COM 540 Final Project II Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric
In this milestone assignment, you will present the content you have created (authentic content) and curated so far for your personal online branding. You will discuss/justify the platforms you chose and what the conventions/advantages are of each platform. You will also discuss and share examples of the content that you created and curated thus far. You will discuss your content and why you chose to include certain curated items and why you created others, being sure to explain how the curated and authentic content you posted supports your brand. You will also discuss why the platform and content work together and how they fulfill the “best practices” you established in your guidelines in your brand identity paper. This milestone assignment will directly contribute to the successful completion of the Final Project II presentation. Your instructor will provide you with feedback so that any needed revisions can be incorporated into your final presentation, which will be due in Module Nine.
In your presentation, you will also want to be sure to include a reflection on what you have done so far to create and maintain/improve upon your brand and analyze your decisions.
