Facebook today

     Facebook has been through every level of popularity. It used to be the go to in the social media industry but in my eyes that has changed. In class this week we listened to an expert talk about social media marketing being used in Facebook Messenger. This was very interesting to me because when I think of Facebook I feel like it has entered the social media graveyard. People my age tend to only use it to keep their old relatives in the loop of their lives. When a younger professional is educating us about how useful and successful Facebook is in the real world it really made me take a new look at Facebook as a tool to add to my professional toolbelt.

    After looking at Facebook with a different view I realized how many ads are really on this site and I noticed that I have even received messages of  different advertisements from brands. This was very eye opening to me, I have never noticed all of the advertisements I see that I scroll past. With Social media being a possible career choice for me I have started to really pay attention to these things and start taking notes on the strategies of different brands and what they focus on.

    When I think about Social media marketing Facebook is definitely one that I put on the back burner. After the video of the expert and from working on our assigned simulation I am now going to work on learning more about Facebook. This is definitely a site that does produce a large amount of revenue for companies.

    Hey Sydney, great post. One part that stuck out to me as well was the realization of the amount of ads on Facebook and social media alone. It is influencing us and we are blind to it.

    Hello, in your opener you mention that you don't believe Facebook to be the leader in social media anymore. My question would be if not them, then who?

    This weekend the volleyball team and the Ada community celebrated 50 years of Title IX. Title IX is something we as college students hear about all the time but never really understood what it meant. That was until this weekend, generations upon generations of Ohio Northern Volleyball Alum came to our tournament an home over the weekend and stayed for a get together and story telling at the inn afterwards.       Once we arrived at the inn the alumni started pouring in. It was great to talk to them and hear all about their time at ONU and about how much has changed. Then the speeches started and so did the water works. It began with Coach Kuhn talking about the history and then inviting up our new university President. Our President talked about how Title IX has effected her life, she is the first women president her at Ohio Northern which is a monumental mark in our history. Next to give a speech was a fellow player by the name Lea McFadden. She talked about how much ONU volleyball

      I am loving the simulation that we have been assigned, It has been my favorite part of Intro to Social Media thus far. I enjoy being able to put all of the knowledge I have gained in my four years into place and instantaneously being able to see the impact. The post results that you get after running the simulation are so informational and help you form your next posts to be successful. We get to create our own social media posts and post during a specific time on specific platforms. This is what I am planning to go into in the professional world therefore all of this practice is very beneficial. I love the VP assigning us tasks and explaining our goals. My other favorite part is being able to test what I have learned in this class with my communications with the customers. The messaging back and forth and answering their questions in so fun for me because in every job the social aspect is always my favorite part. That is why I picked marketing as a major I am someone who needs t

Sim

 We finished the simulation this week and I have touched on many times how much I enjoyed the sim. I cant express enough how much I learned from it and how thankful I am to be able to have that opportunity. I loved how it got more and more difficult as we moved forward the same way that a job will get more and more difficult the more responsibilities that they put on you. We have learned all the different areas of all different social media platforms all year and throughout learning about them and being able to work with them at the same time was amazing. I have touched on how I enjoy working in social media before and hope that its in my future job but now I am applying to social media jobs because I felt that I could succeed with that career. I loved negotiating, I came to school wanting to be a lawyer therefore arguing with clients for lack of a better word was very fun for me. I loved when I finally got them to agree after many offers and not picking certain people due to their pri
