Meet Garrett Perry
〰️
〰️
Hi everyone! My name is Garrett Perry, and I am a Communication Studies major and Advertising & Public Relations minor! Like some people, I am using this class to fulfill credit requirements for my AD/PR minor. However, it also will also be very vital to gain some insight into the digital media marketing landscape. The material that all of my classmates and my self ingest will help us prepare for the professional careers we pursue in the future, and moreover give us an easier leeway into the digital marketing atmosphere. When it concerns school projects and or assignments, I am a considerate and straight-forward which I believe assists others in great aspects. Getting objectives completed is important, and I am there to give the push. I pride my self off of being cautious with a mix of straight-shooting, and it is what has gotten me this far!

“The secret of getting ahead is getting started.”
I hold this quote to my self because it reminds me of the drive and motivation that life requires, which sometimes can be hard to push onto oneself. My Grandfather also was an English teacher who was fond of Twain’s work. He would say this quote repeatedly when I was younger, but only since a while ago did this quote start to sink into my reality and become relevant. Starting anything will get you somewhere positive, and I am a firm believer in that.
More About Me!
I am a workaholic at heart, and most of the time I am either studying or finishing up assignments. I strive for academic success and that has been a main goal of mine since the beginning of my college career. I am also an active volunteer for the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank and have been since this month! It has been a great experience thus far, and I am all of the more ready to take up more volunteering opportunities as it is something that brings me peace.

Along with being a workaholic, I am a huge shopaholic as well! I will spend hours in a mall, and or at any store if possible. There is a certain rush and sense of stability that shopping gives me. It somewhat makes me feel whole if I spend at least a day looking at a store front whether virtual or in person. Shopping has been apart of my life ever since I was little, and going to the mall at a young age even was a favorite thing of mine that I would take seriously in the best way possible. Black Friday and my self are the best of friends, and it is probably one of my favorite points of the year. It may seem crazy to some which I am well aware of, but I know that there are others out there that are the same as my self.
Three Things to take from this Class!
Grasp more understanding of Digital Content Strategies
Become efficient in SEO for Digital Projects for now/future
Monitor/Analyze behavior in Digital Data Analytics
Something I am taking into 2025!
In 2024, I was reliant off of others opinions and or advice which sometimes would lead me down the wrong path. It is the best thing for me to follow my own gut instincts whether it pertains my professional or personal life. We are solely responsible for ourselves at the end of the day, and most would much rather admit to themselves that they got themselves to the right/wrong path as opposed to something or someone doing that for you.
