You can use tables but a critical discussion of the most important elements, which directly Influence the objectives, strategy and implementation, must be critically discussed. This can be
a paragraph under tables such as PESTEL or TOWS.
• Define your campaign objectives
. Objectives – 2 SMART Objectives, which should derive from all of the situational analysis you have done, therefore you can develop your own SMART objectives. These should be statements. Each objective will have its own strategy and implementation.
. STP – Segmentation, Targeting and Positioning. You can use additional concepts here such as brand personality, perceptual map, USP to help you explain positioning.
• Explain your brand identity and personality as well as the value proposition, giving reasons for your choices.
• Using a range of traditional and digital tools and social media, devise and justify the promotional strategy for each of your objectives to reach the customer. You are expected to apply strategic frameworks here!

. Give reasons for the chosen message and the source
. What is your call to action?

. Think of the schedule (pulse, DRIP, etc…)
• Develop a media plan, giving reasons for your suggestions
. Implementation – This relates to putting the strategy into action (step-by-step).
