Trey Harrup – our newest intern rocker joins us on the Porch to kick off the new year! Trey has recently graduated and we’re getting his marketing career off to a start on the Porch. We’re so excited to have him on board to help with all the things. We asked him a few questions last week, so you can get to know him a little better.
What do you think is the biggest misconception about marketing today?
That marketing and advertising are the same forms of business.
What advice would you give to someone just starting out in marketing, like yourself?
The advice I would give would be to be versatile when you start to learn. There are many small components to marketing and they all help each other. Learn them all!
What is one of the biggest lessons you’ve learned so far in your career path?
I’ve learned that all things take time. Take your time while you grow to retain information and experiences. Missing the small details of life because you are trying to move fast ruins the outcome.
What does good marketing look like to you?
Good marketing starts with the relationship built with the customer. I think good marketing now is understanding what your customer needs from you. This business world is becoming more customer-centric and placing an emphasis on how the customer is treated is a great way to start.
If you could describe yourself in three words what would they be?
Trey Harrup is Loyal, Personable, Flexible
Trey Harrup, what was your favorite thing about college?
My favorite thing in college was all the new people and faces I met every day. Making friendships with people I never thought I would, and having them in my everyday life has been a blessing.
Tell us about a major milestone in your life?
A major milestone in my life was finishing school! I never thought it would end and when it finally did, it was such a great feeling!
What are your goals for your time at Front Porch Marketing?
My goals at FPM are centered around learning. I want to take my time at FPM to learn as much as I can. I pride myself on being versatile when it comes to my skillset, so I want to learn about the many different facets that make up marketing.
If you could go to dinner with one person living or dead who would it be?
I would love to go to dinner with Will Smith. He is my all-time favorite actor and I think that dinner would be filled with some great stories.
What is a fun fact about you, Trey Harrup?
Hockey is my favorite sport!
