Assignment

For your project, you will assume the role of an account executive with a small marketing firm that specializes in digital advertising campaigns. You have been asked to develop a digital strategy for a client who wants to develop a forward-thinking digital campaign that leverages key learnings from past campaigns. The proposed strategy should be based on the client's campaign goals, budget, and timelines, as well as the lessons learned from the previous campaign.

The campaign proposal will include an overview of the campaign, including an executive summary, channel selection and rationale, a SWOT analysis, and evaluation methodology. Other components include a content plan, media plan, and recommendations for campaign enhancements.

To effectively address the required critical elements, you will use the information from the Client Packet. You will also use the Campaign Toolkit, which includes templates and other resources to use when developing the campaign proposal.

The proposal will demonstrate your knowledge of digital channels and related marketing strategies, including their pros and cons, methods of evaluation, and legal and ethical risks and considerations.

Specifically, you must address the critical elements listed below. Most of the critical elements align with a particular course outcome.

I. Part I: Campaign Overview: In this section, you will develop a digital campaign strategy that is aligned with the client's campaign goals. The strategy should take into consideration the results of the previous campaign, as well as your knowledge of digital channels and platforms. The overview will include the following:

1) Executive Summary: Provide a brief summary of the proposed campaign that provides context for the full proposal and highlights key campaign elements.

2) Rationale: Provide a clear, appropriate rationale for the media options outlined in the media planning worksheet.

3) Targeting Specifications: Define appropriate targeting parameters for each channel and explain the rationale for selecting the identified targets.

1) Requirements: Outline the types of content and key information needed for the selected channels.

2) Touchpoint Map: Develop a visual map that illustrates content touchpoints for paid, owned and earned channels.

3) Messaging Guidelines: Develop messaging guidelines, based on channel specifications and campaign goals, that maximize content effectiveness.

4) Legal Issues: Identify potential legal requirements and concerns related to content.

5) Ethical and Cultural Issues: Identify potential ethical and cultural issues related to content and propose possible responses to address these concerns.

IV. Part IV: Above and Beyond: In the concluding section of the campaign proposal, you will provide short- and long-term recommendations for improving or enhancing the campaign:

1) Short-Term Recommendations: Recommend specific strategies for enhancing, extending, or supplementing the campaign, based on additional resources, including time and budget.
