Social Listening - Wendy's

Image
The brand I chose for this blog post is Wendy’s. I am interested in the brand because I always see funny things they post online, especially on Twitter. I have noticed that this company is quite active on social media, they respond to a lot of the comments/replies they get and I am a big fan of their food. People say all types of things about this company. One thing I notice a lot of people are talking about on Wendy’s social media is comparing them to their competitors such as McDonald’s and Burger King.

It talks about how Budweiser is launching a new beer made with honey malt and Guinness is actually making its own Baileys-infused, alcohol-free cream cheese. Another big takeaway from this article is about Nestle and their ties to Russia, given the title of the article. Essentially, Nestle is refu

About Me :)

 Hi! My name is Lydia Fitzpatrick. I am 20 years old and I am majoring in business at Linn-Benton Community College. I plan to transfer to OSU to continue pursing a business degree there. I decided to take this class because I eventually want to start my own business and this class will be very beneficial for me when I do end up starting my own business.  The things I am most interested in learning about marketing is the psychology behind marketing and how to successfully market/advertise a product or service. I am interesting in learning these things about marketing because I don't know much about the psychology behind marketing and advertising, but I am aware that there is a lot more that goes into it than just saying "this is the best ..." and knowing how to successful advertise a product/service will help me to achieve my goal of owning a successful business. I have many interests outside of college. Some of these interests include; music, concerts, festivals, traveli
