Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

Filz Candle Co. is preparing to bring to market a patent-pending, refillable candle jar. The main focus of this project will be creating content (primarily video content) to raise brand awareness.


We would like to work with students who are comfortable being in front of a camera to create video content for various social media platforms to educate the public on our product. You will be responsible for strategizing social media campaigns and developing the respective social media content (pictures, videos, posts, etc.,). You will also be responsible for analyzing the social media content and helping to develop social media campaigns.


This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

  • Familiarizing themselves with our company’s products, social media campaign goals and target market.
  • Identifying social media channels and strategies suitable for our company.
  • Planning types of campaign content to create for various channels (TikTok, Fb, IG, Pinterest, YouTube)
  • Identifying metrics to monitor throughout the campaign.
  • Creating social media content (this will be the primary focus)
