Almost 1,400 individuals participated in this year's Stukent Social Media Marketing Challenge. Using the Social Media Simternship™, students were tasked with managing a fictitious bag company’s weekly social media ad budget. Students played through 4 rounds of our Social Media Simternship and learned about audience targeting, content scheduling and promotion to drive product sales.
