Market Research Assistant

Job title:  Market Research Assistant

Rate of pay: $12 per hour

Expected hours per week: Negotiable

Duties of the job:  Market research as far as demographics, how to price products, competition, ways the target market likes to do things etc.

Skills and experience expected of a successful candidate: Completion of 2 years in the Journalism program with demonstrable proof of experience doing market research

A brief word about your project(S): 1) David Crighton Art Enterprises.  www.davidcrighton.com.

We are currently developing a marketing campaign for David’s Coronation Street pieces and need someone to research how to price the art, find marketing opportunities such as Coronation Street FB Pages, Website’s, Fan Club Mailing Lists, Blogs etc.  We will also want to develop other marketing avenues and their potential as far as a large audience for other pieces that David could create to sell in a similar manner.  Any other market research activities that, as a student of journalism, you can think of.

2) The Breadwomen Project – this is a start-up internet community for “successful” women to talk about the “dark” side of their success.  As a counter-balance to the rah rah Go Girl networking that is so prevalent today, The Breadwomen Project is all about authenticity and honesty about the challenges, sacrifices and losses that come with women being able to be financially free for the first time in recorded history if not the entire history.  Pioneer Breadwomen share their stories of struggle and personal triumph which may have culminated in a moment of transformation and younger Breadwomen share about the challenges they face – such as – difficulties finding a partner earning as much or more than them, whether to have children or not because of career to name a few.

This project needs market research into all areas including: demographics of the target market, what they will buy, what they will pay for, what they care about, competition for this market, websites that are not offering the same kind of services but have websites already built that deliver products and services that The Breadwomen Project hopes to deliver to their community.
