My name is Cecilia Chun and I’m a second year commerce student, and I intend to study Accounting as my major. I’m taking this course because I don’t really know much about marketing aside from ads and commercials so it should be interesting to see the ‘other side’ of marketing. Also, as a second year student this course is required so I didn’t really have a choice in the matter.
My experience with marketing is very limited. Most of it stems from me being a consumer and being surrounded by ads and commercials daily. I have been able to dabble in marketing a little bit in terms of promoting the Coca Cola brand during the 2010 Olympics. Also, as part of the promotions team for CTV, I have had opportunities to encourage the development of ties between the community and CTV by actively promoting the company through sponsored art and culture events.
One of my favourite print ads was for promoting Vancouver 2010. I love the simplicity of the ad and the colors used. The intricate details; such as the little umbrella, is what really makes this ad fantastic in my opinion.
Something personal about myself would be that I love to cook. I especially love experimenting with different cuisines and trying out unique and interesting ingredients. My favourite things to cook are usually desserts with an Asian twist.
