“Social media advertising is one of the most
powerful tools in a business's marketing arsenal. Businesses can reach a larger
audience with their message by targeting a specific audience and using relevant
keywords” (Upwork, 2022). The projected cost for
the challenge totals $550,000. This budget includes $200,000 allocated for
targeted social media advertising to maximize visibility and reach.
Collaborations with influencers are budgeted at $150,000, ensuring that the
campaign gains traction among influential voices in the gaming community.
Prizes, primarily consisting of free games, are estimated to cost $50,000.
Marketing and creative production, essential for creating compelling content
and promotional materials, are set at $100,000. An additional $50,000 is reserved
for miscellaneous costs that may arise during the execution of the campaign.
This comprehensive budget aims to ensure the campaign is impactful and widely
noticed.
The investment in the challenge is justified by its potential to drive significant returns. Increased sales are anticipated as the campaign's exposure and engagement boost interest in Take-Two’s games. A conservative estimate of a 10% increase in sales among the 1.3 million target customers, with an average game price of $60, could generate approximately $7.8 million in additional revenue. Engaging customers through this interactive event enhances brand loyalty and customer retention, leading to sustained future sales. The user-generated content from the campaign provides valuable marketing material, reducing future promotional costs. Insights into customer preferences and behaviors gathered during the campaign will refine future marketing strategies. The viral potential of social media campaigns could exponentially increase reach and engagement, amplifying the campaign's effectiveness and return on investment.
