## 3.2 Marketing Content Creator
An activity where students create their own marketing content to sell a good or service. This includes identifying the product, consumer profile, brand, and marketing strategy and then designing a website, landing pages, and various advertisements.

## 3.3 Advertising Simulation
The Advertising Simulation allows students to practice placing ads, tracking performance metrics, and optimizing an ad budget to maximize profit. Students identify a good or service to market, set the selling price and cost of sales, define a marketing strategy, and then place ads to achieve the highest Profit and Return on Ad Spend (ROAS). 

The experience is all simulated. This makes it easy to practice difficult marketing concepts in a short period of time. There’s no financial risk. And students don’t have to set up multiple accounts on real-world ad networks.
