My First Super Bowl watching experience

I’ve always been fascinated by big events like the Football World Cup, Cricket World Cup, and the Olympics. This year, I had the chance to watch my first Super Bowl and experience the excitement of American football. It reminded me of those global tournaments, but with a unique twist that caught me by surprise: the Super Bowl commercials.

Before the game, I heard that Super Bowl commercials are a big deal in the U.S. Companies put in a lot of effort to create ads that are funny, emotional, and memorable, knowing that millions of people will be watching. I was curious to see what the hype was all about, and I wasn’t disappointed.

The commercials were unlike anything I had seen before. Some were hilarious and had me laughing out loud, while others were touching and made me feel emotional. There were also ads featuring famous celebrities, which made them even more interesting. I could tell that a lot of creativity and thought went into making each commercial, and I understood why they are such an important part of the Super Bowl tradition. It showed me how advertising can be an art form, adding to the excitement of a major event. It also gave me a new appreciation for the creativity that goes into marketing.

Marketing Research: From Customer Insights to Action – Starbucks and the Matcha Latte Trend

Image
As a first-year business student who’s new to the U.S., I’ve been learning about how companies use marketing research to understand their customers and improve their products. One great example I’ve noticed is Starbucks and its introduction of the Matcha Latte. Matcha, a finely powdered green tea, has been growing in popularity in recent years, especially among health-conscious consumers. Starbucks tapped into this trend by adding the Matcha Latte to their menu, responding to customer preferences for healthier and unique drink options. By paying attention to customer insights, Starbucks was able to identify that many consumers were looking for alternatives to coffee and wanted something energizing but with a different flavor profile. The Matcha Latte fit perfectly into this demand. From a marketing research perspective, Starbucks likely used surveys, focus groups, and sales data to understand consumer tastes and trends before launching the Matcha Latte. They probably found that matcha’...

Advertising has evolved from catchy jingles and billboards to social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram, which are now powerful tools for promoting brands and increasing sales. Social media has changed marketing by offering companies the chance to reach wider audiences quickly. TikTok allows creative videos to go viral, helping brands gain visibility by focusing on trends instead of hard selling. Instagram influencers have replaced traditional celebrity endorsements, offering more authentic promotion. In addition, features like polls and duets on both platforms enable businesses to engage directly with their audience, creating a sense of community.
