GROUP ASSIGNMENT BRIEF

Work in a group of 5-6 students to create a digital marketing campaign, based on what we
learnt in the course, to promote a new product, a brand, an organization (e.g., a club or a
company), a person, or a behaviour. There is no limit to your creativity (as long as your
campaign is not against the law). Based on the digital marketing plan, you will have 1 month
to execute the plan and report the results to the class.
Note that it will be beneficial for your team if you can contact a real company or organisation
in the industry who is in need of a digital marketing campaign. They can provide you
practical issues, necessary data of the market and real-life experiences, which will help you
build a better and more practical digital campaign. The group who can connect with a
company or organisation will get 1 bonus point for the group assignment report (accounting
for 30% of the final marks of the course).

GUIDELINES

For example, if you want to promote a new product of your own company. You can start by
working with your group to:
