Junior Year

Read below of how I dove deeper into my concentration of Marketing and produced quality presentations.

BUS 467:
Product Management

Spring 2025

Marketing planning and implementation are heavily involved in product and brand management.

 

I learned the development of specific strategies to support existing products and to help manage a portfolio of products and brands.

 

This is demonstrated through my group’s case study presentation on Nike that focused on the ‘metaverse’.

 

At the time, the rise of the metaverse allowed Nike to engage its consumers in new ways and continue developing its digital presence.

 

The company’s primary focus on bringing customers together through storytelling has been pivotal to its success.

 

Highlighting this on presentation day awarded my team first place.

As a result of the class' impact, my long-term career goal is to become a product manager

Before taking this course, I had little idea

how much work goes into Market Research.

Properly conducting research is done by defining a proposed business problem and a set of research questions.
 

For my semester-long group project, we focused on a local coffee shop, Cup-A-JoeNotably being my first research project done, it was a long process.

 

There were three parts (broken into segments) that required constant dedication.

Focus groups, surveys and in-person interviews were held to prepare a well-rounded solution to the problem.
