@sienaraeroyan i’ve seen your…..nvm

Another presentation that stuck to me was the one that focused on how little taxes are paid from the extremely wealthy while also adding important commentary to the working conditions at Amazon #RHUB290

The Big 4 had an interesting marketing plan as well as an engaging presentation that allowed me to learn more about the economics of San Diego and the tech industry as a whole. #RHUB290

Since our project is focused on solutions to America’s homelessness issue, I decided to analyze this map of the income in the US. This will set the standard of what counts as homeless. #RHUB290

Statistics will be a large part of my group's topic. Most of the information will come from secondary sources and would help us create certain topics and solutions. #RHUB290

I looked at two sample reports which were both about social injustices displayed in advertisements. Brands now have become more socially conscious, but it was only a few years ago that their ignorance stood out like a sore thumb. #RHUB290

[Michael Derrick Hogan @mikehogy]

Targeted ads based on user information has been a heated topic if debate when it came to social media ethics. One of the many obstacles of social media marketing is that it only reaches a small percentage of potential customers. #RHUB290

Thompson's exposure effect is true with music and other forms of media. Now, this doesn't mean the content of your product is unimportant. Just because a song reaches a lot of people does not guarantee a hit. Especially in oversaturated styles of a certain style. #RHUB290

I am most comfortable with SquareSpace because I have a bit of experience with it. Our business is an entertainment conglomerate with multiple services so SquareSpace would be easiest in displaying those services. #RHUB290

With a bit of experience with Wix and SquareSpace, I believe i’m able to create a decent yet barebones website with the knowledge I already have. Pneuma Media explains how marketers, like me, can use a website as a tool to create demand for your company. #RHUB290

I am already pretty familiar with the library resources since I use the school’s Photoshop subscription as well as JSTOR. SDSU’s library is great for any student looking to make a project. #RHUB290

Our class business is MACK LLC. which is suppose to be an entertainment conglomerate similar to Disney or Warner Bros. This gives us the flexibility of researching both domestic and international markets for our TV shows, movies, theme parks etc.#RHUB290

One of my letters is a job offer to an intern. This is obviously a good news situation that would help me work on my semi-formal writing. Good-news business letters don't really have to focus on sugar-coating and I have a bit more leeway compared to a bad-news letter. #RHUB290

Writing to persuade gives readers the tools necessary to sway a recipient a certain way. Laying out a plan for your approach is one of the most important step when it comes to convincing somebody whether it’s selling a product or asking for a favor. #RHUB290

@RosarioScappat1 It definitely helped a lot knowing that other people have trouble giving bad news as well. Keeping bad news detailed yet concise is always respectful to an employer.

First and foremost, you always want to be polite to the reader no matter what the news is. However, In a bad news situation you do not want to sound excited about giving the news. Using phrases like “regret to inform” would display a tone of remorse. #RHUB290

@_emmalian Fonts and other styles bring an added sense of authenticity to an otherwise bland format of communication like e-mail.

[Michael Derrick Hogan @mikehogy]

Purdue Owl helps readers indicate what makes an email look both professional and appealing wether its between companies or within a company. Using a company logo in the header of an email could potentially add a sense of professionalism while representing the company. #RHUB290

Rick Robert’s article on the use of social is a dated article, however, it was far ahead of it’s time and can be applied to the popular social media networks of today. Making connections through LinkedIn is key in building your professional reputation online. #RHUB290

@casey_dilla77 A good professional presentment of your who you are goes a long way in convincing an employer of your skills. I also agree that Su’s video is able to help the viewer create a sleek and appealing profile. #RHUB290
