The situation you work through

Noora, the only marketer at Pannu, a made-up coffee roastery in Tampere, runs one month of social media on 5 hours a week: a goal of 30 web shop orders, two platforms, a calendar of 20 posts, a small ad test and the results.

Your practice task

Plan one month of social media for your own business or project: set one goal as a number and a deadline, choose one or two platforms with a reason for each, define your content pillars with the split between giving and asking, and write a one-week calendar. Submit the goal, the platforms with reasons, the pillars and split, and the first-week calendar.
