Social Listening in Marketing: Duolingo

For this week's blog post, I'll be talking about the one and only... Duolingo! For those of you who may not know Duolingo, it's an American educational company that produces learning apps and offers courses on music, math, and over 40 languages! Duolingo claims that it's the "world's most popular way to learn other languages," and their mission statement is to develop the best education in the world and make it universally available.  I'm a current Duolingo user learning Brazilian Portuguese, and thought about trying to learn on a different application, but soon enough realized that Duolingo was the only app in the app store that had more languages than just French, Spanish, Italian, and German. In comparison to its other competitors, Duolingo offers over 40 languages while Rosetta Stone offers 25, and Babbel offers 14. If you were looking into learning languages, and saw that one had almost double of what another app had... I mean, the obvious choice

Marketing in the News: "Apple Vision Pro"

As a graphic designer, I've really gained a love for Apple products. Not only do they have a nice user interface, but the ease of being able to transfer design files from one Apple device to another was a huge reason why I've stayed loyal over the years. Having established a brand over many years for design innovation, Apple won over the hearts of many. You can't help but want to get the next new thing from them.  On a random day, I navigated to the Apple website to scroll through the products they had.

Hello there!

Hey there! My name is Breanna-Rae Tainatongo, but I usually go by Bre! I'm a Visual Communications major studying the Graphic Design track here at Linn-Benton Community College. I was born and raised on the beautiful island of Guam and moved to Oregon in 2016! If you try to find Guam on an iPhone map, navigate to Australia, follow the horn all the way up, zoom in a couple of times... aaand there we are! A whopping 30 miles long and 11 miles wide island, right smack dab in the middle of the Pacific Ocean! As you can imagine... that's really tiny! There's an ongoing joke that you can't date anybody back home, because they're most likely your cousin! (that's how tiny it is) But, nonetheless, it's the place I call home, it's the place that will forever hold my heart, and it's the place that I hope to one day retire and be with my family again. In my spare time, I love to spend time with my dog Åhu, snowboarding, and mountain biking during the seasons, an
