Week 2: This week we learned about strategies for implementing marketing. We discussed ways to implement a low budget campaign. We then did an assignment on innovative marketing campaigns.

Week 3: This week was my favorite week out of the month. We discussed presentation delivery. We looked at different presentations that we found effective and talked about how we would pitch our marketing campaign. For our assignment, we had to pitch our digital marketing campaign.

Week 4: This week was about social media policy and personal branding. This week’s discussion focused on social media policy and talked about our opinions on it. For the assignment, we evaluated our online social media presence.
