  • Title: Targeting Gen Z: A Multi-Platform Marketing Strategy for a Movie Release

    Imagine you are a marketing executive at your favorite FM radio station. You have approached a movie studio about a strategy to spend money at your station to promote their latest release to a Gen Z audience, with a secondary target being their parents. Studio executives don’t believe Gen Z still listens to FM radio, considering them a solely digital audience. Use the NAB – Radio’s Roadmap to Gen Z Listening podcast https://www.spreaker.com/episode/media-insights-from-generation-z–20049414 to outline a strategy for promotion. Include specific data points from the podcast and address each of the following prompts:
    How can you use advertisements played during breaks as a part of your strategy? What data do you have to support this strategy?
    How can you use the station DJs as a part of your strategy, will you include callouts (the DJ talks about the movie on air) or appearances at events to promote the movie? What data do you have to support this strategy?
    How can you use promotional events for the movie that includes station branding? What data do you have to support the use of this strategy?
    Part Two: You are the marketing executive for the movie being released in Part One. You have decided to go with the radio strategy pitched to you, but want to supplement it with a social media campaign that you want to go viral. Based on what you learned in the Buzzfeed video, what are some elements you would consider when developing the content? What will you use in terms of creative messages, written posts, photos, or video? In 2-3 paragraphs, explain the strategy that you would suggest to “go viral”. 

  • “Theoretical Foundation Diagram for Project/Program: Addressing Need/Problem and Achieving Expected Outcomes”

    Note please*** I would like for one writer to take this capstone project for 8 weeks, each week I will send you a top to add to the first page, and at the end, you will put the weekly write-up together to complete the capstone project.***
    A logic model or program theory is a description or model frequently pictorial of how a program is supposed to achieve its expected outcomes and solve the identified problem for which it was created. It creates a logical links between expected outcomes and the activities designed to achieve them and incorporates the evidence-based theoretical assumptions that explain how the activities will lead to outcomes. A program theory or logic model is NOT the theoretical framework on which your project is based although it may be related to a theoretical framework. A theoretical or conceptual framework is a general theory that explains why some things happen. A program theory or logic model is unique to your project and explains how it is supposed to work.
    Assignment:
    Develop a one-page diagram of theoretical foundation for your project/program, describing how and why your project should achieve the desired outcome. Add references on the second page. You may arrange items in the diagram in any way you choose, but the diagrams should include each of the following components and show the logical connections between them:
    The need or problem to be addressed by the project/program with supporting data
    The context for the project/program (attach a reference list with your diagram)
    The strategy (ies) proposed to address the need/problem
    The evidence base for the proposed strategies (attached a reference list with your diagram)
    Factors that will influence the use of strategy
    The expected outcomes of the project/program
    The resulting impact of the project/program if the outcomes are achieved.
    Expectations
    Length: Two pages (1st page for diagram, 2nd page for references)
    Format: APA Style (7th ed.), one-inch margins with double spacing, proper APA formatting
    Research: Scholarly (peer-reviewed) contemporary  reference(s) within the last 5 years
    Writing: Use correct grammar and sentence construction: Clear expression of ideas
