In need of a favor from a UO employee

[FindingNemo]

I'm taking a Advertising course this semester. We are to pick a nationally marketed product and do a full 10-20 page indepth research analysis. My question is what would be my best avenue for getting any type of assistance from Universal? I know the majority of companies do not give out much of their fiscal information except in the monthly/yearly/annual reports. Where can I find this report? Also if there is someone that could help me, perhaps a friendly PR or AD executive who doesn't mind helping a college student?

Thank You!

I would call the PR number. I dont know that number off-hand, though. You could try calling the main line (407-363-8000), and see if that takes you anywhere...

Good luck!!! I had the same type of project in college and it's hard to get all that information.

hope you dont mind me chiming in my 2 cents, I'm not a UO employee but I do work for a huge company (Johnson & Johnson) where we do get email requests just like yours from college students through our Customer Relations department for the type of info you are looking for & we then send out what we call a "Press Packet". That might be a common term that is used for what companies will mail out (???)
HTH

Thanks everyone for your input. So far I have called, e-mailed, and left messages with contact information for anybody in the PR department about the materials I am in need of. I'm sure there will be a lot more (407) calls being made but its a good start! Cinamin27, I requested the "press packet" you talked about and the woman on the phone knew exactly what I was referring to.


Thanks again!
