This is an edit of my first blog post which you can find below.
As overzealous as I am, sometimes I tend to go slightly overboard with my posts. Usually that is OK. But what is not ok is when one omits key details in his/her message. This post is to amend those missed key points in my first post and hopefully provide a more accurate introduction of myself (hopefully following the 300-word guideline for our blogs that I have only just recently discovered).
Hello there! My name is Christopher Lam. I’m taking Marketing because (other than the fact that it is a required course for my program) I love the idea of creating value and sparking hype about products and innovative ideas. Some Marketing experience I have include working as an intern at REV, a Vancouver-based developer of clean electric vehicle and energy grid technologies; I did some general market research and analysis to aid the firm in their endeavors.
As you can tell from my previous post, I am a fan of anime and the Marketing tactics used in, and are generated as a result of, consumer interest in Anime and related hobbies. I also like to follow the various marketing strategies (which are really quite absurd) in collectible trading card games such as Yu-Gi-Oh! and various other games. I tend to go overboard when I get excited about these things, but you probably already noticed by now.
I hope this post served as a suitable introduction to myself; if anyone from my Comm296 class happens to read this, I’d like to give them (you?) a giant HELLO! and a virtual hug.
signing off,
-Chris
Huzzah! I meet the 300-word limit this time around!
One reply on “COMM296 Blog Post 1 (EDIT)”
Welcome Christopher and thanks for both posts. I too love Dr. Pepper and when I was a kid you had to go to the US to get it…that and Mountain Dew. Part of me feels sad that you can get it in Canada now and part of me is happy when I feel like a Dr. Pepper. Thank you for your enthusiasm, hopefully I can meet it and thank you for introducing me to anime…I look foward to your future posts.
