships or jobs directly thanks to Professor Bohn’s guidance and help. To date, companies who have granted paid and non-paid internships to Bohn FIT AMC students have included Chanel, Ralph Lauren Polo, Bauer Media, Mastercard, Brand Synergy Group, OCD Media, The Shadow League, Pink Monkey Events, Digitas, Mattel, Pietra PR, The Baddish Group, The Visual Brand and Entertainment Weekly.

 

One semester alone, he had 7 of his students gain internships from his contacts, either from meeting them in class or he will do the introductions via email after vetting the student and making sure he/she is ready for the meet and greet. Please keep in mind…Professor Bohn does this ON HIS OWN TIME…not using up school time.  

 

He also supports the Advertising and Marketing Communications department by attending as many department meetings as possible and while being very busy with his consulting activities, by systematically agreeing to manage peer evaluations on new instructors every semester.

 

And if it were not enough, Professor Bohn agreed to participate to a survey that will be used to provide the foundation of a new book on Shopper Marketing that Professor Rejaud is writing.

 

Quite simple, he is excellent!

 

(To put it in his own words, Professor Bohn is one of the lucky few who really loves doing what he is doing for a living…and he loves it best when he is teaching at FIT!)

 

I highly recommend Professor Bohn for the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Adjunct Teaching. 

 

Thank you for your consideration.
