THE PROJECT

We are looking for a content strategy to further increase customer understanding of MiTravel which will be implement during the course of project term. The main goal of the content strategy is to better capture our avid group travel planners’ attention and increases their interest in MiTravel as well as their understanding of how to use the MiTravel Planning Board effectively, through creating engaging, entertaining and educational content.

Selected students can choose from the following channels including (but not limited to) blog posts, Discord, Pinterest, Tik Tok, Youtube videos and etc. For a better idea of current channels available for MiTravel, you can check out this link: https://www.liinks.co/mitravelapp

To ensure the successful delivery of this project, we outline some key tasks and basic timeline which selected students will perform:

• Week 1: Gain a better understanding of what MiTravel is as a company and platform, and conduct preliminary primary or secondary market research to strengthen your understanding of the group travel planner demographic, and assess best practices of how to provide educational content.
• Week 1: Work collaboratively with the group of selected students to develop and present your strategy pitch + implementation plan to the Founder & CEO that will improve our brand / product presence, educate our existing and potential user base, and make non-users want to sign-up for the platform.
• Week 2-7: Implement your content strategy across channel(s) you and your group of selected students have chosen. Review weekly metrics of the KPIs set to measure how your strategy is proceeding forward (what's working / not working).
• Week 7: Analyze project implementation and consolidate into a final deliverable (i.e. what you worked on over the past 7 weeks, what were the results, any challenges that you faced, what would you do differently, key learnings and takeaways) which will be presented to the team during the Wrap-Up Showcase & Social Party.
