Social Listening: Black Rifle Coffee

Image
  A Social media presence I have observed recently is, Black Rifle Coffee Company (BRCC). I am what some call "a coffee snob," I have also been known to be driven by coffee.

Hello,  my name is Johnathan. I am currently enjoying beautiful summer here in Albany. Business and marketing have always been passions of mine. In the wilds of day-to-day life with kids I find myself seeing advertisements and reviews everywhere I look. So, I have decided, what better than to jump headfirst into a business degree. I hope I will get the opportunity to learn how to make commercials and market them to certain demographics. My hobbies involve the water and sailing. My goal is after completing my degree I can move and work somewhere on the coast. Retiring on a large sailboat is a dream of mine for the future.
