Key Messages, Public Relations and Marketing Plans for National Food Trucks Assn

The Food Trucks Association of Canada registered as a federal nonprofit corporation in early Fall, 2020. However, this is the first year that its members have had the opportunity to operate without interruption due to COVID-19 impacts. We're looking to start fresh with renewed strategic plans, and this will result in changes to our marketing & communication, and monetization plans moving forward. Based on the outline of your course and student learning opportunity, this work looks to be an excellent fit.
