Unit 6: Campaign Integration and Capstone
Unit purpose
Synthesize the complete course into a small, ethical 30-day campaign with clear evidence, accessibility, limits and an improvement decision.
Responsible-practice boundary
This handout teaches planning and evaluation. It does not guarantee traffic, rankings, revenue, platform approval or business results. Verify current platform rules, advertising requirements, consent duties and disclosure obligations before a real campaign. Use hypothetical budgets unless an authorized adult or organization approves spending.
Conclusions: Build, Measure and Improve
Topic: Integration and next steps
Subtopic: Minimum viable campaign, experiment design, review, iteration and lifelong learning
A minimum viable campaign is the smallest responsible marketing system that can test a clear idea with a real audience. It uses a defined goal, one useful offer, a small channel mix, measurement, a review date and a decision rule for improving, pausing or stopping.
Source-context note: The conclusion stresses that internet marketing is broad and constantly changing. Use the curriculum as a durable method for learning—not as a claim that every platform tactic will remain current.

Illustration task
Draw a campaign wheel: research → create → publish → distribute → measure → learn. Place audience value at the centre and ethics around the outer edge.
Applied activity
Assemble the unit evidence into a 30-day minimum viable campaign. Include baseline, calendar, assets, channel roles, budget ceiling, disclosures, accessibility checks, indicators and a final review meeting.
