Companies should be selected based upon key criteria (eg industry, presence in key geographic locations, size/growth rate, etc.) that will be defined at project kickoff. Information to be collected should include: contact information for a specific role (eg name, title, email, phone) and other publicly available data that will be defined at project kickoff (eg size, employee count, key customers, etc.).

Content creation

The content should include supporting data and external sources obtained through research. The article should be approximately 800-1,200 words.

Competitive review

Identify key followers, customers, partners, and advocates based upon engagement and content. Review user feedback, social media comments, and competitors' behaviors to identify new trends and opportunities. Include examples that convey key points.

Industry analysis

Prepare a summary that details the size of the industry, key trends, major competitors, growth rate, regulation, and other key information.  As part of the report, include references to third-party research.

If you need something different, don’t worry.  It’s still really easy to craft your own project in under five minutes. 

Please note: projects will be set to launch one week after posting them and deliverables will be due two weeks after you select a candidate. To the extent you require different timing, please let us know.
