Sketch a brief outline of a social media strategy to spread the news of the Parvo outbreak. Start by answering these questions.

Who do you target?

How do you target them?

How do you find them?

What is your message strategy? Is there a theme?

What kind of schedule would you follow? And why. (let’s make this a 2-week campaign) How many posts?

The infographic would be one post. Give me 2 samples of other posts you might use for this campaign.

In other words, give me the who, what and why of your campaign.

While the instructions start on the final slide of the ppt, these instructions incorporate those in a little more detail:

In an effort to promote National Puppy Day, your job for this exercise is to think of some ways in which we can talk about a campaign to “Adopt instead of shop,” when it comes to acquiring a new puppy. In order to do this do a little research and come up with some fun ways we can communicate this strategy:

1.  Come up with 3 clever titles or turns of phrases that are thematic (like “adopt instead of shop”–that’s mine, you have to come up with others; or a thematic phrase might also be something like “Paws before you shop”–again, mine, you have to come up with your own 3)

2.  Provide three reasons why one should adopt a puppy, supported by cited evidence, meaning 3 APA formatted bibliographic sources that support the idea of puppy adoption; one of which must be a statistic.

        For example— More than 50% of dogs are mixed breed, meaning more than half of all dogs in the United States don’t come from a puppy mill.
