and on following trends which will be accepted by customers. Branding is done in that way I
which target market will be known about company. So company will place advertisements
relating to T-shirt challenge on Facebook, Instagram and blogs. Social media is used by
youngsters on large scale and these challenge will be accomplished by youngsters only. Teens
are using social media and websites on large scale which will attract customers towards

will not incur cost on marketing on social media. Company will only incur cost on preparing t
shirts with company logo.
Through these t shirt challenge I have learned about creativity skills and team work
skills. In these t shirt challenge I will say that t shirt challenge will be completed by way of
team work. Leaders are one which are managing team work and managing employees. So,

used as the marketing tool by company. Corporate social responsibility can be used as
marketing tool by company because company will build positive image in market on base of
the social work done by company. For example star bucks is known for corporate social
