Juice Truck Marketing Plan

Juice Truck Marketing Plan

Semester long project developing a potential marketing plan for a local food truck in Vancouver (The Juice Truck). Worked through analysis, objectives, strategies, marketing mix, recommendations and implementation plan.

Main concept was to integrate a digital storytelling campaign to emphasize main points of differentiation alongside a user-generated video contest to determine a new juice and story.
