2015 year in Review
By PHILLIP OFORI APPIAH
Top three companies
Apple
Apple stands as the one technology company that truly gets marketing. It defines the game changing in existing markets before people themselves even know what they want. Their product is fast and reliable. It gives you access to anything at the tip of your fingers. Who doesn't want an iPhone?. Its awesome.
Nike
the swoosh logo, "word of foot" advertising, and, of course, sponsoring athletes. Nike has some of the best athletes around. They feature these athletes in their commercials in their gear doing what they do best. They make very nice signature shoes for their athletes that represents them uniquely. These athletes have millions of fans who tend to buy these shoes because it is featured by their favorite athlete.
Geico
Warren Buffet and marketing. Geico has some of the best as concepts on the planet for the example The Gekko, the Caveman, the little piggy, the electricity-generating guinea pigs in a rowboat. These characters talk about how Geico is one of the best insurance companies around in very funny ways.
Top products made in 2015
Hoover board
As time goes on things in everyday life have gotten easier and easier. This is one of the very few inventions that made Big money in 2015. This machine allows you to move without walking. Many celebrities were seen by media riding on it. Sales went out the roof. It makes thins a lot easier and people love it.
Apple i watch
The iPhone allows you to do a lot. The apple watch allows you to do everything a lot easier. Instead of hiding your phone everytime you want to check social media or text. The apple watch can do all that by just being on your wrist which means no more hiding. When you go somewhere that prohibits you from using your phone you can easily access everything you want by using the watch.Warren Buffet and marketing. Geico also has some of the best ad concepts on the planet: The Gekko, the Caveman, the little piggy, and my current favorite, the electricity-generating guinea pigs in a rowboat: "It's kind of strange. Such a simple word. Row."
Top worst products in 2015
Walkman NW-ZX2
it definitely makes us feel like we're living in 2002 again. Releasing a new portable music player these days just seems unnecessary with most people using their smartphones as their primary music device. Who's really going to spend nearly $1,200 dollars on one to be fair, this device is really intended for the more serious audiofile out there. It doesn't seem like there are even enough of them out there to make this product a success. You could easily access music through your phone days of the Walkman is over.
Luminette
Luminette is a product made to offer portable light therapy to those needing energy in the morning, or those facing depression in the dark days of winter. From consumers with SAD (seasonal affective disorder) to consumers looking for an alternative to coffee, luminette is meant to help increase energy levels by re-regulating internal rhythms synchronized to the light-dark cycle. But the product sits upon the brow in a bulky, inconvenient way. While the device might actually jack up energy levels, consumers will likely pass over it for aesthetic reasons. The product almost killed people.
Two top movies
Fast and furious
When two top teams of the NBA are about to play, there is a short video made of the the teams best players. When fast and furious trailers were hitting everywhere, I saw a mash of the trailer and warriors vs clippers video mash together and that's how I found out about the movie.
Tommorowland
The cover of the movie were on store items like walmart and target and many others. I remember my mom coming home and bring a pack of bottle water and I saw the cover and that's how I knew about the movie.
Top artist of 2015
Drake
In 2015 Drake released If You're Reading This It's Too Late mixtape which sold oversold over 1 million copies, making Drake the first artist with a platinum album in 2015. It also marks the rapper's fourth platinum album. His hit hotline Bling also made a big splash as the dance he did in the video was done everywhere
Future
He unexpectedly released his third album DS2, in July 2015, which earned him his first No. 1 on the Billboard 200. On September 20, 2015, Future released a joint-mixtape with Canadian rapper Drake called ''What a time to be alive''. Which went on to sell over 300,000 copies in its first week. Future in 2015 brought hit after hit which march madness, blow a bag, real sister and many others. You could easily say that 2015 was future's year.
