Chapter 6

The point that sticks out most in Chapter 6 is social media communication audit. This sticks out for me because yesterday we had an audit assignment due. Before this class, I had no idea what a social media communication audit was, but now I do and it is way more work than I ever imagined.

When I read this section of the book I was still kind of confused about what it is. I understood why you ran one, but not how to make one. I learned how from the assignment we did in class. For this assignment, we were assigned a table with guides to our social media audit. We had to choose three companies in the same industry and analyze each one. I chose three different dress designers. (surprising, I know).

Running this audit really opened my eyes to the best ways to run your social media. You can tell which companies are more successful because they have more money to pay for the necessary marketing tools on social media. One realization that made complete sense to me was Sherri Hill is one of the largest dress designers, but they only got that way because young girls see people like pageant queens or celebrities wearing their gowns, which got their name out, and more girls wanted to be like the popular people in the dresses. So Sherri Hill was very smart in getting their dresses known from social media. They will continue to thrive if they keep it up on social media.

This audit assignment helped me with understanding the importance of having all of your "ducks in a line" when it comes to social media. I will remember these audits from now on when running social media accounts.

Snapchat

I remember when I first downloaded Snapchat. I remember thinking "I have to look presentable every day now because people will actually see what I look like every day." For everyone that doesn't know, Snapchat is a social media app that started at just a way to communicate by sending pictures back and forth. It has now advanced into a form of social media. You can share stories, which are pictures or videos that everyone you are friends with on snapchat can see, and you can see different magazine type subscription stories. Now that I have had Snapchat for multiple years, I don't know what I would do without it. I snap my friends on a daily basis and it's basically the root of all my laugher. Now you can make snap groups, which means you can have multiple people in a group and you can send pictures to the group like normal group message, and I have so many with my friends. We send anything from drama we want to spill to TikToks in these groups and it is so much f...

Birdin' Around Town

One of my new favorite activities is Birding. I found Bird's in Atlanta, Georgia two years ago and every time I go to any city that has Birds, it is a necessity. You're probably asking what Birds are. Bird is a company that has placed motor scooters around cities to help with transportation and help with the carbon footprint. Bird has created a fun yet helpful way to get around the city. It is super easy to use as well. All you do is download the Bird app, add a credit or debit card, then you're set. When it's time to bird, you pull up the app and scan the bird you are wanting to use. Once you scan it, it will begin your ride and you can ride for as long as you want. The more you use the app, the cheaper your rides become. When you're done, you select end ride and take a picture of your scooter to prove you didn't wreck it. This concept is so smart and a great way to show how technology and social media is growing everyday. Who knew you would be able to driv...

Dream Job Became Reality

When you hear someone is a model what do you picture? A beautiful girl with flawless hair, skin, makeup? Maybe someone that's really tall and slender.  Yeah, I did too, well until I had the chance to model myself. I never in a million years would have imagined that I could have the opportunity to model for anyone at all. I am 5 feet, 5 inches tall, I weigh way more than a typical model and I have more visible muscle than most girls do, but this didn't prevent me from booking my first modeling job in 2016. I was so excited because I had traveled to shows with my mom to buy dresses for her bridal and formal store for a few years already and every time I wanted to model so bad but never thought I would get the chance. Like I said before, I did my first show in March 2016 and I have continued modeling since. I have modeled for two dress designers; Rachel Allan and House of Wu . With a job this like comes traveling, but I can't complain. I have traveled to cities like Chica...
