Welcome to my blog :)

 Hello! My name is Kyla Knott, I am a business student at Oregon State and LBCC. I was born and raised on the coast, in Lincoln City, well technically I'm from a very small town just inland of Lincoln City but no one knows where that is. I was raised by two amazing parents, and I also have an older brother who is 22, he is pretty cool too. My parents own a construction and development company. My dad started the company in 2008, pretty crazy considering the economy was crashing at the time. He has done very well for himself and I am so thankful for the knowledge he has given me, he's the whole reason I'm even in this class right now. 

I always knew I wanted to go into business because I've always been around it, working in our company's office, to managing a few of our storage facilities, to running equipment and working with the crew on site. I'm so excited to be taking business classes at OSU and LBCC so I can learn how to start my own company and follow in my parents footsteps. I'm hoping I will learn marketing skills that I can carry with me into own company, like the proper way to advertise and the proper way to run social media and so on and so forth. I am excited to see what this class has to offer me :)

Now that I've told you about my professional goals and my proper side, let me tell you about the fun things. My life outside of school is never boring, I am either out with my family or out with my friends. I love going out on the lake and wake surfing, I also love riding dirt bikes and side by sides, and I love playing with my dog, he is a bernedoodle, he is super goofy. I have lots of things I love to do but that could go on forever, so I'll leave it at that, I'm so excited to see what this class has in store.

  Hello everyone! Let's get into some marketing news. As you probably already know, Elon Musk, the owner of Tesla, bought Twitter and he has done quite a few things to change the way Twitter is being ran, like getting rid of half of their 7,500 employees. The article I'm going to be talking about today is about how Elon Musk is making Ad-free Twitter available upon subscription. This article caught my eye because I am a twitter user myself, a Twitter user who also hates all the ad's on my Twitter feed, so I was immediately interested when I read "Ad-free Twitter", I would absolutely love to be able to scroll through my twitter feed without being bombarded with a billion ad's that I want nothing to do with, but how is Twitter going to make money without ad's? Isn't that how Twitter makes its money, off of the companies that are paying Twitter to display their ads? Well, let's talk about it, as stated in NDTV's article about Musk's new Ad-fre...

 Hello everyone! Today for my Social Listening Blog I am going to be talking about Tarte Cosmetics. Tarte Cosmetics is a Cosmetic company that was started by a woman named Maureen Kelly. According to their website, Tarte is known for having vegan friendly makeup options, clinically proven ingredients, and so on. Tarte has been in the well known makeup game for quite some time now, which is quite rare for the beauty community, because what usually happens is products become very popular for a short period of time, blowing up on social media, and then die down after a couple months and you never really hear of them anymore, but Tarte has been around since 2003, becoming available at Sephora in 2005, that is 20 years of being Tarte being around, but just because Tarte has been around for awhile doesn't quite make them top tier, their sales aren't exactly as high as companies like Dior or Charolette Tilbury. Tarte has had multiple different beauty lines of almost every makeup produ...
