Marketing Mashup: Super Bowl and Valentine’s Day

February 2, 2012

I love the month of February. As a marketer, I actually watch the commercials as opposed to fast forward through them. Annoyingly, I want to discuss why this or that campaign is so spot on for the brand with my roommate (she still wants to fast forward). There is a huge push for good marketing [...]

Brazen’s Executive Social Media Bootcamp

August 17, 2011

Living in my world, I forget there are many people who aren’t using the tools available at their fingertips.

We embraced [...]

Speaking the Same Different Language

March 29, 2011

One of the most valuable things I am bringing with me to my MBA studies is that I look through the world with a Marketing lens. I am continually fascinated by my Economics class because it makes total sense product, pricing, promotion, and placement decisions would all be made based on supply and demand. Or that [...]

Actions and Reactions

March 22, 2011

Remember being in grade school, studying math or science, and you’d hear a classmate say, “When am I ever going to use this in real life?” Little did you know the basics of equations show up everywhere. Most of the time, it’s a pretty easy concept: Y=aX+b. But then again, taking into account multiple variables [...]
