How to Plan a Successful Digital Marketing Capstone Project

One of the benefits of the UVM Digital Marketing Fundamentals course is that students are exposed to a variety of digital marketing channels. This includes Social Media, Search Engine Optimization, Display, and Paid Advertising, Email Marketing, Mobile Marketing, and Analytics. Over the course of eight weeks, students learn the inner workings of these channels from instructors who actually work in those fields. All of this to prepare their capstone project, a presentation of a marketing plan that serves as the ultimate display of a student’s fundamental knowledge of digital marketing. 

However, the question many potential students ask before starting the course is “How can I possibly plan, create, and build a marketing plan in just under eight weeks?” 

What is the Capstone Project?

The assignment is simple: consider a problem facing a brand of the student’s choosing and build a multifaceted marketing campaign that they believe can solve it. Students are able to select any brand they desire, even the brand that they currently work for or plan to interview with in the future. They’re also able to choose the specific challenge for that brand that they want their eventual marketing plan to face. And it’s the selection of that challenge that begins to piece the puzzle together for students. Because the challenge chosen could impact the type of digital marketing campaign one would choose. 

For example, a student who chooses a challenge of a “new product launch” might feel that the best marketing campaign for them would be a  product giveaway . Or a brand that needs to “increase customer loyalty” might be a good candidate to consider a  contest  or  mobile app . These options are provided to students when the class starts so it’s more of a match game than it is pulling something unknown from a hat. There is certainly nuance, but students have a lifeline in the Digital Marketing Fundamentals instructors who are there to help guide them.

The lovely part is, there are typically no wrong answers during the selection part of the process, with the most important thing being that a definitive brand, challenge, and campaign are chosen. However, there is a common trap that can derail the campaign discussion, and that is for a student to consider it good enough to simply say that they’ll use multiple marketing channels to market their brand better. This eliminates the focus for the student and therefore makes their job much harder. Rather than demonstrating the  correct and specific  use of the included marketing channels that are relevant for a particular campaign, they are instead only capable of showing a  general  use of the marketing channels, which isn’t what the capstone project is for. 

Every capstone should feature more than one digital marketing channel, as a truly good marketing campaign typically does. It’s the goal of the course for students to learn when and how to use these marketing channels, which is why the initial selection process is so crucial.

Which Marketing Channels Should I Choose for my Capstone Project?

This is the biggest question for the students in Digital Marketing Fundamentals Professional Certificate . But it’s also one that students don’t need to have an answer for in the first week. As the course unfolds, there are a number of opportunities for students to learn about the various marketing channels. This includes the weekly live sessions where the instructors, subject matter experts in their field, touch on all the key takeaways and applications for that module’s channel. So students can file away tactics and use cases for their own capstone project. 

But aside from this, one of the most basic ways for students to figure out which marketing channels they should use for their capstone is to consider the basics of their challenge and campaign. For example, if the challenge is to increase leads consider these questions: where is the brand currently getting leads? Do they have a submission form on their website? If it is, then that automatically opens the door for marketing channels like Search Engine Optimization and/or Paid Advertising, channels that to varying degrees rely on web pages for lead capturing. Do the brand’s social media pages link back to the website? Well, there is another channel for the student to consider.

Sometimes, it’s that simple to get started and if the student isn’t sure of where to begin, then the instructors are there to provide some firm direction and context.

So even though it seems daunting, the capstone project is actually one of the many elements of the Digital Marketing Fundamentals course that students will find rewarding. It helps them see the marketing landscape through the eyes of a seasoned digital marketer, while also giving them something tangible to include in their portfolios, should they find themselves on the job hunt . Going through this course can be one of the best ways to gain a working knowledge of a number of channels, as well as build a foundation for what could be your future career path.

9. Promoting Your Capstone Project Using Social Marketing Techniques

Learning Objectives

By the end of this chapter, you will be able to:

  • Compare and contrast commercial and social marketing objectives.
  • Explain the role of social marketing in capstone project development and implementation.
  • Develop a small-scale marketing campaign for your capstone project.

This chapter describes how social marketing campaigns can be used to promote your capstone project and recruit participants.  Although social marketing is usually targeted to large audiences the concepts of social marketing introduced in this chapter can be used to promote your capstone project and encourage participant recruitment.

Introduction

One of the first steps in the capstone experience is to identify an overall group of people, also referred to as a population.  Once a population is identified, you must devise a plan for subject selection, inviting members to participate.  This process may involve written invitations, telephone calls, or personal contacts in a clinical setting.  A key aspect of successful capstone implementation is the recruitment of participants.  Without project participation, the program will fail; therefore, participant recruitment and retention must be considered during the capstone planning process.  Within your MOU (Chapter 8) you will have outlined protocols and roles for stakeholders involved in your project. Developing a small-scale social marketing campaign will bring awareness of your project to the target community.  A small-scale social marketing campaign should take into account the services being provided, who will benefit from the services, and who needs to know about the services.  All necessary venues and stakeholders, such as partners, advisory boards, coalitions, community members, and participants should be considered.  Social marketing will create project awareness that will spark stakeholder interest and participation (Doll, 2010).

Commercial Marketing versus Social Marketing

In general, marketing is the process of getting potential clients or customers interested in your products or services.  While commercial marketing consists of efforts to promote and sell products profitably, social marketing has a non-profit motive and utilizes commercial marketing principles for non-profit purposes, such as informing and educating consumers and stakeholders about collective social issues (Nasrudin, 2022).  Although social and commercial marketing are both considered client-centered strategies that focus their research on a specific audience to understand behaviors, they can be distinguished in several ways.  (Refer to Table 9.1:  Commercial versus Social Marketing).

Table 9.1:  Commercial versus Social Marketing

Source:  Nasrudin, A. (2022, April 14). Commercial marketing: How it works, different from social marketing . Pension.  Retrieved September 30, 2022, from https://penpoin.com/commercial-marketing/

Social Marketing in Healthcare

Social marketing is the application of proven concepts and techniques drawn from the commercial sector to promote changes in diverse socially important behaviors, such as drug use and smoking.  Therefore, social marketing is widely used to influence health behavior.  Social marketers use a wide range of health communication strategies based on mass media.  Social marketers also use mediated, interpersonal, and other modes of communication; and marketing methods such as message placement, promotion, dissemination, and community-level outreach initiatives (Evans, 2006).  For students developing a capstone project with a target population, social marketing techniques can be used for program promotion and participant recruitment.

A Small-Scale Social Marketing Approach to Capstone Project Promotion and Participant Recruitment

Social marketing will help you reach your target audience.  This approach encourages you to thoroughly examine who you want to influence, and how to sway them most effectively.

Although this will depend on your project, it is helpful when you are trying to change the behavior of a group, population, or community.  Social marketing techniques can be used for program promotion, participant recruitment, and program sustainability.

Developing a Small-Scale Social Marketing Campaign

In the context of capstone projects, a social marketing campaign can be considered a philosophy that will direct how you approach your capstone project before and after implementation.  This does not mean that you must have a lot of money to make this work.  If you are excited about your capstone project and willing to put in the effort needed to make it work, social marketing can help you reach desired outcomes (Center for Community Health and Development at the University of Kansas, 2022).  (Refer to Table 9.2:  Managing a Small-Scale Social Marketing Campaign)

Table 9.2:  Strategies for Developing Your Small-Scale Social Marketing Campaign

Dissemination of project information, such as development of a small-scale marketing campaign, is an important consideration for effective program awareness, implementation, and sustainability.  Effective small-scale marketing campaigns should consider the services being provided, who will benefit from the services, and what stakeholders need to know about the services that are being offered.  Dissemination of information through social marketing can help to create community awareness regarding an important problem, issue, or need.  Small scale social marketing campaigns should be thoughtful and strategized processes because without stakeholder support, a program will not succeed or thrive.

Capstone Project Ideas: 165 Topics Across Nursing, Marketing, Education, and More!

marketing strategy capstone project answers

Capstone projects often require students to tackle real-world problems, providing practical solutions and insights that extend beyond the academic realm. They encourage a multidisciplinary approach, allowing students to apply knowledge and skills gained from various courses and disciplines, fostering a holistic understanding. 

Capstone projects contribute to professional development by simulating workplace scenarios preparing students for challenges they might encounter in their future careers. In this article, we’ll explain the nature of this assignment and offer 100+ capstone project topic ideas so you can get inspired and motivated to get past the creative slowdown. 

Definition and How to Choose a Great Topic for Capstone Project

First, let’s start by explaining what is a capstone project. By definition, it is a culminating and integrative academic experience that students undertake typically in their final year of study. It is designed to demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and competencies gained throughout a program of study. Capstone projects vary across disciplines and institutions, but they generally require students to apply what they have learned to address a real-world problem, conduct original research, or create a significant project.

capstone project

Here are key components and steps to consider when choosing a great capstone project topic:

Relevance to Your Field of Study:

Choose a topic that aligns with your major or specialization. The capstone project should showcase your expertise and knowledge in your chosen field.

Personal Interest:

Select a topic that genuinely interests you. Your enthusiasm for the subject will sustain your motivation throughout the project, making the experience more rewarding.

Real-World Application:

Consider topics that have practical implications in the real world. This could involve addressing a problem, proposing a solution, or conducting research that has the potential to make a meaningful impact.

Identify a Gap or Problem:

Look for areas in your field where there might be gaps in knowledge or existing problems that need solutions. Your capstone project can contribute to filling these gaps or solving identified problems.

Feasibility:

Assess the feasibility of your project. Consider the resources, time, and access to data or materials that you will need. A feasible project is one that you can realistically complete within the given time frame and with the available resources.

Faculty Expertise:

Check if there are faculty members with expertise in your chosen area of interest. Having a mentor who is knowledgeable about your topic can provide valuable guidance and support.

Interdisciplinary Approach:

Explore the possibility of integrating knowledge from multiple disciplines if it enhances the depth and breadth of your project. Interdisciplinary projects can be particularly innovative and impactful.

Current Trends and Issues:

Stay updated on current trends, issues, and debates in your field. Choosing a topic that is relevant to contemporary discussions can make your project more engaging and meaningful.

Project Scope:

Define the scope of your project clearly. A well-defined and focused project is more likely to be successful than one that is too broad or vague.

Consult with Advisors:

Seek advice from your academic advisors or mentors. They can provide valuable insights, help you refine your ideas, and ensure that your project meets the academic standards of your institution.

Remember, the capstone project is not only a demonstration of your academic abilities but also an opportunity to explore, innovate, and contribute to your field of study. Choosing a great capstone project topic involves a balance between personal interest, academic relevance, and real-world applicability.

  • Choose a capstone topic aligned with your personal interests and passions within your field.
  • Identify and address current challenges or gaps in your field for a relevant and impactful project.
  • Review past courses and projects for inspiration, focusing on topics that sparked your interest.
  • Consider combining insights from different disciplines to create a unique and innovative capstone project.
  • Seek guidance from academic advisors or mentors to refine and validate your capstone project ideas.
  • Ensure your project is feasible by assessing available resources, time constraints, and data access.
  • Stay updated on current trends, debates, and issues in your field for a relevant and timely capstone topic.

Keep in mind that while working on your capstone, you’ll still have to complete other written assignments. Simply say, ‘ Write my essay , EssaPro!’ and our experts will take it from there.

Capstone Project Ideas to Get You Started  

Generating capstone project ideas is a multifaceted process that involves introspection, research, and collaboration. Begin by reflecting on your personal interests and passions within your academic field. Consider the topics that have captured your curiosity throughout your studies, and think about areas where you'd like to apply your knowledge more extensively. Additionally, review your coursework, assignments, and past projects to identify subjects that stood out or sparked your enthusiasm.

Stay abreast of current issues and trends in your field by perusing academic journals, industry publications, and news sources. This awareness can help you pinpoint emerging challenges or gaps that your capstone project could address. Engage in brainstorming sessions with peers, professors, or industry professionals to gain different perspectives and foster creative thinking. Collaborative discussions often lead to novel ideas and innovative approaches. Furthermore, explore interdisciplinary opportunities, combining insights from various disciplines, as these projects can offer unique solutions and perspectives. 

As you generate ideas, consider the practical applications of your academic knowledge, aiming for projects with tangible real-world impacts. Finally, evaluate the feasibility of potential projects, ensuring they align with your long-term academic or career goals and are achievable within given constraints. Remember, the process is iterative, and refining or combining ideas may lead to a distinctive and compelling capstone project. If that doesn’t work, the best solution is to use capstone project writing services that can save you lots of time and nerves, as well as deliver a brilliant paper.
