History of Marketing

I found Nabeel’s blog post very interesting, because it shows us how long marketing has been around, and how developed it was even 15 years ago.

Growing up in the 21st century, I think I’ve been exposed to marketing so much that it’s become something I’ve taken for granted and never really noticed or thought about, kind of like the air that we breathe everyday.

Having now taken (half of) COMM 296, I think I would definitely recommend the course to others, because it’s a real eye-opener, making us realize that marketing is the base of not only business, but also our very culture itself.  It’s everywhere, from the food we eat, to the clothing we buy, and the television we watch.  Also, by learning marketing, we learn how to market ourselves, when we are looking for a job.
