Kate Spade 

Kate Spade just opened up her brand new store in Charleston, SC. I'm not sure if you are all aware but Kate Spade is a huge Social Media Star. Her brand has escalated because of her voice on social media. I really enjoy looking at all her different digital media outlets. I follow her on twitter, so if you aren't follow her please do @katespadeny. The company has really showed us how effective it can be to use social media platforms to brand itself. My last semester of my senior year in college, which wasn't too long ago, I wrote a paper and did a pinterest board showing how Kate Spade Voice and Brand Awareness evolved. If you want to learn more about it, check it out on my pinterest page http://pinterest.com/hbriordy/the-brand-and-voice-of-kate-spade/.

This is my first entry to my personal blog. I've always had mixed feelings about blogging. I decided if I want a job in my field then its time to start blogging. I am a recent graduate from Kennesaw State University. I got my bachelors in Communication-Public Relations. This blog is mainly going to concentrate on my journey of searching for my dream job and anything related to my field of study. AP Style is very important in my field of study and I probably should blog in AP Style but at the moment I'm not going to.
