Week 12!
After finishing up with Monday’s classes I decided to hop on one of London’s buses to see where it would take me. I feel it’s critical to sometimes take a break and have the mindset of “just play it by ear”. I got on a bus in South Kensington and sat back and watched as …

More Field Trips! On Tuesday I traveled with my Strategic Brand Management class to a small brewery called Hiver. In class we’ve been discussing the different stages of the product life cycle, and how brands manage these product life cycles. I continue to enjoy visiting places in London that I haven’t been to before. Hiver …
