Task: Marketing Campaigns

Action

Do an interesting marketing campaign.

Example: For StartitUp, we can do a campaign called "StartitUp in 2013!", where we work with incubators to grant startups that complete the course an opportunity for funding.

Another Example: StartitUp launches a campaign called "Startup to Make a Better World" which gives away new knowledge packages unlocked by new signups.

Marketing Campaigns are basically promotions based on holidays, seasons, or current events to attract customers. We want to do this because sometimes just asking people to do something is not enough, so you must give them a cause or reason to.
