Social Listening via Nike

    The brand that I selected was Nike. When it comes to Nike and social media, most people talk about Nike when they are posting things about shoes or about other athletes. In addition, when going through and reading some of the comments on both Instagram and TikTok, it seems as though people have a pretty positive attitude toward Nike. There were a couple posts here and there in which Nike received some hate comments, but overall people were positive in terms of commenting on posts.

All About Paul Ossowski

 Hey Everyone! My name is Paul Ossowski and I have made 19 trips around the earth so far. I grew up in a small town called Veneta, Oregon since I was six years old, but I currently live in Eugene for the meantime. I was prompted to enroll in this course because I am not only super interested in marketing, but it is also a requirement for both my marketing and finance majors.
