Social Media Campaign
Chicago Italian Beef
Project Brief
Over the course of the semester, you will complete a series of tasks and report these tasks in a series of papers. These tasks are designed to reflect the same steps a person or organization may undertake to develop a social media campaign for a strategic purpose: to persuade (marketing), to inform (journalism), and/or to entertain (entertainment).
