A Social Media Campaign
This document outlines a social media campaign created by a team of students for the poke food truck "Fresh Catch Poke" in San Jose, California. The team developed goals and target customers for the campaign, created sample social media posts and graphics, and established a posting schedule. However, they were later "fired" from the campaign. They continued posting privately to evaluate their work and learn lessons to improve future social media strategies.

- 8. ourNarrativeFresh Catch Pokeis a food truck dedicated to bringing the Bay Area a taste of traditional Hawaiian poke. It blends modern Hawaiian, fresh preparation, and an artful balance of Pacific Rim flavors for the perfect poke bowl. Brought to your party, park, or parking lot, Fresh Catch Poke serves sophistication on your lunch hour, or any hour. That’s the freshness of Fresh Catch Poke. Ideas Invoked: New rain. The crack of vegetables straight from the earth. The spray of salt from the wave crashing over the bow of the boat at it churns into the harbor. Rinsing off after you get out of the ocean.

Editor's Notes
- #4 Talk about while he was analyzing and managing business accounts for others, he realized he could use his business smarts to make himself more money. Work towards a better life, better future, retirement.
- #5 James realized that with the help of his cousin, he can become successful investing in the food business. He decided to go with poke. It’s popularity was growing in the United States at the time. All the poke places in the states were brick and mortar places, his would be the first poke food truck.
- #7 How did we get the target market. Why are they our target market. How do we reach out to them and how do we do it.
- #8 What our ideal target market would look like
- #10 By dividing influencers into four categories, we recognized that Fresh Catch Poke has a wide customer base and many ways to find that customer base. The Bay Area is a big place, but these influencers were selected to be the vehicle for reaching those who did not know Fresh Catch Poke, but should.
- #11 GRAPHIC OF INFLUENCERS - Talk about why each influencer was chosen
- #15 Content slides make white background and then expand the images to that you can see the screen shots
- #18 Perspective of someome reading the slides without the prsentation in front of them; like a story book ; headlines; more visuals; personal preferences, no drop shadows, images on a slide are a full bleed; part of the requirement is to export as PDF and upload to slideshare; recommended to upload to personal slideshare account and then the it is linkedin
- #22 Think about creative titles; how can you get outside of the box and still show us what is the main takeaway? Suggestions: get this presentation done this week so that we can assign slides; next week meet maybe once before to practice transitions; use the second half to finish the final exam;;;
