Jordan Kalahui's first post

Topic 1: About Me

My name is Jordan Kalahui and I am currently a junior at OSU and LBCC. I am majoring in sociology with a minor in business. I'm enrolled in marketing 223 so that I can fulfill my business minor and learn the ins and outs or advertising to consumers. I am very interested in what the sociology behind products are and what pushes consumers to go out and by products. I want to know what the strongest advertising tactics were in the history of the U.S. Outside of school I am super passionate about working. I enjoy being busy and love working. I currently work 2 jobs and I really enjoy the thought of making money. I enjoy working so much because I am fortunate enough to work with some of my best friends. I also really enjoy my work, I am currently a houseboy and recruitment chair for my fraternity. I enjoy being able to meet new people and tell them about my experiences in Greek life. Although I don't get paid too much I enjoy the work, which is the main thing that matters to me.

I just finished my presentation on the controversial "Just Do It" advertisement. The advertisement was centered around Colin Kaepernick, who was one of the most talked about men in the world when he knelled for the National Anthem. This is the link for the video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hIc_epqfI0 The advertisement included some of the greatest athletes in the world (Lebron James and Serena Williams) and some of the greatest comeback stories (wrestler with only half his body and 1st round NFL draft pic with only one hand). When most people think of Nike commercials they think of intense workout scenes or game on the line type of scenarios. This ad was a refreshing change up that so many people could respect. It sends a good message to all ages and genders. This was a great way to show customers that when you buy Nike apparel, you are connected with some of the greatest athletes in the world. Nike's value proposition is to "just do it, no matter how crazy
