Maybe He’s Born With It

My blogging has been a little sporadic of late. And it’s probably going to get worse before it gets better.

I tend not to discuss too much personal stuff here hence why you’re still waiting on your 7 Things, Nathan. But I suppose once in a while it doesn’t hurt.

While I’ve been busy writing articles for Marketing Mag, promoting the student union on campus, hitting the books at Uni, hitting the beer at Uni and loving my internship at Naked, the biggest time consumer (and most fun) has been working on L’Oreal’s Brandstorm.

Last Thursday, me and two mates presented to L’Oreal Maybelline in what was a Pre Case Study looking at Maybelline’s first fragrance. We just received word that we’ve been selected for nationals in two months, up against five other teams. In that time we’ll be working with McCann Erickson on a promotional strategy as well as a packaging agency developing the launch of Maybelline’s first perfume.

If we some how manage to blow their socks off, we head on to Paris. Excitement much?

Anywho, any girls wanting to participate in some qualitative market research let me know. That is all. I love you. Each and every one of you. Not you Stan.

    Glad to know someone’s found you through Marketingmag Zackie! 😛

    Plus you always need an offline strategy as well as digital for your personal brand so cooling the blogging is cool.

    And, must let the Monash students know (yes, big disclaimer: I’m an RMIT pgrag student) – you’ve got some stiff competition. Last year, our ugrads finished first, second and third!

    This year they will only finish second and third, don’t you worry about that Kate.

    Zac that’s great news

    But I’m just wondering where you got the inspiration for the title ‘Maybe he’s born with it?’
