Hey Everyone!

My name is Ryan Hogan, I am a finance major at Oregon state University and Linn Benton Community College. Currently I am 20 years old and living in Corvallis.

I enrolled in Principles of Marketing because I wanted to expand my knowledge of marketing and increase my awareness of all things marketing! I am most interested in increasing my awareness because marketing is everywhere. It is everywhere we look and go and I want to be conscious of the newest, and latest marketing tactics and strategies. This will improve my awareness, and keep me mentally fit when it comes to marketing. 

Outside of college, I love to program, run, and play chess. I learned a variety of programming languages last year and am excited to grow this skill set my working on independent projects involving finance and banking. I love running and will be doing my first half marathon this April 10th! Finally, I really enjoy a good game of chess. Ive only been playing for a few months and am enthusiastic about ranking up!

Now, they are facing significant backlash from potential customers via twitter over the company’s stance on the new Georgia voting laws.  The delta airlines story of today is one of crisis management. The significant back-lash should not be down-played and could introduce long-ter

  I selected this company called Nvidia. Due to the shortage of semiconductors as well as graphics processing units (GPU) has people buzzing about the company on many social media platforms. I am interested in this company because of the products they produce! Nvidia’s value proposition is great quality graphics cards for affordable prices. They can be used for a variety of activities such as gaming, mining cryptocurrency, rendering artwork and images, as well as hosting servers for online activity. Social media is buzzing about this company primarily due to the international shortage of semiconductors and GPUs! People are upset that company supply of the graphics cards is low while demand for them is higher than ever.    On twitter, Ben Adams replies to a thread discussing the CO2 industry’s demand for the cards. User ‘spxyde’ says they wish they had an Nvidia graphics card! And finally, user ‘someone’ weighs the cost of a playstation 5 with that of a gaming pc while talking about the
