Marketing Project Plan and Integrated Advertising Campaign

As the marketing project manager, you are ready to present your marketing project plan and marketing campaign to your supervisor.

Use your work from the assignments, discussions, and activities in Weeks 2 through 4 to create a 10- to 15-slide voice-over presentation using either Microsoft® PowerPoint® or websites like Google Slides™, Adobe® Slate, or Prezi. As an alternative, you may also use speaker notes instead of the audio voice-over.

Part 1

The presentation should showcase your proposed marketing project plan and the integrated advertising campaign, and it should:

Summarize the need for your new hospital program in your community.
Identify key data points you collected that support the need for the new program.
Identify the chosen marketing strategy for your new program.
Define your targeted audience based on your market segmentation in previous assignments.
Include the specific message(s) you will use in your integrated advertising campaign.

Explain when and how you will evaluate your marketing project plan.
Identify a projected timeline of evaluation.
Identify tools you will use to evaluate your plan.
Identify resources and data that will be used to determine success in your marketing project plan and new program.
Based on anticipated changes in the future, discuss how health care marketing strategies can change.
Consider external influences that may guide strategy changes.

Part 2: Communication Plan To communicate the approved marketing plan to the entire company, I would use a combination of written and verbal methods. Here is a synthesis of how I would approach this: Written Communication: I would create a comprehensive marketing plan document that outlines the key aspects of the project. This document would include an executive summary, an overview of the need for the new program, details on the marketing strategy, target audience analysis, integrated advertising campaign messages, tasks and their order of importance, evaluation plans and timelines, resources and data for determining success, and anticipated changes in healthcare marketing strategies. This document would be shared with all employees via email or a company-wide intranet. Verbal Communication: I would schedule a company-wide meeting or webinar to present and discuss the marketing plan. During this presentation, I would use the slides from the voice-over presentation as visual aids. I would summarize each section of the plan, emphasizing its importance and relevance to the company's goals. I would encourage questions and discussion from employees to ensure clarity and understanding. Q&A Sessions: Following the presentation, I would schedule smaller group sessions or individual meetings to address any specific questions or concerns raised by employees. This would provide an opportunity for further clarification and ensure that everyone has a clear understanding of the marketing plan and their role in its implementation. By using a combination of written communication, verbal presentations, and interactive sessions, I aim to effectively communicate the marketing plan to the entire company. This approach ensures that all employees are informed about the project's objectives, strategies, timelines, and expected outcomes. Additionally, it allows for open dialogue, encourages employee engagement, and fosters a sense of ownership and commitment to the marketing plan's success.
