Project Examples

Requirements

Beginning this September, a group of 3-4 marketing students will spend 50+ hours researching and developing a goal-based digital marketing strategy plan for your organization.

Based on organizational and market research, student-consultants will recommend the best opportunities for using digital tools to achieve your overarching marketing and business goals. NOTE: Our students can develop a channel(s) specific plan based on your organizational goals.

Students will develop a digital marketing strategy plan that can include any of the following:

  • Business & marketing goals.
  • Social and Digital Audit of your existing channels.
  • Target audience and Persona Design.
  • Inclusion of a customer journey map (how your customers are currently accessing your digital channels)
  • Competitor Analysis of 3 main industry competitors.
  • The design of a strategic approach that aligns the needs of your customers and organizational goals.
  • Implementation plan for specific campaign ideas (with content samples included) and ongoing activities.
  • Theme(s) and message(s) to be communicated.
  • Cross-platform content calendar with sample content developed.
  • A high-level campaign budget and explanation of how paid, owned, and earned media should be used together.
  • Strategy for engaging target audience interactions with your brand and other consumers.
  • How performance will be measured and evaluated, i.e. ROI.

Please Note: Depending on your project needs, there is an opportunity for students to help you execute this plan by designing media deliverables in their New Media, Winter 2020 12-week course. Last year, students helped 3eeHive (non-profit start-up organization) develop a storyboard concept for their launch video.
