What I do

Finished my first week as the Digital Marketing Associate for DMT. Since the question keeps popping up, what I do is handle the online (digital) marketing and advertising for Volvo, Volkswagen and Mitsubishi. I am part of a four-person team in the Dealer Performance Division.

In DPD, we take direct calls with the dealers. The dealers are just like any client in the advertising world. Some are hard to work with, others wonderful; some have great ideas, others don't. So basically what my job entails is to advertise and market the dealer's websites, to make them rein over their competitors. It is a lot of fun and a great experience. I have been there a week and have learn't so much about how the digital side of marketing works; keywords, Google Analytics and meta descriptions.

So here are some examples of what I am working with, also known as some of the best Super Bowl ads from this year.




My son's favourite. Star Wars fanatic.

Tv Documentary Class

Sara and I created a mini-metal documentary on two crazy friends Steve St. Amand and Dallas Walker. The two have been friends forever and this movie documents one crazy trip that Dallas made to see his buddy Steve. The trip happens to fall during the week of Metalfest 2011.

Congratulations to my best friend

My best friend Dana, married a wonderful man named Daniel. For years, I have been calling her double dee ( for obvious reasons ).  Now she is a happily married true double dee. Dana and Daniel Dallmann, yes double dee indeed.

I had the honour of being her photographer. The wedding was a small, but a beautiful ceremony of only 20 guests that took place in their home with a dinner reception at The Keg. I am proud of how much work she put into it though, it was absolutely gorgeous. I am so grateful to have her as my maid of honour for my upcoming wedding, I know everything will be equally as beautiful.

I do regret however, being a full-time college student, the lack of help I had to offer her. At least I took beautiful photos with the use of the college's SLR camera rentals. My plan as a wedding gift to Mr. and Mrs. Dallmann, is to create a wedding album for them. Seeing as I took over 600 photos.

I enjoyed every minute of it and used the opportunity to design a little photo essay for my last assignment in CreComm of the year as well.  And I would like to share it here on my blog.
