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.

Emerald Ball and updates

Kappa Delta's formal was exciting and lots of fun last night; however, it also reminds me of the looming end of this semester. I officially have two weeks until I will be done with finals and will begin my Area Sales Manager position with University Directories and begin traveling all over California to make sure our sales representatives hit their target goal! I have already devised a study schedule to make sure I finish all the studying I need to. These next two weeks are going to be busy and I want to be 150% prepared for finals. Going into finals, I believe I have all A's or A minuses in my classes so the pressure is on.

As far as this blog, as soon as my finals come to a close, I will be adding more pages. I plan to add a portfolio of my experiences that can be displayed online. I think a portfolio will be good to keep track of my numerous projects I have been working on. I also want to start more blogs on social media, online marketing, and marketing techniques that I find. I think it will be a good way to track my progress in getting experience in the online sector. I really am intrigued about SEO, online banners, contests, so I want to find an outlet that will allow me to learn about these. I think this form of marketing will become very important for after I graduate.

I know this is a short post, but I really must get back to studying! Look out for more to come!
