price or convenience, but the taste of their chicken sandwiches – a “healthier” alternative to hamburgers. In test research surveys, consumers spoke quite favorably about the chain’s product during aided brand awareness. Faced with these “David vs. Goliath” odds, Chick-fil-A gave its advertising agency, The Richards Group, a tough assignment – develop an integrated advertising and marketing campaign that clearly positions Chick-fil-A as a preferred alternative…

Michelangelo’s pieta has been researched comprehensively on different subjects ranging from why he signed this piece only, about the missing leg of Christ, and the draping wet-cloth look on the drapes of Christ and Mary.
