About Me

-

 Hi! I am Kaylen McAdams and I am currently enrolled in the Dual Partnership Program through Oregon State University. I am finishing my second year of school as a Business Information Systems major as I have discovered that I am most passionate about working with numbers, technology, and data. While Principles of Marketing is a required course for me to take, I am most excited to learn about digital marketing strategies. 

Outside of school I love reading books and my goal is to read 100 books or more this year. I also love to travel and I spend most of my time outdoors. I recently brought home a kitten named Link, and he has quickly become my favorite thing ever. I love adventures, being creative, and trying new things.

Further inspiring the brand's values of diversity and inclusiveness. A common ground for many of the brand's supporters is that buying Nike products has led to personal connection and relationships. With these two people, @BoseApurva and @BreydenMoore, sharing their "Nike households":          Another common theme within the comments of consumers is the overall...

Marketing in the News: Tarte Cosmetics

  The New York Times, March 5, 2024.            I am fascinated with the prevalent role that social media plays in modern marketing. It is common that instead of brands investing in billboards they invest in "influencers" to promote them and/or their products. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok have flourished on this premise. TikTok is able to use its own algorithm to curate a feed that is unique to each individual user, which inherently adds to the effectiveness of marketing. From my own experience, when I see brand videos from people that I already enjoy watching I am more easily influenced as there is a sense of a one-sided personal connection. This changed the game of marketing, and Tarte Cosmetics has been a key player.       Since 2013, Tarte Cosmetics has been known to send a variety of creators on a brand sponsored trip. These trips are an all expense paid with luxurious destinations ranging from Hawaii to Dubai. The ...
