My name’s Taylor Carter and I am taking this class primarily because it is required course for my bcom, but I hope that it will still be an interesting and informative experience. My experience with marketing is mostly limited to being a consumer, but I have also had expereince going door to door delivering flyers as part of a summer job. I don’t know if this is considered to be part of marketing or if it would be reffered to as something else. Off the top of my head my two favourite ads are the original “I’m on a horse” old spice commercial and the “Mad World” commercial for Gears of War. These are my two favourite commercials because they were both very original and memorable, and, with regards to the old spice commercial, had a noticeable impact on other companies’ advertising.

A little bit of background about me is that I am from north vancouver, my family has lived in Canada for as long as any of us can remember, and I ski and mountain bike. I also used to play rugby for UBC but I suffered too many concussions and now I only spectate.
