Overview
Learner goals and capabilities

Student-consultants will create a promotional plan for your organization and develop promotional materials across different media. You will normally manage multiple groups during the semester. We either choose 1 or 2 companies based on the quality of the applicants. This way you are assured to have multiple perspectives as our class consists of 35 students broken into 6 teams.

Expected outcomes and deliverables

Your organization will receive the following deliverables in three phases:

  1. A background document, including promotional plan objectives, creative theme, and key messaging.
  2. A broadcast script, print samples, and other predetermined interactive and sales promotions.
  3. Public relations materials, event or sponsorship materials, and personal selling or direct response promotions.
Project Examples

Beginning in September, groups of five to six 3rd year Undergraduate student-consultants will spend 300 hours over the course of the semester creating a promotional plan for your company.


Students will research your organization and industry and develop a strategic plan of promotion, based on your objectives. The plan will include samples of promotional materials in different media, such as scripts, print ads, press releases, and sponsorships.


Project scope can include, but is not limited to:

  • Reaching a new target market.
  • Promoting a new product.
  • A special sale or event.
