Headline: “7 Essential Tips for Passing Your Second-Year Digital Classes”

The headline I created for 1st-year students is “7 Essential Tips for Passing Your Second-Year Digital Classes”. I decided to create this headline because when I was thinking back to my first year if I saw a headline with tips on how to pass any classes it would immediately get my attention and I would want to find out more. Based on what we learned from class content is the main job of a headline is to attract. This headline is attention-grabbing and guaranteed to attract 1st-year students because they are likely to be interested in tips on how they can pass their second-year digital classes. The next aspect of my headline is that it is specific. When the reader looks at my headline they are going to be able to immediately know what it is about. My headline specifically tells 1st years students that the article is going to be about “7 tips for passing your second-year classes”. By ensuring your headlines are relevant and related to your article readers won’t feel like they were misled or disappointed with your content. Another key aspect of my headline is it is encouraging my audience of 1st-year students to take action and learn more. By including the word “tips” in my headline it shows the reader that by clicking on the article they will find the “tips” and information promised in the headline that they may need to reach their goals. Finally, the last element of the headline that I created is that it invokes a sense of urgency. The word “essential” that I used implies that the tips I am providing are crucial to the reader. Using that word it can create a sense of urgency, especially for students looking to improve their grades as a last resort. Overall I believe that the headline I created is engaging and able to catch my audience of 1st years attention. This is a good headline for 1st-year students because it directly appeals to them and is relevant to what they may be looking for and the answers that they may want.

Headline: “Launch Your Digital Advertising Career with Our Up-to-Date Marketing Program: The Gateway to Your Dream Job!”

Because the only information I had when creating this headline was it needed to be about our program and needed to target graduating high school students, I decided to create it based on what a graduating student would be looking for when thinking about post-secondary programs. To create this headline I started by reading our program overview on the St Clair website and highlighting any important information that I believe should be included in the headline. I specifically wanted to highlight that this is the most “up-to-date” program with the best curriculum of any Ontario advertising program. That is a very appealing aspect of our program that I believe would catch the reader’s attention. Once I came up with the content that I wanted in my headline I started putting it into Chatgbt to see what headlines it came up with. Once I had a list of headlines I couldn’t find one that I thought was perfect so I ended up incorporating 3 headlines into one which gave me the headline I chose. To specifically target graduating high school students there were a few elements I had to consider. When I was choosing a program it was important to me to find a program that I knew would set me up for my future career which is why I used “Launch your Digital Advertising Career” in the headline. Another aspect of this headline that I chose to appeal to graduating high school students was I incorporated the word “digital” in my headline as it may get the attention of a teenager more than other forms of traditional advertising vocabulary. When students hear the word digital they are included to think of digital elements such as social media marketing which is a major part of our program. Teenagers may not know what the traditional forms of advertising are so by using the word digital it effectively catches the attention of that generation because of the digital world we live in. Another element of this headline based on what we have talked about in class is it includes “action-oriented” language which is encouraging high school students to take action and ultimately “Launch Your Advertising Career”. Also by using the fact that our program is “up-to-date” it creates a sense of excitement and shows high school students that they are going to be learning about the latest trends and content in marketing. Finally by using “The Gateway to Your Dream Job” it can help show high school students who may not have a clear idea of what they want to do that this program can motivate the students and be exactly what they need to help them find their dream career.

Headline #1: Love at First Lopsided Smile: Family Drives 2500 Miles to Rescue Uniquely Adorable Dog

My reasoning and explanations for the headline “Love at First Lopsided Smile: Family Drives 2500 Miles to Rescue Uniquely Adorable Dog” consist of a few different elements. To begin with, this headline is on the longer side because I feel that a slightly longer headline can keep the reader’s attention longer. It is not too long that it is boring but long enough that I was able to include all of the key elements of the story that I wanted to include within this headline. With the story, I chose a common theme for my headlines is that they use emotional words to evoke a sense of emotion in the reader. Using emotional words such as “rescue” it generates an emotional response in the reader and captures the reader’s attention, making them want to read more to find out what is happening in the story. As we learned, using a headline that hits the reader right in the feels is what can drive action by targeting those emotions and what better way to do that than with a headline that is about a heartwarming dog rescue story. The headline that I created also provides a good amount of information about the story and what readers are going to find when they click on the headline to see more. It is important when creating headlines that they are not misleading and not just created for “click bait”, headlines should be a representation of what the reader is going to find when they click on your story.

Headline #2: A Perfect Fit: Misfit Lopsided Dog Finds Happiness and Love with His New Family

For this headline along with my other headlines, it has a main theme of invoking a sense of emotion in the reader. But along with that element, there are a few more that make this headline different from my first headline. The first element is that it focuses on the positive outcome of the story. From the headline, the reader can see right away that the misfit dog finds happiness and love with his new family. By showing that this is a feel-good story with a happy ending from the headline, it is more likely to get the attention of readers who specifically enjoy these types of stories. Going along with that element, my headline is relevant to my audience which is people who enjoy feel-good animal heartwarming stories. By stating that it has a happy ending in the headline and that this story is about a dog it could really resonate with any animal lovers or people who have rescued their own pets. This headline is relevant to my audience because of the themes of hope, animals and heartwarming stories. Finally, I believe the most important phrase in this headline that I used is the beginning which is “a perfect fit”. Using the phrase “a perfect fit” at the very beginning of my headline can be a big aspect of drawing in my audience to read this article because it can be very appealing to people who are interested in a happy ending. This phrase creates an expectation that within the story everything works out for the misfit dog.

Headline #3: Family Overcomes Obstacles to Give Lopsided Dog a Forever Home in Heartwarming Adoption

For the third and final headline the reason, I chose “Family Overcomes Obstacles to Give Lopsided Dog a Forever Home in Heartwarming Adoption” as the headline is because it is clear and concise. This headline directly delivers the main message of the story in a clear and easy way for the reader to understand. It is very clear from just reading the headline once that this story is about a family that overcomes obstacles to give a lopsided misfit dog a forever home. Along with this headline being clear, it is also concise. The headline is fairly short and is able to convey the entire message of the story in one headline. With readers that usually skim over things, it makes it easy for the headline to get the reader’s attention because it is short and easy to read and retain. The next reason and element why I created this headline are because the words are driven by action. The message of the story or article makes readers want to know the obstacles the family had to overcome in order to adopt the misfit dog. Leaving some things unknown in the headline it makes readers more interested and intrigued in your story and makes them want to click on it to find out more. Finally similar to my other two headlines, this headline instils a sense of emotion in the reader especially because it is about an animal. This headline evokes emotion that makes readers want to know what happened to the dog and his adoption story.

Based on what we discussed in class headlines are the single most important part of any marketing document including web content. I feel that headlines are so important in web content because as we discussed in class your headline is generally the universal representation of your story and most importantly if it is a good headline there is an opportunity for it to get in front of a lot of people, but if it is a bad headline you won’t have that opportunity. Having a good headline is so important because it is essentially the first thing the reader sees or the first impression that determines if the reader is going to click to find out more. Headlines are so important in web content because if you are not able to catch the attention of the reader in the split second you have of their attention and make an impression on them, the reader will lose interest and not have the desire to investigate further or click on the article which will lead to you losing that reader potentially forever. Another aspect that makes headlines so important in web content is that we learned a lot about today’s digital user and how important it is to understand and provide what today’s digital user wants. Today’s digital user is impatient, they want to be told what to click, watch, read and learn which is why headlines are the only opportunity for us to make an impression and are so important for us to be able to get our audience to engage in our content.

As per the headline I chose in question #2, I believe after reading the article, the headline “Team Italy’s espresso machine a hit at World Baseball Classic” is representative of the article. The headline is an accurate representation of the article because in one sentence it captures the main idea of the article. Unlike some other articles that are created only to get the reader to click on them, this specific headline is accurate and is representative of the content within the article. This headline is interesting to the reader without being misleading of the content within the article which is an important aspect of a headline. The article begins by talking about how team Italys dugout in the World Baseball Classic has been getting a lot of attention. Bringing an espresso machine is something that the team has always done and is part of the player’s pre-game rituals. The article explains that the Italian team is shocked by the amount of conversation about this topic because Italian espresso is “sort of like water”. The headline directly relates to the article based on the play-on word that was used “hit”. The article makes note that team Italy has been playing well and “has been a hit” in the World Baseball Classic which relates to the fact that team Italy has been having success. Through the article they highlighted the connection between the Italian baseball team and their cultural identity which to most Italians includes their love of espresso. Because of this, the team is now the most followed team because of something so normal to them. Overall the headline of this article “Team Italy’s espresso machine a hit at World Baseball Classic” represents the article well and creates interest and a sense of humour who understand the connection between Italian culture and espresso.

Headline: Team Italy’s espresso machine a hit at World Baseball Classic

Link:https://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/article/team-italys-espresso-machine-a-hit-at-world-baseball-classic/

The headline that I came across recently and thought was great was “Team Italy’s espresso machine a hit at World Baseball Classic”. The headline immediately caught my attention because I thought to myself “only Italy would have an espresso machine at the world baseball classic” which is something that someone who knows about Italian culture would understand the comedic aspect behind it. Based on what we discussed in class one of the main reasons I think this headline is great is because it got the reader’s attention which ultimately means the headline is working. The way the headline is about two completely unrelated topics (baseball and espresso) created curiosity for me and I’m sure other readers and is what led me to click on the article to find out more. Another reason I think this headline is great is because of the play on words with the use of the word “hit” that was used within the headline. Because the word “hit” can be used in the context of baseball it can intrigue the reader to find out more about what the relation is between baseball and espresso. For a more specific audience, the use of “team Italy” and “espresso” in the headline is something that would catch the attention of people who follow Italian sports and are interested in or resonate with Italian culture. Finally, this headline is one that is memorable, it is a short headline that is to the point but is interesting enough and contains topics that would get the reader’s attention and remember the headline. Overall this headline is great because it does its job. The headline catches the attention of the reader, is memorable, and is accurate. This specific headline is one that resonates with me mainly because I am Italian and have a connection with Italian culture and traditions. Although I think this headline is great because I am Italian, there are other factors that make this resonate with me. It made me proud to see the Italian baseball team being directly recognized for their love of espresso. Overall this resonates with me because I am able to connect this headline with my personal Italian heritage and that we share a common love of espresso.
