\"\"<\/a>Guys, you should know\u00a0that my name is Jonathan Chen by now. I came from China, that you can also tell from my name. Like most of you, I am a second year Sauderites. As a matter of fact, I have never spent much time thinking about a possible career in marketing. It’s probably because I have little knowledge regarding this aspect of commerce, I am comparably more interested in finance and accounting. However, it is never a bad thing to learn more and expand one’s vision, so I’m glad that Sauder included Comm 296 in my STT.<\/p>\n

Living in the 21st Century, my daily\u00a0life\u00a0has been\u00a0immerged in\u00a0different elements of\u00a0marketing: TV commercials, billboards in the subway station and on the roads, advertisements beside my emails and much more. To make\u00a0them less annoying, marketers\u00a0designed\u00a0diligently to\u00a0make those ads entertaining for\u00a0bored consumers like me. Sometimes a great commercial could just make my day (exaggeration used here, but you get what I mean)!<\/p>\n

Before I introduce my favorite commercial, I would start with joke: “This morning I saw a butterfly with no wings, so I poured it some Red-Bull…It drowned.”\u00a0<\/p>\n\"YouTube<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n

This refered to the “Redbull gives you wings” campaign done by the energy drink company. It became so popular that jokes around its slogan can be found online! This turns out to be one of my favorite commercials.<\/p>\n

Sit back and enjoy! Have a nice day by the way.<\/p>\n

P.S:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last Tuesday, I dined in a Chinese restaurant on Dunbar street (where I currently live) and my fortune cookie\u00a0told me that,\u00a0“life will shower happiness upon you.” I felt even\u00a0happier since then. This strengthened my belief that “happiness is an attitude.” Everyone can be happy, why arn’t you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
