Wrapping Up Marketing Literacy & Social Media

As I wrap up my adventure in my marketing class on media literacy and social media, I can’t help but pause and reflect on what I have learned. Marketing no longer runs on the basic paper, it is a whole new entity on its own. 

Marketing is thinking outside the box. Marketing today gets you to blend iPhones in a blender for a campaign that leads into its own entity. (This is a real thing, search “Will It Blend?”) Technology offers us marketing that can customize our interactions; emails that guide us to product that actually apply to our needs, or paper ads that offer a solar panel for charging your phones. 

Millennials are navigating this terrain as they enter they begin to be the largest  employment drive in the workforce. The creative juices force companies to cut the junk and prove their authenticity in order to obtain consumer support. 

It is a truly wonderful time to see what is being shaped. There are so many tools and new interesting concepts. This world is limitless.

In the end, I appreciate all of the creativity, the weird, and the knowledge as I trek through this degree. I hope to continue to dive deeper into my studies and lean into the wave of knowledge. As always, we will see what my next chapter entails.
