 The brand I selected is BMW, I chose this brand because I drive a BMW and I happen to love it, so I thought it'd be interesting to do a little more research to see what people are saying right now.  First, I can tell you without any research that many long time BMW M car fans are not too happy with the grille of the new 2021 G80 M3. It being so big and different from past models has a lot of people a lot angrier than the average person would expect someone to be about a car.  The companies' value proposition is very simple, super car like performance and luxury at an attainable price point. Along with this comes a pact like feel for other BMW owners, especially the ones with your exact car.  Here are three examples straight from BMW's Instagram, one of which are not so happy about this new design, and another praising a different car they just released.  In this bottom picture you can see three comments back to back where people are complaining about the new gr...

About me

 My name is Tyson Bowes-O'hern, I am currently finishing up my first year at LBCC while living in corvallis. I was recently accepted into the partnership program with OSU, so this coming term I will be taking classes on both campuses. My reasoning for choosing this course particularly over summer term was the fact that my roommate told me it is a fairly fun and interesting class, and that's how I like my summers to go. I am working towards my business administration degree, though it's very possible I will choose a different path in the business field. As far as marketing goes, I think the topic as a whole is interesting, and I am excited to learn the basics, and maybe move onto future marketing related classes.  Outside of school I have a few things I am very invested in. First I spend almost all of my time with friends, its something I can never get bored of. Second, I love video games, specifically computer games, and computers themselves. I built my own PC when I was 14...
