For my marketing plan, Instagram serves as a central platform for building a strong and engaged community in promoting the program. Since it is a heavily used app by students aged 18-24, the goal is to grow the page's following by 25% within the first 3-6 months. This will be done through engaging tactics like giveaways that encourage students to tag friends, follow, and share the page. This tactic has been shown to boost engagement and an effective tactic in growing a following. Staying consistent with qualitative posting that is not redundant but informing, will be crucial for this platform. Essentially, having three posts a week with themed days such as Motivated Monday, Throwback Thursday, Spotlight Saturday; where students previously enrolled that have completed the program share their success stories, the platform can share different accomplishments/events the program succeeded in, and where students who are currently enrolled can receive a spotlight for their hard wrok and efforts. This approach not only boosts visibility but also builds a more connected and supported community online.

This platoform serves as a powerful tool to reach students through relatable and trend-driven content. The strategy centers around creating personalized videos, such as "day in the life" of a health coach or a student enrolled in the Health and Wellness Coaching program, to offer an inside look into what the program truly entails. This approach helps students feel more connected and informed. Additonally, interviewing students on campus about the biggest barriers they face in college, and showcasing those challenges in short videos will make the content highly relatable. By focusing on authenticity and using TikTok's wide reach, the goal is to build a space that not only educates but also fosters a supportive and community based atmosphere around health and wellness.
The mockup above titled "Breaking Burnout", showcases a student-centered video where different students are interviewed about the barriers that contribute to burnout.

It is an informative way to spark interest among students who may be curious but unsure of what the program involves.
