Mashable

As classes draw to a close, I find myself more and more intrigued by the possibilities marketing has to offer. I find myself wanting information about how to do things immediately. Lately I have been constantly looking at my degree evaluation to determine what classes will be most beneficial to me. Online Marketing, Direct Marketing, Public Relations, Advertising. I feel like I want to immerse myself in all of them. I don't think I have been excited about school work until this year. I think predicting new and exciting things is why. I'm really confident I am in the right industry with Marketing. Once classes end and after Sales Academy training in North Carolina, this blog will be revamped and be commentary on different ideas of how to market things.

With this blossoming interest for anything Marketing, I have been on @Mashable a lot lately looking at their Business & Marketing section. The new news and buzz on all things marketing has really peaked my interest. It will definitely be a source that I will go to to see what new ideas are being created.

There's one marketing experiment that really caught my eye on Mashable today. You can find it here ---> The Russian Roulette is such an innovating concept. It brings so many things into play that I learned about during marketing. It's creative, it's risky, but more importantly it draws attention to the brand. It also is a reflection of how much our "virtual lives" have become apart of us. I mean imagine the impact if tons of my friends played and lost their Facebook pages. I mean Facebook has become such an integrated part of people's lives. To lose it all to a game is intriguing and scary at the same time. Kudos to the Miami Ad School in Europe.

Hi there! I actually wanted to comment on your Disney blog but the comment box won't pop up =S

Hope it's alright that I leave this here despite the fact that it's Disney related >< I'm so jelly you live in the State of Disney land! I would go to Disneyland every weekend if I can hahaha but sadly I don't so I try to visit a Disney park each year, which is usually just NOT enough for me >< lol Hope your intern goes well! They actually offer it here in my city too but since I'm not in that area of major I wouldn't qualify =(
