RESUBMISSION: SELF-REFLECTION
MindCloud primarily aims at teenagers, and therefore the diet of content, messaging, and features of the campaign has to tickle the fancies of that audience. Feedback from my follower group plays a pivotal role in ensuring the effectiveness, relevance, and engagement of the campaign. What I really did in the beginning was to downplay the extent to which feedback could sway the whole course of this project. The deeper I dug into the testing and feedback process, it became more evident to me that my followers would need to be actively involved in creating the destiny of the project. Given the nature of MindCloud, it becomes exceedingly necessary to know how a teenager will see and interact with mental health content. Teenagers are confused with their emotions at this time, and their needs and concerns should be built into the development of content. By testing the advertisements on my target audience and securing their feedback, I am able to make sure that the information is properly accessible and relatable to all. Accordingly, if the content speaks to the experiences of my followers, then they will engage it and take the messages seriously. Engagement is crucial for the success of the campaign, for MindCloud is about creating awareness, reducing stigma, and providing support in mental health. Furthermore, feedback from my followers also enables me to polish and fine-tune the campaigns as they come to change. Regardless of the theorizing and designing I have gone through, one thing I have learned is that there are always going to be pieces I would never see or comprehend until the audience articulates it.
This is the area where their feedback becomes valuable for improving through content tone, visuals, and delivery elements. At other times, feedback is concentrated on things I had ignored, like verbal decisions and the timing of certain messages. The more available I become to receive this feedback, the more I can elude finding MindCloud failing to walk down its purpose and meeting the needs of its target audience It's one lesson I've learned that feedback doesn't always involve giving praise; constructive criticism can help me grow from it. Yes, it can be demoralizing if feedback is not rave about everything, but I have learned that each bit of criticism is another chance to make the project stronger. My followers' perspectives actually allow me to step aside and view the campaign from other angles to ensure that I am not only making something meaningful but also effective in impact. Furthermore, during the campaign, I will change things as I go based on what works and what doesn't, which is of utmost necessity to continue the momentum and relevance of MindCloud. Basically, getting feedback from my audience is redundant without the necessary success ratio for MindCloud. It taught me to be in tandem with the audience and to be flexible as the project evolves. With feedback, I have gained an in-depth understanding of what resonates with the audience and how best to serve their needs. This iteration of continuous testing and refining makes MindCloud a very relevant and usable resource to teenagers trying to tackle mental health issues.
