  VOLUNTARY ADDITIONAL ASSIGNMENT:

  Hi there! We're thrilled that you're interested in joining our award-winning marketing team. We receive many applications and we want to make sure you shine bright among the rest. To help you stand out, we have an optional assignment that can help set you apart.

  The assignment revolves around our incredibly popular model, the Heritage 231 Center Console. This boat was one of the original Sportsman models and is known for its exceptional family features. The Heritage is one of the best-selling boats on the market year after year. It perfectly balances family-friendly amenities with top-notch fishing capabilities, making it a standout choice.

  By completing this assignment, you'll have a chance to showcase your skills and demonstrate your understanding of this impressive boat. We believe it's a fantastic opportunity for you to make a memorable impression.

  Task 1

  Download the full video walkthrough footage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPG2yf_CYmw and using the B-roll footage, create a teaser-style 30-60 second video that showcases the boat and the family lifestyle. The video should be exciting and energetic. Use your creativity to craft a compelling story of this family’s day out on the water. Make sure to find music that matches your editing style and showcase your creativity, skills and abilities. Remember that while you have complete creative freedom, it should still be on-brand for Sportsman.

  Task 2

  Using information provided by Sportsman ( https://www.sportsmanboatsmfg.com/ ), write a companion blog post for the video created in task 1. Take a teacher’s approach and teach the features and more importantly, the benefits of the boat. Think like a buyer, what sort of questions would you have if you were just learning about Sportsman and the boat for the first time? What is the good? and bad? Try to answer those questions in a neutral point of view as best as you can while still providing plenty of valuable content that will capture your readers. If you want some ideas, you can always check out our blog ( https://www.sportsmanboatsmfg.com/blog ).

  Once completed, upload your video submission to YouTube as an unlisted video and send the link, along with a PDF of the blog post and your full name to i smith@sportsmanboatsmfg.com to be reviewed.

  Thank you for taking the time to complete the tasks and we are looking forward to seeing your work!
