Part 1- I interviewed my cheer coach, Sienna Culp in person after practice. Source: I took notes on her responses, but I did not record the conversation on my phone. She works for Hilton and has worked in the marketing industry for over 3 years. She markets for Hilton’s ad campaigns. Over the past few years, she has expressed the ups and downs of her job to our team, but has never gone into detail about how her job works. I was happy to take on an interview and find out characteristics that apply to my project. The first question I asked was how technology has improved her job in a positive manner. She expresses “That’s a hard question because I feel like I’ve never experienced work without technology”. “I don’t think I can do my job without technology because I make print ad’s and campaigns using my computer. “If i didn’t have technology, I would have to hand make these print ad’s and I wouldn’t be able to send it out to a mass population”. She also expresses “I’m able to work at home when I am not able to make it to work in person which is beneficial”. On the flip side, she expresses how technology can sometimes be frustrating. “When the wifi crashes, I have no ability to finish up my job since it’s all online”. Lastly, she expresses “It can be difficult to learn a new software” but that “Practice makes perfect”.
Part 2-
This painting I found called “Leonard Marketing” relates to my question of how marketing relates to technology. As you can see in the painting, there are busses and train stations created by technology. This helps people transport and come to a common ground to promote their business and create unity between us. Technology is used to encourage, retain, and engage customers. Marketing helps people and their marketing team more effectively create, execute and measure the success of marketing assets and effort. The union of people in this painting is expressing how technology can better the sales of peoples product and the flexibility of having technology.
