Brands4You (Lifetime site license)

The search is over!

When I first started teaching social media marketing, I wanted to make it a "real" experience. So, as you might expect, I had students create social media accounts and post the materials they created in class.

Just one problem. Target did not appreciate the flood of 50% off coupons coming into the store that originated on one of my student sites!
What could I do to make it real but stay on the good side of Target? (yes, my wife is a frequent shopper at Target!).

Here it is . . . Brand4You. This new website provides a handful of totally fake brands (or faux if you like the sound of that better). The brands include an energy drink, pizza restaurant, skincare solutions, a credit union, cruise line, athletic apparel, and a university (specifically the athletic department). I will add more brands over time.

Each brand includes a brief description and collection of brand assets that can be downloaded and used anywhere and in any way!
