Project Examples

We are wanting students to get as much exposure as possible to marketing within an organisation. That said, you do not need to have students doing every type of marketing known but a combination of several would be fantastic as it will show them firsthand how different types of marketing require different strategies be that times of posts being published or publishing articles on strategic websites and forums to draw attention to the company brand and reputation. This is a very dynamic course so we are open to discussions with regards to what you would like the students to work on during their 7-8 week tenure working with you.

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

A representative of the company will be available to answer questions from students in a timely manner for the duration of the project.

A representative of the company will be available for a pre-selection discussion with the administrator of the course to review the project scope.

A representative of the company would be able to grant viewer or guest access to at least one of the following platforms: Google Analytics (or any site analytics platform), social media accounts, paid advertising platforms, a marketing CRM.
