Hello, my name is Mark Butler. I am currently a third-year student at Rochester Institute of Technology. I am in the middle of getting my bachelor’s degree in New Media Marketing. I am expecting to graduate within the next two years after I study abroad in Japan.
My most notable work with RIT was for the foreign language department. During the fall semester of 2020, I was tasked with transcribing, translating, and adding captions to Japanese videos. These videos were both those requested by multiple Japanese professors and ones I found myself. These were eventually shown in Japanese courses. This experience has taught me to pay greater attention to detail while maintaining an efficient pace while working.
Ever since I gave a marketing course a try, marketing has become a passion of mine. Not only have I enjoyed the various marketing courses I have taken, but I also find myself applying it in the real world as well, looking at activity from various companies and briefly analyzing what marketing tactics they have utilized. I am eager to learn as much as I can about the field of marketing, and I cannot wait to enter the workforce and truly see the inner workings of the world of marketing. I am hoping to get some real-world experience with the marketing co-op that I am aiming to achieve this coming summer.
