books are two of my favourite activities. Human behaviour (Psychology) is one of the topics

that I read extensively about. Also, living within walking distance to North York Central

Library has provided me with the opportunity to have access to all the resources necessary

to hone my knowledge of marketing and advertising. I follow advertising trade magazines

the industry. Other topics that I read about include psychological thrillers, crime & mystery,

serial killers and horror.

main focus of the blog is on analysing ads of different companies and driving information

on the chosen market communication objectives, creative strategies and the media

objectives. The most recent brand that I further explored is Blackberry.
