Social Listening: KIND Snacks

As I sat down to write this blog post, I found myself at a creative block, unsure of which brand to delve into. I went downstairs to get a KIND Snack bar for a quick and energizing breakfast.

My First Blog Post: About Me

     Hi all, my name is Joe and I'm a second-year business student here at LBCC! I'm very passionate about all things sports-related. Over the past few years outside of school, I've slowly turned my hobby of sports card collecting into a small business venture.
