About

Whether you're a marketing student, a social media influencer, a business owner, or just an online enthusiast, this blog covers all things digital marketing and media-related.

I'm not social media expert. Privacy is an important value to me, so you won't find my real name or pictures of me anywhere on this blog. I don;t even have any personal social media accounts. But when it comes to branding yourself, fake news, keeping up with the industry trends or finding an engaging brand voice, I can share my opinions.

So what makes me qualified? Just four years of studying Mass Communication and Marketing, interning, networking, shadowing and observing. That's the key - by not being entrenched in personal social media, I can observe what's going on in the digital world and provide an uniquely objective view of using social media in a professional manner to launch your brand.

I hope you enjoy the blog.

How's Your Social (Media) Life?

I don't need to tell you that social media is an integral part of our culture, but with new social platforms popping up every day, I don't know how anyone keeps up with it all! We all know the big players in the game - Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest, YouTube, but what about WeChat, Viber, Ravelry, Foursquare, Badoo, StumbleUpon, Funny or Die, or DeviantArt? As many niche interests as there are, there are social media platforms for them all. So if social media encompasses many different things - text, pictures, video, music, stories, dating - how do we define what is and what isn't "social media?" Our friend Miriam-Webster defines social media as forms of electronic communication through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages, and other content. So a FIFA forum, watching a beauty guru put on makeup, and a dating website for vegetarians are all social media? Yep. But does a business need to be ...

Companies, You Too Can YouTube

We’ve all fallen into a YouTube black hole. First you’re watching a tutorial on how to clean white canvas shoes, and next thing you know, three hours later you’re watching a woman in Japan throw a birthday party for her five cats. How did this platform transform from videos like “ Me at the zoo ” to full-length productions ? Business News Daily gives some stats about the platform. YouTube was launched in 2005 and bought by Google in 2016, making it the world’s second largest search engine. Nearly 500 hours of video content are uploaded to YouTube every minute! YouTube has launched several peoples’ careers in music, makeup, fashion and other industries. Businesses can also use YouTube to grow their fan base, educate their consumers about how to use a product, keep them updated about the launch of new products, go viral with a funny commercial, or even give an inside scoop into company culture. Nonprofits can also make use of YouTube, creating educational videos in support of t...

My First Time Using Twitter

For the better part of the past four months, I have been on Twitter. This was my first extensive experience on the social networking app. Prior to this year, I tweeted a few things out for my university's student-led TV news station, but I had never used Twitter personally before.  I thought Twitter was a place where people shared their witty thoughts, YouTube stars used it to connect with their audiences, and people got mad whenever Donald Trump tweeted. I have realized that Twitter is a place for all these things and more. Twitter is great to get tidbits of world news, keep up with industry trends and see great content from companies engaging with their audiences. Overall, I would say my experience on Twitter was great. The only time I felt unsure about using Twitter was after watching  The Facebook Dilemma and learning that Facebook keeps all of your data including their best prediction of your location. I got nervous about sharing content that traced me to being at...
