Adrian Ver's ePortfolio

Welcome to my ePortfolio!

My name is Adrian Ver and I am currently a full time student at BCIT taking the Marketing Management program.

Right after the diploma program, I am planning to take the BBA program and get my degree in business administration. My future goals include working full time in business firm that will help me gain experience in the work force, expand my knowledge and network with industry professionals.

This ePortfolio will showcase some of the work I have completed in and out of school.

This business model also counts for 1/3 of the assignment. We were to create a dynamic business model that contained a “what-if analysis” using Excel 2007. This is the final product.

The entire business model can be viewed here.

This assignment counts for 1/3 of a team-based assignment we did in our BSYS class. We had to create different types of charts to test our abilities in creating different charts using Excel 2007

If you don’t really know me, two words describe me. One of them is fashion.

I absolutely LOVE fashion.  Anything from Alexander McQueen’s Fall couture shows to Karl Lagerfeld’s Spring Ready to Wear shows and everything in between. Cavalli, Gaultier, de la Renta, Prada, Saab.

You name it, I most likely love it.  As you might be also able to guess, GQ is my bible. Other magazines on top of my list include Details, Vogue and Flare. I love reading and studying the content of these magazines because it inspires me to be creative in whatever I do.

To me, fashion is the greatest art there is because we live our lives in it.

Traveling! I love traveling. Just thinking about seeing the vast world out there gets me excited. Just this past summer, my family and I went on a trip to see London, Paris, Lucerne, Venice, Florence and Rome.

It was the best experience of my life. I loved every single city we visited, but the one I loved the most was Paris. The rich history, the culture, the language and most especially the fashion were things that made my vacation unforgettable.

Places I would love to visit include Rio de Janeiro, the Amalfi Coast and the city of Machu Picchu. These are just a few destinations on the long list of places I want to go.

One of my future goals is living and working in Australia. The country’s beauty and diversity make it such a wonderful place to live in. Hopefully, I could land an awesome job there one day!

This commercial was from our MS Powerpoint 2007 Project. Our assignment was about why BCIT is the best choice when it comes to post secondary studies.

Unfortunately the video is a bit laggy, I apologize for this.

Enjoy!

For our MS Word 2007 assignment, we had to choose a computer related topic and make an eBook about it. Instead of picking a generic topic, my group and I decided to pick World of Warcraft. This is an immensely popular game which holds 62% of the MMOG (massive multiplayer online game) market. As of December 2008, there is more than 11.5 million monthly subscriptions. That is a LOT of gamers! This is obviously a huge market, hence it became our choice.

The first case study we tackled in our Marketing class was about RIM’s Blackberry Storm. With Apple’s iPhone being its main competitor, RIM had to devise a strategy to compete with the world’s biggest and most successful smartphone producer.

Our job was actually to be in RIM’s shoes and devise the strategy to compete with Apple.

The Peak Leadership program is a set of events where the Student Association brings in a guest speaker who shares their success story and how they attained it. Right after the guest speaker is done, there is usually a networking event held at the Council Chambers. I got to meet other students from different programs with the same goal and motivation as I have. It was very exciting and it was a lot of fun.

Although I missed the last event, I am planning on attending the future events.

I want to thank Amanda Spear for organizing an awesome event. Good Job Amanda!

In this Excel assignment, we were tasked to make an example model of how car dealerships calculate commissions. This was by far the hardest assignment I have attempted.

This is just a model, I’m not 100% sure if this is what car dealers actually use.

Besides the quirky name, this is an upcoming event that will be held in less than a month’s time. Organized by BCIT MA, AIM BCIT and the BCIT Alumni Association, this networking and fundraising event will be a great opportunity to meet with other marketing students, BCIT graduates and industry professionals. Even if I’m not in the Communications option, this is still an event that will give me a chance to network. I can’t wait!
