ABOUT THIS SIMULATION

Students run a small digital marketing agency and manage campaigns for a client. They divide a budget between PPC, social media, content marketing and SEO, then assess the results using clicks, website visits, conversion rates, time on site and sales. Gameplay focuses on identifying where the campaign is “leaking” and reallocating spending towards channels that produce meaningful outcomes rather than impressive-looking activity.
