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!
