JRM 327 Final Blog!

This semester in JRM 327 we learned so many new things about the world of social media. One of my favorite things that we did was the social media simulation. I enjoyed being a social media manager during the simulation. It was a lot of good hands on learning and I learned a lot of good advertising and marketing techniques.

During the course of this class I learned that your target audience is one of the most important things in advertising or marketing yourself or a brand. You need to know your audience in order to advertise to the right people and to use the right type of posts on the right platforms.

As everyone knows, with COVID-19 happening, everything has been a bit crazy and different. This includes the way college students have to learn. Online learning sounds like it might be easy but for many including myself, it has been a struggle. With online learning I felt it was much more difficult without having in person instructions on how to do things. I personally enjoy being in class and listening to my teachers and being able to ask questions.

Online learning was much more challenging when it first began but as the semester has progressed I found myself finding new ways to learn and ways to manage my time. I have adapted to the new learning style that we have had to do but I can’t wait to be back in the classrooms again.

This semester in class I have learned new social media strategies, ways to professionalize my social media, and stronger communication skills.
