Assessment 2: Social Media Engagement Report and Presentation
Weighting: 30%
Task Description
This assessment task requires the submission of TWO (2) FILES (i.e., one Word file and one PowerPoint file). 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).
You are required to select one of the following brands:
- Bonds
- Billabong
- Coles
- Domain Real Estate
- Flight Centre Australia
- Kmart Australia
- Lorna Jane
- Qantas
- Vegemite
- Woolworths
- Jetstar
Analyse your chosen brand’s 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. The report should include a recommendation section for your chosen brand. The main body of the report should be 1500 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
NB: The brand you select will also be used in the Assessment 3 task.
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.
