NOTE:
A Social Marketing Campaign should only be reported if you are developing, implementing, or evaluating it during the current reporting period.
NOTE:
Social marketing is not always the same as social media. Please see Item 5, question 4 in the current EARS FAQ document for more details regarding social marketing vs. social media. Some social media efforts may instead be reported in the Indirect Activities module as indirect education.

The red asterisk * next to the heading of a field indicates that the field is required. You will not be able to save the record until you have added input into that field.
✓ TIP:
The PEARS Team recommends using a separate intervention for each Social Marketing Campaign your organization is reporting. This provides the most accurate and effective method to report reach.
