• Welcome to the Sports and Entertainment Marketing Pathway! While taking this pathway, many students have created their own successful online business. Many have also gone on to compete in DECA events where they traveled the country winning money and trophies while racking up accolades to add to their college resumes.  Whether you want to impress employers and colleges, or you just want to watch Shark Tank, learn how to market businesses or  use some creative technology to create things for your social media pages or websites, this class is for you!

     

    In this super-creative and fun pathway, you will watch shows like Shark Tank and The Profit and work with real businesses to gain knowledge about the 7 functions of marketing. After learning how to create a full marketing plan, you will use this knowledge to create a marketing strategy for your own online business (or business idea).  This plan will include marketing and promotional items that you will create by using fun technology tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, Weebly and Garageband.  You will also discover other types of multimedia tools that will help you impress other teachers and make the coursework much easier in your other classes. 

    The major focus of each class is listed below.  Please note that these serve merely as general guidelines designed to give you an idea about what to expect in each class. Multiple lessons coincide with each line item and an exhaustive list of learning topics will be provided to students in class.
