Ideally, you would put them in the introduction. e.g.

Social Media Marketing is X. It is important because Y. The implementation of of a social media marketing campaign can be seen in the business activities of Coca-Cola and their recent Share A Coke project.

It's hard to give a good example, because I don't have a decent question on me, but hopefully you get the idea.

You can, but it never looks as good, and you won't do as well if you make stuff up.

Yeah it's alright to make stuff up. My teacher encourages it and I've just chosen a business I visit a lot and thought about what strategies they would use etc. It's easier too I reckon.

But some people think otherwise, so it's up to you. 2 case studies is fine

That's a bit different to making up a case study entirely. While I don't entirely think it's a great idea, it's better than making up something completely off the top of your head.
