MKTG Week 1: Introducing Myself

Introducing Myself 

Hello all!  

My name is Marielle Vestuto-Langford, and I am a junior at Benedictine University. I am double majoring in Graphic Arts and Design as well as Business. Since I am still taking my business core classes, I have a bit of time to decide which specific area I would like to focus on. However, I am considering either Marketing, Management and Organizational Behavior, or a broader scope with Business Administration.  

As I have always had a passion for the world of creativity, I chose Business as my second major because I don't just want to be a person with big ideas, I want to be a person who puts those ideas into reality. I think having a strong knowledge of the business field will help me to achieve any path I undertake. This is my first marketing class, and I am excited to learn more about the concepts! Particularly in the field of design, when working in branding or UI/UX design for example, marketing principles are crucial.  

A few extracurricular activities I am involved in this semester are that I am part of the team for the annual Ben Arts Review journal, a writer for The Candor news, and I help run Poets in Person (we type poems for others in the campus community on typewriters! By the way, if you're interested, feel free to email me!). I also sing in the concert choir and play percussion for the concert band.  

Coincidentally, a potential project that has been on my mind recently is starting my own personal blog. I am glad for this little push this class has given me to get started and am excited to create more content in the coming weeks!  

Until next time, 

Marielle

MKTG Week 4: What is a World Wide Rave?

  Introduction What is a World Wide Rave? You may have heard the term before, and although it almost sounds like the fancy title of an exciting new video game or science fiction novel, it is indeed a phenomenon any business professional hopes to create. A term coined by David Meerman Scott, author of The New Rules of Marketing and PR , a world wide rave can also be thought of as going viral, particularly since most stories today gain publicity on the i nternet.      If you have gained a wide awareness among thousands of people, you have successfully created a world wide rave. If thousands of people know who you are, or what you're selling, or the service you offer, that is a w orld wide rave. If people beyond your local community are passing your story along in their day-to-day lives and you have become someone who many people recognize without having to ask, you have created a tremendously successful world wide rave.      We all know of names an...

MKTG Week 2: Taking Change in Stride

Image
An Era of Change In many ways, the early 2000s have drastically changed not only the workplace, but also the world and how we function in it day-to-day. From the rise of technology, smartphones and computers to the advantages and challenges artificial intelligence brings to every industry, in 24 years, the world has changed in ways most would not have foreseen.  Marketing seems to be one of those fields most susceptible to continuous changes. In the last several years or so, the main element of change has been the integration of artificial intelligence. The seemingly sudden growth of AI has frightened a large majority of people into believing that these tools are coming for our jobs. Yet the reality is, the smart professionals will learn how to use these tools to their best advantage, eliminating this as a threat.  Tools such as ChatGPT  and Dall-E , for example, make creating content for marketing purposes easier and faster. Rather than spending hours searching the web f...
