TGIF

Everybody’s workin’ for the weekend! That’s for sure. I’m workin, and studying for the weekend. We go back to school this evening in Buffalo. Like I said earlier, I’m in a class with two other people, another student and our teacher. It is a really great set up as we get to have conversation (relative to the industry for the most part) which really opens the door for us to delve deep into what is going on today in the industry. Last week was great and I actually don’t dread going to class – I do,  however, dread the drive. It is so much more of an effort when you live an hour and a half away- but, people do that every day for work – and I think I can handle it and will by far be rewarded! So, here’s to another good class tonight! I’ll be posting my thoughts from some reading that I’ve done – in regards to IMC!

I’m back!

So, like most people I believe, I have slacked on the whole posting thing. I don’t know why it’s so hard to post! I get online every day to check my e-mail, and am not one of those people who claim to have “no time” because in all honesty, I do! I have quite a few hours of free time that I could definitley use to post, so I am really going to try!

Last week I got back to school, 5 months left and counting! The class that I recently started, Advertising, Internet Marketing and Publicity is a total of 3 people. Our teacher, and two students. It is actually great! We can sit and talk about IMC all weekend, and it’s so helpful to actually just be able to talk about current trends and perceptions. Our teacher has encouraged us to become involved in more online networks and from what I’ve seen thus far, they’re all pretty interesting. My favorite so far is www.netvibes.com. I’ve also checked out www.twitter.com, www.digg.com and www.linkedin.com – they’re all very useful, up-and-coming marketing tools. If I’ve learned anything in the first week of class it is to always stay current, especially in this industry.

So, check these sites out and see for yourself!

Battle of the Brands

AOL had this article up – pretty interesting. When you’re answering, think about whether or not you’re voting for the best, or who you just happen to “like” more. And then maybe you’ll have a taste for branding.
