Assessment 2 is an individual assessment that involves preparing a brief social media engagement report by analysing contents posted on a chosen brand's social media platform/s (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter). This assessment task requires the submission of TWO (2) FILES (i.e., one Word file and one PowerPoint file). 

You are required to select one of the following brands:

• Bonds

• Coles
• Domain Real Estate

• Lorna Jane
• Qantas
• Vegemite

Analyse your chosen brand's recent social media posts as well as how social media users engage with these posts. You will classify these posts based on pre-determined categories or themes and prepare a brief report based on the analysis (please see Assessment 2 guidelines in Moodle for details). The report should include a recommendation section for your chosen brand. The main body of the report should be 1000 words maximum in length excluding the executive summary, table of contents, tables, charts/graphs, the reference list and appendices. The presentation component will be in PowerPoint format with recorded voice-over limited to 5 slides (excluding title slide) and no longer than 5 minutes in duration. The presentation component must include the major findings from the analysis and recommendations. The following link provides a good video tutorial on how to record voice-over in PowerPoint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHeH05PKvHg

Any assessment with a ‘Turnitin’ score of more than 25% will be checked by the marker and unit coordinator for potential plagiarism issue, although it may not necessarily mean that you have plagiarised. If there is a substantial similarity score in the ‘Turnitin’ report, your assessment could be forwarded to an appropriate office/authority.

• Research (i.e., identifying and classifying social media posts) (6 marks)
• Analysis write-up (i.e., writing about the findings and providing recommendations) (8 marks)

This assessment task requires the submission of ONE (1) FILE (i.e., one Word file). Assessment 3 is an individual assessment whereby students will design an E-marketing plan (EMP) for a small Australian company/brand of their choice.

The word limit for the EMP is 2500 words excluding the executive summary, table of contents, tables, charts/graphs, the reference list and appendices.
