This is my blog about marketing!

Hey Comm 296,

Welcome to my blog about interesting things in the world of marketing! My name is Suneil Bains and I’m a second year transfer student from SFU. I’m taking this course for a few reasons the first being that I have to since it is a required second year course for a Bcom student. The second more important reason is because I believe marketing is a key part of any successful business. Whether you work for an already established company or are starting your own business you must know how to properly market the firm by keeping it relevant to your target market. Some of the companies that I like and can think of such as Apple, Mercedes-Benz, Nike, and Coca-Cola, just to name a few, have been extremely successful not only because they offer great products but because of there abilities to market themselves. These companies have been able to constantly reinvent themselves as times change through various forms of advertisements.

My personal favourite ad was a Budweiser beer TV commercial that I think a lot of people will remember and have probably seen, I will post the link at the bottom so you can watch it. The ad was extremely popular at the time and had everyone, not just beer drinkers, talking about it.

In my spare time I play various sports and do just about anything that can get my heart rate up to stay active. I also like cars and have often been called “obsessed”, I have a very large number of model cars because I used to collect them when I was younger. I consider myself pretty outgoing so I look forward to meeting some of you guys and learning more about marketing!
