海伦：我们想要使用正确的行销媒体来达到市场目标。
Leonard：Certainly. We've done some tactical planning already. We think we've come up with a good plan.
李奥纳德：当然。我们已经完成一些战略计划。我们认为我们已经提出一项不错的计划。
Helen：What media do you plan to use?
海伦：你们准备使用何种媒体?
Leonard：Well, taking into account the image you want to project, we've asked our copywriters to prepare copy for computer magazines and the Internet first.
李奥纳德：考虑到你们想要表现的形象，我们已要求撰写文案的同事准备好计算机杂志稿及网际网络用稿。
Helen：So that way, our advertising dollars would be focused on people we know are computer users.
海伦：这样一来，我们的广告花费就会针对在，如我们所知，计算机使用者身上。
Leonard：Yes. We'll also run billboard and newspaper ads to help create broad brand recognition.
李奥纳德：是的。我们还同时刊登广告看板及报纸广告来帮助创立明显的品牌识别。
Helen：Will there be any direct mail?
海伦：会有任何广告邮件吗?
