Project Examples

Requirements

Starting this January, Master's-level student-consultant teams of 5 or 6, will spend approximately 180 hours per team, per semester to develop and implement a strategic marketing plan that takes advantage of a current business opportunity you have identified for your firm

Based on the information that you provide, your goals, and student-consultants' marketing research and expertise, they will propose a strategic marketing plan the achieve your desired outcomes. This takes place from January - April

Upon your acceptance of their proposal, they will spend the May -early August period, implementing the plan.

Project examples include, but are not limited to:

  1. Evaluate your website against your objectives, make recommendations, and implement their recommendations to create a more compelling website.
  2. Analyze the effectiveness of your existing social media strategy and devise recommendations that they will subsequently implement.
  3. Identify a new customer segment for your market offering, develop a strategy to target this segment, and implement this strategy.

Additional company criteria

Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:

Minimum of 8-10 interactions with the students, either in person (preferable) or remotely (approximately 15-20hours over the duration of the project).

Given that our course places a fair bit of emphasis on numbers, we would need 3 years of revenue, margin and growth rates for the firm. Happy to sign an NDA if required

Provide a dedicated contact who will be available to answer periodic emails or phone calls over the duration of the project to address student’s questions or provide additional information.

For the implementation phase, the organization must give students the necessary resources to enable them to implement the solutions they have devised.
