Social Media Marketing Case Study Objective Students (individually) must develop and submit an originally written paper in the style of a case study in social media marketing. The paper must be about a selected non-profit entity and contain a survey of in-depth research on an issue that is relevant to a main concept in this course. The project will incorporate a specific issue concerning the development and implementation of a social media program as an application of the theory discussed in the reading and discussions. Collection of data and analysis are major features of these projects. Instructions Select an overarching topic in this course where you think you have the most interest from the following list. Your writing will likely be more focused on a specific sub-topic within one of these main topics, but this list will help guide you in the beginning. Review samples of case analysis included in the Assignments/Project tab.For this project, your topic should come from Chapters 3-8 in
Social Media Marketing, Second edition, by Tracy L. Tuten and Michael R.
Solomon (2015), SAGE Publications Ltd.

No project submissions will be accepted before they are fully approved, so check back after posting to confirm that the project was approved.Sign up for Case Study Final Project by the due date on the “Case Study Final Project: Topic Selection” discussion board by creating a thread with your topic in the subject line. The body of the message in the thread should include the main topic from the list above (or another approved topic) and the subtopic of interest.For example, if student David Campbell would like to write a case study about the organization’s current social media efforts within the social publishing zone, he would go to the “Case Study Final Project: Topic Selection” discussion board and create a thread with the subject line ‘Social publishing zone’. In the body of the message to post, student David Campbell would write: David Campbell will write a case study about the social publishing zone topic. Specifically, the focus will be on the content characteristics (e.g. originality and impact of the contribution).Using netnography, research and write a case study. The case study should include brief background information and qualitative and/or quantitative data that is relevant to the assigned entity and topic. The bulk of the writing should profile a real issue within the context of your chosen topic from step 1. You will likely have to consult the organization staff, internal publications, official social media accounts, credible online source, and/or other reliable sources of information to compose your case study.Create three or more discussion questions at the end that allow the reader to reflect on the concepts in this course that are related to your topic. The discussion questions must encourage supported critical thinking based on the focal concept in your case.Submit your case study through Blackboard by the deadline.
