Assignment 2: Social Marketing Campaigns

Social marketing uses traditional marketing concepts to change health behavior, with the ultimate outcome of a healthier population. Social marketing campaigns have been used to raise awareness of risk and risk behaviors, to promote the adoption of healthy behaviors, and to encourage cessation of unhealthy behaviors. In this assignment, you will be analyzing social marketing campaigns.

For this assignment, select two social marketing campaigns that have been conducted on the same health issue. (Unprotected intercourse among teens). Be sure to select social marketing campaigns or health issues different from those you used in previous discussion questions, assignments, or the final project.

• Compare and contrast the campaigns in terms of the definitions of social marketing provided in the readings.
• Examine the outcomes or objectives for each campaign.
• Describe the intervention strategies for each campaign.
• Conclude the paper with your recommendation for the most effective campaign, giving a brief justification.
