November Social Media Campaign: Plan, Produce & Schedule

Your final project is a focused, two-week campaign designed for Facebook, Instagram, X, and TikTok. Develop a consistent campaign idea, create platform-appropriate content, and organize all posts using the Adobe Express social media planner.

Campaign window: November 16–29, 2026. Publishing publicly is not required.

01 / What you will create

Quality matters more than volume. Your eight posts should feel like one campaign while taking advantage of the strengths of each platform. You may reuse campaign photography, graphics, and messaging, but adapt formats, captions, and calls to action for each audience.

Facebook

2 posts

Introduce the campaign and invite engagement.

Instagram

3 posts

Build visual recognition, tell a story, and prompt action. A carousel can count as one post.

X

2 posts

Develop concise messages and encourage conversation.

TikTok

1 video

Produce a short vertical video suited to the campaign and platform.

02 / Your campaign calendar

Schedule or organize your eight posts within November 16–29, 2026. The following is an example, not a mandatory posting sequence. Choose dates that support your campaign strategy.

Important: Your posts must be finished and visible in your Adobe Express planning calendar. If direct scheduling is unavailable because of account or platform limitations, document the intended dates and times in your planner and provide clear screenshots. You do not need to connect personal social media accounts or publish publicly.

Each milestone will have its own D2L Dropbox. Use feedback from the earlier stages to improve your final campaign. The November 10 and 15 dates are proposed; consult D2L for confirmed deadlines.

  • All eight completed posts, clearly labeled by platform, with their final visuals or video stills and captions.
  • A working link or accessible file for your TikTok video, if the video cannot be embedded in the PDF.
  • Adobe Express planner screenshots that clearly show the planned dates and posts for November 16–29.
  • A 150–200-word reflection explaining your creative choices, how the posts work together, and how you adapted content for different platforms.

Keep your editable Adobe Express files. Your instructor may ask to review them during critique or assessment.

The milestones reward preparation, progress, and thoughtful revision. The final assessment emphasizes campaign coherence, visual and written quality, platform-appropriate design, planning, and completeness.

06 / Before you submit

  • Confirm that you have exactly eight posts across the four required platforms.
  • Check spelling, accessibility, image quality, and caption readability.
  • Verify that the planner screenshots show the intended two-week schedule.
  • Open your PDF and video links to make sure they work.
  • Review your complete submission before uploading it to D2L.

Remember: A successful campaign is not just a collection of graphics. It is a coordinated sequence of messages designed for a particular audience and purpose.
