Your first experience day is to provide a comprehensive report of how companies market to you.

Walk around, take pictures, journal, record video. Do NOT use outside sources for your paper; this is a reaction. You need to experience marketing to get credit.

Discuss the messages, the advertisements, the companies, the credible sources..

Describe

- what companies you are drawn to? why?

- what advertisements do you notice? why?

- in these marketing components, are there specific things that entice you? Sights, sounds, looks, people, etc. Why?

- where do you notice marketing the most? go to those places - take pictures, discuss, get input from friends

Anything that gives me a clear sense of where you feel most marketed to, and what those companies are doing right/wrong. The best papers also provide a summary of marketing techniques and what you learned/how you will apply in the future. This is really helpful as a tie-in to all the material you put in your paper.

Please note, I am looking for MULTIPLE companies or brands for comparison. Comparisons of just 1-3 products or companies are not effective because it doesn't tell me what you experienced.
