Emma Chamberlain’s New Coffee Blend: A Spirit of Thanksgiving

In my PR250 class, I created a public relations campaign so that Emma Chamberlain could advertise her new Thanksgiving Coffee Blend using food trucks that would visit several Los Angeles-area colleges' campuses. This presentation gives a general idea of how something would look.

Any resemblance to actual events is coincidental.
