Omega App Project

Omega Apps Project

OmegaApp- Mod Squad

           

OmegaApp is the completely fictional company that I have created to use this term or for at least this project. OmegaApp is trying to make a name for its apps in a growing market of apps for devices from the Kindle Fire to the new Iphones. The apps at OmegaApp are created to enhance the user experience by adding simple but fun app elements that can be useful to a wide range of users. The fictional app that my team will be marketing for OmegaApp is PieAttack, which is an app that allows the user of any smart phone or smart device with a touch screen to throw a pie at a friend. Once the user sends/throws the pie at a friend their screen becomes completely covered and they have to use their finger on the touch screen to wipe it off as if it was really dirty.

            In order to take full advantage of the market and get as much coverage as possible for my clients, OmegaApp, I will use the following marketing plan to set up and publish the PieAttack app to the widest audience possible. First off I will need to define my audience; the customer will be the most important part of this process and will ultimately make or break the success of the overall project.

The next step is for me to list some ads and get some advertisement out for this new app. I will make an effort across several sites and venues commonly frequented by my target audience to take advantage of the most effective marketing campaign. When I can get the app advertisement seen in several places the visibility and retained message will be much stronger. Complementary sites that I can help cross-promote to visitors, who will then see the PieAttack there too, will provide excellent reinforcement of the message.

While this is my first step, realistically I could better create the budget for marketing if I knew the total costs involved in the project. As the project manager I should already at least have an idea at this time what the price range will be and probably already have a figure in mind of how much I should spend. After creating the advertisements I will use and then getting the advertisements up and running in the market I can then start to track and document the success or failure of the results of the projects first run of advertisements.

Hopefully, the results of the marketing will come out as successful and the project will be deemed a total success. In the next section I will layout and discuss the needs analysis for this project. The needs analysis for this project will discuss four different points to meet the requirements listed in rubric.

 

Needs Analysis

            The problems to be solved in this needs analysis is how to accomplish the development and marketing the new app PieAttack for the fictional company OmegaApp-ModSquad.

            As project manager my team and I will be marketing this new app with the goal of making OmegaApp and the new app successful. I will be introducing this app to wide market with my main target group being teenage boys around age twelve to young men around eighteen to twenty five.

            I can agree that networking can and will be a big part in this project as well as any other project like it. Networking has become a major element in most things involving information technology these days and it will only continue to grow in the future. As for the reading for this unit I have hit a roadblock because when I downloaded the e-book from doc sharing it only has lessons up to lesson eight and I was unable to find lesson ten and with work and everything else I have run out of time but I really feel that I was still able to produce a strong project anyway.
