Social Listening - OFFFIELD

 I chose to write about OFFFIELD, they make cbd gummies and drinks specifically for athletes. I usually think of cbd as something that makes you relax so marketing it as something to take prior to a workout caught me eye and I decided to write about the company.

My First Marketing Blog - About Me

Image
     I'm Ryan Janowitz, I'm studying Graphic Design at Linn Benton Community College. I'm writing this blog for my Principles of Marketing class. I'm not a business major but I believe this class will help me be successful in my future graphic designing endeavors.       I work for two small longboard skateboard shops, Original Skateboards in Troutdale, and The Uprise in Corvallis. I'm looking forward to applying the skills I learn in this class to my work. I'm most interested in learning how to market myself. I need to be able to sell myself if I aim to succeed in the field of graphic design.      Apart from school I have a lot of hobbies. I'm passionate about skateboarding, drawing, music, photography, going on hikes and road trips and just about anything else outdoorsy.
