Overview
As a communications professional, you will be required to establish a variety of communication responses to real-world scenarios. The ability to align specific communication responses with preferred mass media formats will ensure that you are able to respond to an array of situations within different workplace environments.
In Final Project One, you built a portfolio of strategic written, verbal, and visual mass media communication responses to real-world challenges in a variety of employment realms. In your portfolio, you demonstrated your ability to be innovative and creative with your approach to formulating responses. Your comprehensive portfolio positions you as a knowledgeable communication professional and validates your brand identity.
In Final Project Two, you will create a presentation that represents strategic communication best practices through mass media formats (traditional and new media). The presentation will allow you to reflect on the formulation of your professional brand identity illustrated in your Final Project One portfolio. As you create your presentation, reflect on your mission statement direction (created in the Communication, Media, and Society course). Also, reflect on your chosen path for future career goal attainment. Your presentation should communicate the strategic best practices you will use to achieve your goals and career position and brand yourself as a knowledgeable communications professional.
