  1. WWW: You've got a lot of detail and have met the 500 word requirement here. FIFA would make a good case study for the exam in June too.
    EBI: The presentation is very disappointing considering it is on your blog. One image, a block of text - and you haven't covered the five sections I outlined for the task. You have very little in terms of marketing and promotion and audience.
    LR: Go back to the post and add more images and embedded video. Break the text up using sub-headings and add more on audience and marketing.
