Weekly Report

October 18th, 2016 - October 24th, 2016

For the first time in a couple weeks I conducted another informational interview. Through this interview I learned some valuable information about marketing. Some of that being that It takes a right brained creative individual to succeed in the marketing industry. I feel this is one of the strengths that I portray through my ability to go outside the box and think of new creative ideas. However, this is called into question when thinking of a possible idea for my original work. This has been a struggle for me over the course of the past week in that there are few guidelines as to where this project can take us. As touched on above, I tend to be a pretty creative student and individual, but the idea of original work had been difficult to draw practical ideas. While it can be troubling having few ideas as to what i could possibly create for my original work, it has really helped increase my knowledge on marketing as i've been doing some extra fundamental research, and has grown me as an ISM student as I am really challenged to spend thorough time and come up with a solid project idea. To conclude, the week has been beneficial in not only growing my knowledge in marketing through an informational interview, but also growing my creativity as I am challenged with something that I have never done before.
