Hi Everybody! (Hi Doctor Nick!)<\/em><\/p>\n

Marketing has been a course that I have really been looking forward to taking for quite a few reasons. \u00a0I have always been more of a concept guy rather than a quant guy ( though I’ve done pretty well in accounting) . I really enjoy watching ads and have started analyzing them to see why they chose to go with this concept and why, even though I’ve never taken a marketing course. However the over arching reason of why I want to learn about marketing is because I have always been very\u00a0susceptible\u00a0to marketing. Once I see an ad, I have a craving to buy that product or go to the\u00a0restaurant\u00a0or consider using their service, to the point where my friends have called me “a marketer’s dream”!<\/p>\n

As far as experience goes, I’ve pretty much only done basic marketing at Sauder for clubs and services. Some things have worked while others haven’t. However, I have done very well in the past in sales at Sears where we ended up having the most sales in BC for a year. My entire department knew how to sell very well and I learned a lot then.<\/p>\n

I can’t name my favourite ad because I really enjoy so many ads, simple ones and ads so amazing that it blows your mind! But an ad I do appreciate was Apple’s\u00a0silhouette commercial because it really showed that listening to an MP3 isn’t just when you want to drown out your parents or waiting for the bus. It’s a fun experience all on it’s own!<\/p>\n

Finally something personal about me is that I love the free coffee provided by the CUS! empowers my coffee need and saves me money! What’s not to love?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
