Project Summary: 

Looking to elevate your organization and cultivate engagement with your brand? Bring on learners from Brenau University to be your learner-consultants, in a project-based experience, to determine how to reach your desired audiences with persuasive messaging. Learners will work on one main project over the experience of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.


Learners in this program/experience will conduct research on your organization and goals through an initial informative speech project. Their work will culminate in a persuasive speech project that explores how to best identify with and reach your intended audiences through channels of communication such as social media and email.


What can our learners do for your company?


Learners in groups of 3-5 will work with your company to identify your needs and provide actionable recommendations for achieving your communication goals, based on their in-depth research and analysis.
