Meet Wyatt Caber

INTRODUCTION:

My name is Wyatt Caber and I am a sophomore at Duquesne University.  I am a Sports Media and Information Major with a business certificate.  For most of my life, I have always had a passion for sports which really drew me to that major.  Also, business has been fascinating to me in many different aspects.  I could say I chose this course because it was a required class for me, however I am an avid social media user and enjoy marketing greatly.  So when I saw this course I had to see what it was all about.  When it comes to projects for school I have a certain approach to ensure I am successful.  Firstly, I create a detailed plan outlining the steps I need to take to accomplish the project.  This plan includes breaking down the project into manageable tasks, setting realistic timelines for each task, and finding resources effectively.  Having a clear roadmap of what I need to do helps me stay focused and on track throughout the project.  Research is a crucial component of my approach.  I conduct thorough research to gather the most relevant information, supporting data, and different perspectives on the topic.  I make sure that the sources I use are credible and up-to-date, contributing to the overall quality of my work.

A FUN FACT:

I’m very knowledgeable about sports and can remember the numbers of most players.  I also played baseball in high school and know how to surf.

THINGS I HOPE TO LEARN:

I am looking to gain a deep understanding of how to strategically plan and execute social media and digital marketing campaigns.  This includes identifying target audiences, setting clear objectives, selecting appropriate platforms, and developing content strategies to engage followers/users.  I am also looking to learn how to brand my own social media for my future career and branch out and network with people who have similar interests.  Finally, I am simply just trying to learn something new that will stay with me for the rest of my professional life.  

SOMETHING I LEARNED IN 2023:

Last year I took a lot of business classes and I figured out that I was very interested in that field.  Marketing especially stood out to me.  I love the idea that you can really help the whole nation based on what you can do in marketing.  So, with this course having to do with marketing, I am going to apply the information I learned in 2023 to this class/semester and be the best student I can be.  I hope to have a great year and dive into the world that is Social Media and Digital Marketing!
