Social Media Monster

     I have created a podcast recently titled the Social Media Monster. This podcast talks about how much social media has ruined our generation. I even think that it has ruined my major of marketing. I chose marketing as my major because I love being creative but I believe that the posting to fit into the current trends has taken the creative fun out of the job. Also, I believe that Social media is causing such toxicity in the world today. The way brands push these picture perfect models out to us makes comparison inevitable. This is such a negative outcome from social media that has been such an issue for a while and an issue that needs to change.

    I loved this experience of creating a podcast and I believe it could be a hobby that I could enjoy. I love talking just in general so being able to tell stories and talk about my beliefs and people can listen is very fun to me. I made this podcast thinking I would do it once for an assignment and never touch it again. I am now thinking that this could be something I keep up with. Along with blogging, I have enjoyed learning these new platforms I have never used before and I cant wait to experiment with them both to find out what works and doesn't work for my target market. I hope to use this as a growth opportunity in my marketing career, learning and practicing my language for professional social media accounts.

    That is an interesting way of looking at social media and its impact on your marketing. I can see some people say the opposite while arguing it allows you to share your creativity to more people than ever. I can also understand your point of view as social media can sometimes put you in a box of restrictions. I agree that brands on social media need to refrain from portraying the unattainable picture perfect life. It is far too common in the world and only leads consumers to compare themselves to these portrayals.

    Hey, this topic just came up last night for me in fact, as I made a comment to my roommate about how I wished I'd been able to experience college before phones. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

    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
