For this project, you’ll create one marketing campaign for a business or organization of your choice. Check out the Vans example below for inspiration.
Check out several Marketing Campaign Examples here for inspiration. Those examples include many marketing pieces to reference, but you’ll create only a brand guidelines page and three marketing pieces. Pick three of the four marketing pieces I demonstrate and discuss in class: Social Media Graphic, Web Ad, 2-Sided Flyer, or an Email Blast.
You will practice being self-directed in this class. I want you to take the reins and do your work at a professional level and with pride and devotion.
