social media campaign

Viral marketing effort

A social media campaign is a coordinated marketing effort across platforms like Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok, typically built around a specific goal, hashtag, or theme.

Campaigns may aim to build brand awareness, drive sales, or promote a cause: The nonprofit's social media campaign raised two million dollars.

Unlike ongoing social media presence, a campaign has a defined timeframe and measurable objectives.
