Instructions: Think about how you will get out the information that you so diligently put together for your project. Research the most appropriate type of Marketing Plan that fits your project. Remember that within government, communication is often lacking, and as a result people mistrust what is being disseminated. Therefore, include all of your stakeholders as you deliver your Marketing Plan proposal, and be open to their ideas. Buy-in from the majority of your stakeholders will help enhance your Capstone Project’s success.
