A Day In My Life Using Digital Media



    Throughout the week I usually visit the following sites and use the following applications; Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, eBay, Fastenal.com, WhatsApp, Waze navigation, Mercari, and a few others. Instagram is a photo and media sharing social media platform, Facebook is a day to day sharing social media network, TikTok is a very popular video sharing platform, YouTube is a video streaming website, eBay is used to buy and sell almost anything your heart desires, Fastenal.com is an industrial and construction supply website; as well as my work website that I constantly use every day, Waze is used for navigation, and Mercari is a Japanese buying and selling application.

    For the most part, I use most of these applications and social media for business practices and getting more connections. Some of the negatives are personal data sharing and my information that all of these companies hold. Overall, I don't have that many negative reactions when using these websites and applications.

    I do find that on some days I spend more time on certain social media and applications than others. For example, I spend more time on eBay and Mercari for buying and selling items on the weekends when I have more time. During the work week, I would be on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Fastenal.com; so that I can work on my business posts and get some entertainment. My needs are definitely satisfied by using these websites and apps.

    I do receive a lot of emails from some of these websites and applications. Most of them are notification emails from people that I follow or some weekly newsletter. A lot of these websites send over product promotions and specials that they are running. The emails that catch my attention would be the newsletter ones, as well as some interesting articles to read. I look for creative content and delete any Spam that gets through the emails.

    While using these popular social media apps, I have noticed that many companies have started a video marketing campaign for their ads. Also, in some apps like TikTok and Instagram, companies can create multiple social media advertisements targeting different products and services, while targeting mixed age and location bases. This has been evolving a lot throughout the last decade. I am also amazed by the number of large companies incorporating some of these social media for their marketing needs. In the end, I can say that I enjoy using all of these websites and apps; they actually help out with some of my daily tasks.

Effectively Impacting the Consumer Through Digital Media

#EVERYDAYCARE – WHIRLPOOL,  DIGITASLBI AND CROWDTAP What was done successfully to meet the wants and needs of the target audience? After reading the article about the Whirlpool Corporation, I have to say that their new marketing strategy paid out big time. They were able to share real life stories via social media, TV ads, and other online marketing channels. This way, consumers were able to truly be themselves in front of the world. The most important impact all of this had was that people’s emotions were shifted in regards to the usual appliance company that Whirlpool once was. Yes, their customer service was always excellent, but they did not touch people’s hearts like this new campaign did.   How was the social and consumer experience addressed? Was this done successfully? Explain. The social and consumer experience was addressed through a microsite that was specially built for their new ‘Every Day, Care’ online marketing campaign. This way, real consumers would be able to...
