Marketing Introductory Blog
Greetings to All!
For those of you who don’t know me I am a second year student here at Sauder with an approachable attitude and who never misses his daily application of hair gel. I was born in Serbia in 1992 and have been living in Vancouver for the past 14 years, where I’ve been introduced to the great Canadian cultural phenomenons of sports on ice and incomparable politeness.
I am taking this course as it is required in my STT, but this does not mean that I am not looking forward to it! I am currently undecided to my specialization so I am open to finding a passion in the world of marketing. I gained some experience in marketing as I worked as a sales associate for Hollister last year, where I directly promoted the stores products to customers by applying basic company knowledge and informing the customer of any sales or personal recommendations. Of course, as I already learned from our first marketing class, sales and advertisements are only the tip of the iceberg in the marketing industry. Otherwise I contributed to the marketing industry by allowing firms access to my personal consumer information, as discussed in class, through sources such as Facebook and Gmail. While receiving information about them through their public advertisements.
In looking through fellow classmates blogs I must agree with Clayton Dang (https://blogs.ubc.ca/claytondang2/) with his belief that the Old Spice commercials are the most humorous advertisements as of yet. I actually happen to be a fan of Old Spice on facebook and can personally vouch for the brand loyalty the company attained through the use of social networking.

Welcome Aleksandar and I hope you bring forward the marketing experience in Serbia to class. I hear you on the horror movies, I have watched a few and still feel scarred.
