So I am in my final course at DeVry University and the class chosen is Digital Marketing Fundamentals, and I have to write and PUBLISH a blog - yikes. I literally talk to much - imagine me having to write these thoughts on paper and think people actually care to read them? I'm ready

Honestly a whole lot of unnecessary information to you but imperative to me. You can read it and comment on it for my courses purposes - however there is just a bunch of sarcastic comments, some life journey situations and me trying to understand what I am doing along the way. Enjoy!

Well, Hello.

Hi there, 

Welcome to my Blog! 


My name is Josi Hughes and I am a 25 year old full time events coordinator, student, mom boss, and wife as of this year. This is my first blog, like ever. I have read and reread the concept of blogging, placing personal information and opinions on the web and literally writing your heart out.

I have been a student at DeVry University since 2015 and this is my final term of my Bachelor's life, can you believe it? And here I am introducing myself to blogging to keep up with this assignment and whatever.

First off, I aspire to be in the event planning field for my career. I have spent the basis of my time as a student doing all of my course projects in relation to the event planning extraordinaire I hope to become one day. It has made my life so much more relevant when going to school and taking direct correlations and feeding them over into everyday life. I recommend fully that if you are going to be an online student, always make it relevant. Which brings me to my first assignment for this term.

I had to sign up for ONE more class at DeVry. My anticipated graduation was for August 2017 - but some graduation audit made a mistake and the trip I planned to celebrate graduation turned into a one day honeymoon for my husband and I (no complaints here.) After a couple frustrated conversations and some yoga, I chose this class. Digital Marketing Fundamentals....... okay? I chose it because my last 3 credits had to be an elective, can you believe it? Again, choosing classes that pertain to my degree and dreams right?

This assignment has me following three webpages and their marketing strategies, that's perfect.

So I chose these three sites:

https://www.bassetteventsinc.com/ - Basset Events Inc. - Luxury Event Planning in Toronto - wrote an entire project on this company and they impress me everyday.

http://sashasouzaevents.com/- Sasha Souza - celebrity event planner - and I own all of her books!

http://riversideplace.com - Riverside Place - Premiere Event Venue in downtown Spokane, WA and also happens to be the place I work now. This is an awesome exercise for my job just as much as it is for school.


The next part of the assignment is so intimidating - this blog has to be published and such and that makes me so nervous! So here it goes - you will read through this blog, gain insight on the school things I'm working on, live through quite a bit of selfies and sarcasm and wonder why you are here in the first place.

Stay tuned, friends.

Josi H.

  2. Very nice start to your introduction into the digital marketplace. Building your brand takes time. A blog is a prerequisite these days. Great Job. Any other multimedia content you can add will definately increase your page traffic.
