Healing Bus Social Media Strategy

The Healing Bus creates an inclusive experience that shares knowledge and demonstrations of various healing practices such as breath work, art therapy, and movement therapy. The goal is to develop a comprehensive social media strategy to effectively promote the Healing Bus. The strategy should raise awareness, engage the community, and encourage participation in the healing practices. Learners will need to apply their knowledge of digital marketing, social media management, and content creation to craft a strategy that resonates with the target audience. The project will involve researching best practices, identifying key platforms, and creating a content calendar.

Marketing Strategy for Hybrid Live/Virtual Events

We just launched our Discuss Bus a few months before the pandemic started and then we had to park the bus. A learning from the16 month pause was the need for a virtual component to our live experience. About the Discuss Bus... We bring incredible thought leaders together, the go to people in their field, they speak on the latest happenings not only in the community, but our world. Their insights spark passionate, emotional discussions, creating the fuel and connections to drive change from innovative ideas into reality. Our Discuss Bus is a vintage VW Bus, it can go to events, schools, shopping districts, farmers markets, conventions, etc. When we get there we pull out lawn chairs and get the conversation started!To compliment our live/in-person events, we are looking to develop a robust platform to virtually share all the conversations with streaming and archiving opportunities. We create engaging conversations around the country and with diverse audiences. We are looking for recommendations for sharing this content with minimal production costs and efforts. With proof of concept continuing through Q1 of 2022, we are looking for expansion opportunities like regional and national tours, sponsors and licensing beginning in Q2 2022.The main questions we’d like students to help us answer are the following:What are the best tools to capture, create, manage and share conversations and content?How do we determine and find mission aligned corporate sponsors?What financial opportunities can we leverage with our content? Advertising, sponsorship and promotions.How do we maximize our social reach?
