Week #9, Prompted Post: Recognizing Significance of Marketing

I always had an attraction for marketing, because this is fascinating huge. The fact that there is a science behind many small things that we overlook sometimes, makes it a huge field. I was reading an article that discuss the science of colors in marketing. This article makes us think about the huge importance that marketing has, because it surrounds our everyday life during all the time. Every where you go there is a sign of some brand, there is a product or even just a flyer, but still all of this have a marketing concept behind. In all of this thing there was someone behind it searching, studying and creating, since the type of letter of the package until the advertising campaign.

Marketing field is very broad and it is important for companies and brands, but it is also for people. Because in some way you want people to look for you in a certain mode, in a job interview you will deal with you own marketing, in the beginning of a relationship, in your social media.. you will do some strategies that are not formal but still they are trying to sell your idea. People also look for ways that they can show better and accomplish their goal. 

This article specifically treats about the colors in the brands logos, in products and in many other things, and work specifically with colors is not the main thing that marketing does. However this served to make me realize how important my field is because it covers many aspects that involves peoples life, since a marketing campaign for a company until the way that people also promote themselves in daily life.
