Required elements of the campaign are:

3. 1(one) Business Goal.

4. Target Market / Key Public(s)/ Buyer Persona Profile. Give them “a name” and include an image. ( see the example of Sam, the Athlete, in Scott’s book, chapter 10)

5. Social media strategy and specific tactics (what is the communication strategy and the content strategy, in which platforms would the key messages be communicated, how or by whom, and why). Include logo, ads, visuals, mock-ups of social media posts, etc for maximum points.

6. Communication Confirmation Table.

4. Measurement and evaluation. (Tools to be used and how would you measure engagement).

5. Each student’s BIO at the end ( appendix).

Length: You control the length. Make sure you are submitting a well-documented and designed campaign.

Each student must submit the project as his/her own with both partners’ names on the cover page.
