Project Examples

Based on the information you provide, students will develop an action plan that addresses issues and opportunities in marketing communication. They will provide concrete recommendations for marketing communication improvements, which will help your team to increase customer engagement, lead conversions and other marketing objectives.

Project examples include, but are not limited to:

  • Reviewing current marketing communication strategy in the light of objectives.
  • Conduct secondary research and analysis of the competitor's communication.
  • Research and brainstorm to develop measurable marketing strategies to enhance the overall customer engagement.
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:

Students are expected to start asap and submit the report by Dec 06, 2021. Will it be possible to provide them feedback by Dec 10, 2021, either via meeting or by mail to students and copy it to the instructor at gautamh1@cnc.bc.ca.

Will the company executive be able to schedule and meet approximately three meetings with the team to brief the students, touch base with the progress to have any questions from the team, and have a final meeting before submission of the report? The meeting can be online via zoom with students. [Tentative suggested weeks for the meeting are already provided in the project to ensure that it stays on track and wind-up in time]
