The different teams each did a very great job of tracking their success. During the presentations, the groups discussed different strategies they each used to employ the strategies of their campaign plans in real life.   Meeting with business owners and getting permission to use their brand was a common first step, and afterwards, discussion on how the businesses wanted to be promoted and represented.
