Blogg Assignment 3

The Product is Guiness beer.

5 things that come to mind when I think of Guiness are Beer, Irish, Thick, Drunk, and Filling.

The main thing that shaped my perception of Guiness is all of my friends. They are all Irish so I just developed a taste for it just by drinking it so often.

The top ten tags on Brandtags.net are, Beer, Irish, Dark, Ireland, Stout, Thick, Black, Dark, Delicious, and Drunk.

I believe my perception of this brand is the same as almost everyone who knows it. It is widely known and always associated with the Irish.

Blog Assignment 2

(Blogger would not let me post the embedded link because it was too long)


This is a commercial for Coors Light that is very popular during the football season. This is my favorite commercial because I am a very big football fan. All of the Coors commercials make me laugh, but I like this one the most. Comedy, however, is not the only reason that this commercial is so appealing. Most of them are based off of fairly famous post game head coach interviews. This one is from a game in 2006 where the Bears came back and upset the Cardinals. Most football fans, and just about every bears fan remembers the original context and that makes the commercial that much more appealing in Chicago. This ad actually did make me buy Coors the first time i saw it. I remember going out during half time after I first saw it to buy a case of Coors Light.

Goals For This Semester

My main goal for this year is to get at least 3 A's. I am a transfer and I really want to apply myself and do better than I did in previous years. I am really trying to get my GPA back up to a 3 so I have a better chance at an internship the summer before my senior year.
