Assignment Description

You will be required to build a social media marketing plan. This assignment will allow you to familiarize yourselves with the marketing planning process and facilitate hands-on application of social media marketing strategy. 

Find a business, and follow all their social media accounts. Have a brainstorming session in which you can build a social media strategy around their accounts. What type of message or campaign makes sense for this particular brand? Should you be tweeting funny quotes? Should you be posting events that are happening locally? Should you be offering a special promotion to your followers. Have your team members decide what the overall message should be.

Make clear what the strategic goals are. Do you want to increase traffic to the business’ site by 10%? Do we want to grow Facebook or Tik Tok followers by 50%?

Once a strategy has been agreed upon, develop a content calendar that maps out the topics and offers you plan to promote for the nest six months.

At the end of the course, each group should write a social media marketing plan. On the deadline each group will turn in a document containing the above information. The written report should summarize all of the information requested above, and it should do so in no more than 1.500 words (12 pt. font; double-spaced).
