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.

Wow. That is awesome that you got to interview your cheer coach. She seems to have a lot of wisdom. She was the perfect fit to find out about marketing and technology improvements. It seems that you are really grasping the realization that technology is now a necessity in today’s day and age. Continue to elaborate on the ways technology impacts lives.
I think it’s great you got to interview coach culp. We hear so much about her job but never the details. This interview shows how crucial internet can be for many people. It’s needed in everyday life for most people and it’s evolving more and more everyday.
I love that you were able to interview someone you already had a great connection with. It sounded like she was able to provide a lot of insight on how technology affects her job in the real world. She described so well how much technology and the internet are a big part of most peoples lives. I love how the painting you used correlates with her comment of “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”. I’m excited for the potential of this research paper.
Interviewing someone is a great way to get direct information, I did the same and thought the information I got from my interview so far has been the most useful. Do you feel the same? I also thought it was interesting how the person you were interviewing said “technology can sometimes be frustrating”. I feel the same way.
