Sponsored ads can help ensure you engage customers at every stage of their shopping journey. In this activity, you will optimize a Sponsored Brands campaign for a key shopping period. First, you will read a client brief. Then, using this client brief, you will develop an advertising strategy for a sponsored ads campaign. You’ll build your recommendations around the brand’s advertising goals and the best practices you’ve learned about in the course. As you complete this activity, we will provide you “example” answers as feedback. These may not include all the possible answers. The feedback is there to give you an idea of what could be correct and the quality expected from your work.

Frequently asked questions
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
You will be eligible for a full refund until two weeks after your payment date, or (for courses that have just launched) until two weeks after the first session of the course begins, whichever is later.
