Hello! My name is Rose and I am currently in my second year of University, hoping to major in Marketing or Finance. I moved to a small town in British Columbia located in Surrey from Korea when I was three years old, so moving to Vancouver last year was quite a change for me. I’ve always had an interest in fashion and graphic design. I hope to be able to get a chance to intern for a cosmetic or magazine company like L’oreal or Vogue. I am taking this course because I’ve always been interested in Marketing and I hope to learn more about the different aspects that Marketing has to offer besides advertisements. Something personal that I feel comfortable sharing with the class is that I love travelling! I hope to be able to travel the world someday and visit all the amazing places that the world has to offer.
I have had some marketing experience in the past as a marketing intern at Vancouver Fashion Week (VFW) and as the marketing coordinator for CCP – Building Success. As a marketing intern at VFW, I helped gather data about high schools in order to narrow down specific areas that we should target in order to promote VFW. I also helped promote VFW around the downtown area by being on part of the “Look Book Team”. As the marketing coordinator for CCP, I design promotional posters to be put around the schools. I have had a lot of experience with designing advertisements and it is a part of marketing that I am extremely interested in.
My favorite ad is the Estee Lauder Breast Cancer awareness Illumination project where the cosmetic company Estee Lauder partnered up with different cities to light up their world known landmarks to be the color pink. Here are some of the pictures of the event:
