Beyond zero campaign strategy:
A campaign strategy is a plan to achieve certain goals within a limited time. It’s usually employed by companies who have decided they need promotion for their products or services but have not yet decided the scope of the promotional effort.
The “beyond zero awards” were formed with an objective to engage students into various STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) related domains. These awards have been formed by a team led by Prof Dr. Anish Kohli from Manipal University.
The “beyond zero campaign strategy” will be a 3 pronged approach to promote these awards across all schools in Indian, the International academic arena(erences, seminars, etc.) where many students are expected to participate, and finally, across all colleges in India.
The campaign strategy will outline the complete plan to promote these awards on various social media channels, through outbound marketing efforts, etc. A special focus will be given to building an online community around the beyond zero awards.
Achievement of beyond zero campaign:
Achieved a total of 20,000 views on social media sites, college campuses, and school students from across India.
established an online community for the awards with around 3000 members. A proper CRM(Customer Relationship Management) system was also implemented to handle all interactions among members of the community.
