In addition to stating the objective of the plan, it should include the background of why the ultimate goal is important. Breakdown of Apple’s current social media presence – This will help us get a clear look at the organization’s current strategy. It should detail the social media channels Apple is already using, the type of content they are sharing, and follower count on each platform. • Carefully define the demographics of the target market(s) by age, income, education, and lifestyle – Identify and discuss the demographics that should be included in the social media campaign for the iShirt.
