It’s hard to believe that the school year came to an end so quickly. In terms of the group projects, I could not have asked for a better team to work with throughout this entire course. It was fun and exciting even though the timeframe was tight but we worked extremely well together as a team and in my opinion, did a fantastic job on the video and other assignments.

As mentioned by Professor Tamar earlier in the course, I think that a smaller group does work better and for us, that equates to more bonding as a team and being able to understand each other’s ideas and communication was much more effect as there were only 4 of us in total. I think that the group component of COMM 296 really allowed me to learn a lot about marketing outside of the classroom because I got to share my ideas with others and at the same time learn from my team. We complimented and critiqued each other’s work which resulted in huge improvements in our final project and even though we made many silly mistakes in the first few assignments, we learned from them and continually improve on our work to achieve the best that we can produce.

Most importantly, I realized how difficult it is to analyze and create an effective marketing strategy that will yield positive results. Marketing is not as easy as it seems on the surface (e.g. watching an ad on tv), there are many factors and complications involved behind the scenes to create these powerful and entertaining marketing material that we see on a day-to-day basis. I definitely enjoyed this class and highly recommend that other students enroll in it as well to learn about the world of marketing!
