Abstract:
To incorporate social media in the marketing curriculum, this article presents a three-fold experiential exercise in an upper division e-marketing class. Students were required to independently design, execute, and reflect upon a self-branding video project on YouTube. Survey results suggest that incorporating all three elements (strategic planning, execution, and reflection) in one single project, helped students to gain insight of the strategic and executional challenges in social media marketing, built students’ confidence in learning new message production skills, and catalyzed students’ interest in trying out social media tools to engage target audiences.
