Short Video Recording Interview:
As a brief introduction, my name is Hojoon Kweon and I am now beginning my third-year at UC San Diego pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in International Business with two minors in Marketing and Data Science.
I position my specialty in marketing with an analytical mindset to extract optimal marketing decisions through data analytics which empower performances. Along with analytics, I aim to enhance an understanding of digital media channels, consumer behavior, and targeting methods, which in together optimize targeting.
As a Social Media Intern at SCB Management Consulting, my responsibility was to increase awareness of our company and services to potential clients. In order to optimize the performance of page posting, I studied every possible option in content calendaring, ideation, and creative designs. In Excel, I evaluated the effectiveness of the options I selected to figure out how to improve page posting strategies. Throughout an internship, I could fully comprehend the processes of distinguishing which strategies are successful or unsuccessful using performance metrics of social media postings.
To further strengthen my analytical acumen, I developed skills in utilizing tools including Excel, SQL, Tableau, GA4, and Python. Also, I obtained knowledge of media operation, media buying, retargeting, and segmentation strategies within diverse digital media including Display, Search, Social, Retail, Video, and App. Since I learned about digital properties, I can utilize data analytics to operate improving communication campaigns.
Beyond marketing communications, I strive to derive marketing insights by discovering consumer behavior. In my current experience as a Research Assistant at the Atkinson Behavioral Research Lab, I conduct interviews, focus groups, digital surveys, and eye tracker device studies to examine participant behaviors. I consistently communicate with professors who frequently use our behavioral research lab to ask how their findings on neuromarketing and psychology can benefit marketing decisions of a company.
In addition to the marketing capabilities, I am currently a president of the Korean-American Scientists and Engineers Association and a collegiate competitor of UCSD Speech and Debate Team. I am establishing solid fundamentals of leadership, problem-solving, and verbal communication skills throughout my activities.

ย SOCIAL MEDIA SPECIALIST INTERN - SCB MANAGEMENT CONSULTING: [i] ______________________ [ii] _____________________________ย
What was my mission for the internship (๋ญ ํ๋์ง ์ผ๋จ ๊ฐ๋จํ๊ฒ ์ค๋ช ํ์. )
For 6 months, I worked for SCB Management Consulting, which is a B2B company providing services to government agencies.
As a social media intern, my mission was to create page posts for their social media presence on LinkedIn and Facebook and periodic newsletter to our subscribers.
Since the company did not have any template for reporting nor optimization strategy to improve the effectiveness of our contents, I developed a dashboard to monitor progress and analytic templates to evaluate performance of page posts and newsletter contents.
Can you explain your page post activities?ย
My main task was to create a page post calendar under 4 categories of contents including company case studies, participating marketing events, industry insights, and celebration.ย ย
Based on the page post calendar, I worked on content idealization, drafting them, and designing the page post.
Can you explain how you organize your reporting and how to utilize your reporting to optimize contents?
First, I developed a progress dashboard with Excel, which monitors performances of each page post in social media channels including # of impressions and # of engagement such as likes, comments, repost, and more. It also shows the # of new follower acquisitions.
Then, I analyzed the # of engagement of 4 different categories of contents and learned that the announcement of our participating marketing events generated the highest rate of engagement, while information about our company generated the least. As a result, we changed the content of the company information category from general introduction of the company strengths into case studies which further improved the rate of engagement.
NEXT PAGE IS FOLLOWING INFORMATION
As a Social Media Intern of SCB Management Consulting,ย a B2B business providing services to Government Agencies, I received three missions. First, to manage the page post calendar, second, to ideate page post contents a month prior to posting, and third, to create page post graphics and text drafts two weeks prior to posting.
To achieve these three missions with best performance, I had to make the best and ideal choices. (on how I am going to categorize page post contents, which type of contents I am going to make, and which creative designs).
To optimize the three missions of page posting, I decided to implement three strategies.
Created a Data Reporting Dashboard with Excel which monitors performances of each page post in social media channels including # of impressions and # of engagement such as likes, comments, repost, and more. It also shows the # of new follower acquisitions.
Evaluated Content Effectiveness by analyzing # of engagement of 4 different categories of contents and learned that the announcement of our participating marketing events generated the highest rate of engagement, while information about our company generated the least. As a result, we changed the content of the company information category from general introduction of the company strengths into case studies which further improved the rate of engagement.
Conducted Market Research by _________________________.
Throughout the optimization strategies, I could maintain the strategies which are working, and change the strategies which are not working, eventually increasing the monthly average impression of page posts by 76.49% within 4 months.

For successful marketing communications, I believe that, primarily, the understanding of customers is the most important. For various communication activities, I believe it is important to measure the effectiveness of campaigns whether they completed their goals to the target customers, and eventually never stop to improve communication activities.
To achieve these importances, I am minoring in data science to learn how to use SQL to extract relevant data and also have obtained Google Data Analytics Certificate, Meta Marketing Analytics Certificate, and Google Analytics 4 Certification to handle these data. I am currently in progress to get a Market Research Certificate from UC Davis to learn further how to accurately understand customers.
In addition, I thought that being in the field of marketing communications requires understanding of how to operate advertisements on digital media. I am currently studying The Trade Desk Programmatic Buying and Google DSP as well as the ad operating tools such as Google Search Ads, Youtube Video Ads, Amazon E-Commerce Ads, Meta Ads, and TikTok Ads.

Intrinsic Motivation๊ณผ Exploitation Strategies ๋๊ฐ์ง์ ๋ชฉ์ ์ ๋ชจ์๊ณผ ํด๊ฒฐ ๋ฐฉ์.
In the interview with President Hojoon Kweon, he describes his biggest challenge as balancing exploitation strategies and overall intrinsic motivation. Specifically, the president discusses difficulties in solely relying on intrinsic motivation to make members complete their tasks, given that KSEA-YG is a student organization which is incapable of providing contingent rewards. This challenge is reflected from interview responses of members. The biggest sources of demotivation for Finance Team Leader Yohan Kwon is โworking on boring and repetitive tasks excessively aloneโ and for Finance Team Member Heejoo Kim are โlack of recognition, unclear goals, and isolation within the group.โ Unfortunately, student organizations including KSEA-YG commonly experience low levels of engagement and departures of members due to the sources of demotivation which are discovered from the interviews with members.
For the board of KSEA-YG to maintain high levels of intrinsic motivation, there must be a clear understanding of how characteristics of exploitation strategy and a few common sources of intrinsic motivation have contradictory motives. As aforementioned in the report, a strategy of exploitation relies on old certainties, i.e., use and development of what members already have and know. To enforce this strategy, KSEA-YG implemented two approaches: first, using a functional structure into three specialized teams with specified responsibilities, and second, emphasizing cohesion stronger than heterogeneity to enable actions with shared objectives. However, three strong sources of intrinsic motivationโmeaningfulness, autonomy, and feedback from jobโ are currently insufficient at KSEA-YG, mainly due to a focus on exploitation. Since each functional team operates under predetermined responsibilities which the team specializes in, members can not experience skill variety, task identity, and task significance. Also, each member is given guidelines on what, how, and when to do tasks which removes autonomy. Even when the members complete their assigned tasks, they receive little to no feedback as the board members focus on completion of tasks instead of improved performance for the next projects. Although the exploitation strategies of KSEA-YG expect members to have highest efficiency with deep functional specializations, those expectations in reality reduce the intrinsic motivation which is the sole source of prompting people to complete tasks within due dates in a student organization. In the worst scenario, a demotivation chain is created where increasing numbers of demotivated people results in an increasing amount of work for a small portion of members, which ends up being a strong demotivation source for the most hardworking members.
Meanwhile, the fact that exploitation strategies and some sources of intrinsic motivation have conflicting motives in theory does not limit KSEA-YG from implementing new strategies to maximize intrinsic motivation of their members. This report suggests two recommendations on how KSEA-YG can start to improve overall intrinsic motivation while utilizing exploitation strategies. The report fully agrees and understands that KSEA-YG needs exploitation strategies because it is a project-based organization which prioritizes completion of work over many other aspects. Therefore, the recommendations will be provided under an assumption that exploitation strategies are inevitable to remain in the organization.
First recommendation is to provide members opportunities to maximize meaningfulness, autonomy, and feedback from their tasks, even under exploitation-based strategies. Currently, the exploitation strategies of KSEA-YG value specializations to an extreme. Each skill variety, task identity, and task significance can be improved by allowing members to complete various types of work under their functional team, avoid assigning too specialized tasks such as bookkeeping for a year, and explaining how tasks done by members or teams contribute to the project. These subtle improvements will significantly raise a sense of meaningfulness in each member, while maintaining deep functional specialization at the team level: finance, media, and career. About the lack of autonomy, the board members should begin to only set objectives that the teams must achieve, not the specific guidelines. For example, the board should stop their attempts to instruct media team members on what specific contents to be uploaded, but rather state an expectation of target audience number to profit from an event and share what message the organization desires to communicate to the audience via social media platforms. Under clearly stated objectives, the members should hold autonomies to design their own tasks, distribute work themselves, and set detailed deadlines within their teams without any intervention of board members. KSEA-YG with increased autonomy will benefit from both more tasks completed and better performances. Lastly, feedback from jobs can be improved by providing acknowledgement of completed tasks and ways to improve. These will motivate members to perform even better in upcoming projects.
The second recommendation for KSEA-YG is to put more weight on โcohesionโ as a source of intrinsic motivation, enforcing a sense of belonging within the organization. Utilizing cohesion as a source of intrinsic motivation aligns with exploitation strategies in theory because cohesion enables โactionโ with coordination and motivation under shared objectives. Increased amount of actions links directly to the goal of exploitation to efficient completion of work. Not only does it align with exploitation strategies, the tradeoffs of prioritizing cohesion do not have immense negative effects. The biggest weakness of valuing cohesion over heterogeneity is a drop in informational accuracy. However, KSEA-YG with exploitation strategies weighs action and execution much more valuable compared to discovery, judgement, and decision-making. Thus, KSEA-YG with a new strategy of enforcing cohesion can be done without any serious tradeoffs. The strategy of enforcing cohesion needs to succeed on four objectives: increase psychological safety, create shared objectives, improve accountabilities, and create more fun. The sources to improve these four objectives include similarities which already exist, common goals such as helping the Korean-American community, common enemies in recruiting good members against other student organizations, and more team social activities for entertainment.

Present what "value" or "direction" the organization wants to head towards (which mostly everyone agrees with).
Make stakeholders fully understand the impact calculus (magnitude, timeframe, probability, reversibility) if change does not happen.
Be honest in presenting benefits and costs; because it is not about "persuading others to do my proposal," but to "do the best thing for the organization."

Present what "value" or "direction" the organization wants to head towards (which mostly everyone agrees with).
Make stakeholders fully understand the impact calculus (magnitude, timeframe, probability, reversibility) if change does not happen.
Be honest in presenting benefits and costs; because it is not about "persuading others to do my proposal," but to "do the best thing for the organization."

Ex) Why did you apply to this position? What do you desire to take away from this position? Why did you choose our company and our industry?
IMPORTANT NOTE:ย
In the recruiterโs perspective, they want to hire a person who obviously have a great skill set, but at the same time, they want to recruit a person who are going to be satisfied with the tasks they a worker is going to be doing at that position because they want a new recruit to not leave quickly. I have to mention that the position is the right fit for me and is what I am exactly looking for. For example, I minored in data science, but that is simply to improve my proficiency working with data. I am not looking for any AI, professional programming, and machine learning. I am a marketer who wants to be perfectly proficient in extracting insights from various data sources to optimize performances.

B2C Electronics
From my current internship, I realized that marketing communications in B2B is operated to a restricted target audience with only one goal of sales lead. My desire is to be in the field of conducting various digital marketing activities to consumers, especially given that myself understand the experience as a consumer of Home Entertainment Electronic Products. Also, importantly, it is my top goal to be employed at SONY Electronics San Diego Office after my graduation at UC San Diego and gain the best workplace to reach my goal as a marketing communications worker. I would love to show my dedication and hard working attitude throughout this internship opportunity.
B2C Consumer Packaged Goods - Beauty
BEAUTY TECH COMPANY which innovates how to create digital experience, collect consumer data and behaviors, and create technology which enhance digital performance.
One of the standout innovations was the Beauty Genius AI tool, which provides personalized beauty advice based on in-depth diagnostics, helping users navigate the overwhelming number of beauty products. It offers virtual try-ons for makeup and skin care products using AR, making it easier for customers to select products suited to their unique needs. This tool reflects the company's response to the common consumer challenge of decision paralysis in a saturated market.
A whole new digital experience which can...
Collect so much more accurate information and preferences of consumers.
Create a digital experience of L'Oreal's own for consumers.
Possess a recommendation algorithm which people love is a game changer. [Netflix, YouTube, Meta, Google, Uber] Becomes a platform where everyone comes.
B2C Electric Automobile
In my opinion, many people view the potential of Lucid within the marketspace transition from Gasoline Vehicles to Electric Vehicles. While I believe this is one potential of Lucid's growth, I truly don't believe that Lucid is only competing with other automakers, and that Lucid is seriously underestimated of its value.ย
I want to talk about the market transition in digital experiences. During the transition from Mobile Phone to Smart Phone, the leaders in mobile phones including Motorola, Blackberry, and Nokia experienced a downfall, while new companies such as Apple, Meta, and Google emerged. I see the same technological evolution from "autonomous driving and advanced mobility" that the automobile industry is heading to.
To me, there is going to be a whole new transition in "Digital Experience" from Smartphones to Electric Vehicles, given that the cars are going to become a huge mobile device for both information and entertainment. I am aware that there are competitors who are investing in this area including software companies like Google, Meta, and Apple; mobility companies like Uber; and obviously the EV Brands.ย
And I see Lucid as a leader in this industry with limitless potential. When I see who dominated the Smart Phone Industry, I can think of Apple and Samsung. While Samsung only had a hardware device, collaborating with Google's Android, Apple had both Software and IOS which made them a market leader. This is exactly why I think Lucid is going to lead the market because Lucid possesses a hardware, the vehicle which has the best performances, as well as the best software as a tech-oriented automaker, including DreamDrive and one of the best software engineers who are developing better digital experiences.ย
