Project Examples

Starting in February, a senior-level undergraduate student will spend over 20 hours serving your organization as a Public Relations Specialist. He or she will get to know your business, key messaging, and value proposition in order to understand how to best position your brand.

Based on the information gathered and other relevant research, the student-consultant will create professional press kit materials that can be used by your organization for media relations, marketing collateral or investors. The student will collaborate with you on ways to positively showcase your company in the materials.

Press kit materials are ideal for sharing with media, investors, Board members and for use in marketing efforts.
