Task: Prepare and Present a Social Media Marketing Plan
You should imagine that you are working for a small or medium size company that chooses to develop a social media strategy – it can either be a social media strategy plan or a social media campaign plan. Assume that you are presenting your plan to the main stakeholders of the company for their approval. A key element of the assignment is how realistic you are in your proposal.
The assignment must be done in pairs.
At the very least, your plan should include:
- What the company does and its market.
- What you want to achieve with the social media campaign and why.
- The plan of action, the steps you will take, estimated time spans etc.
- Key messages to transmit (if appropriate).
- Key metrics by which you will measure success or failure.
- An indication of the resources you need to dedicate to it. This does not necessarily have to be financial, but could be expressed in terms of person-hours etc.
In general, you can assume variables that are not given – but within the realms of realism! If in doubt, ask your teacher for guidance. For example, there is no specific budget set for this task, therefore you should set your own. If your company is a small, recently created enterprise, it is unrealistic for it to have a six-figure sum to spend on social media.
The deliverables for this project are two:
A presentation, worth 25% of your course grade, to be delivered in the final session of the course.
A strategy plan document, worth 35% of your course grade, to be submitted on Turnitin by 5th May, 2020. The length of the document must not exceed 2500 words, excluding references and appendices.
It assesses the following learning outcomes:
- Understand social media marketing within the context of marketing strategy and IMC
- Design the social media marketing plan and apply it to reach specific social media objectives
- Analyse the social community and application of brand strategies
