Lessons

I need to understand the dynamic of creating something for a specific purpose. 
Since I am relatively new to marketing, I keep forgetting the goal of certain activities. 

Yesterday, I took part in a meme competition. I am very happy I did cause it made me do something I had never done before. It also made me think about the impact of visuals when trying to show sarcasm and similar emotions. Great experience. 

The rules indicated that we had to share our meme online and tag the course and the academy that was hosting the corresponding class I was taking. 

The competition hungry me - didn't really look at the details of what was being requested. All I saw was - it needs to be career related meme and shared on social media. 

I noticed a trend in the other memes submitted. Every single one was promoting the academy and the instructor in one way or the other. While I just making office space jokes. 

The top 5 memes were shared today. 
All were the type that hyped the course, the teacher and the academy. 

This exercise was meant for us to be the marketing for the course.
I was the only one that didn't get it.
