Overview
Details

Your organization has a product or service requiring a marketing plan. Up to six student teams in each cohort will spend over 10 weeks (40+ hours) conducting research and developing a Strategic Marketing Plan including recommendations for implementation. Students will conduct a situation analysis, research your product/service (including potential target market, competitors, and industry considerations), formulate alternatives, and recommend strategies and implementation plans. All students in each cohort will work on your plan and in the end, you will receive up to six Strategic Marketing Plans.

  • Developing a strategic marketing plan for a new or existing business, product, or service
  • Developing a new product launch plan
  • Rebranding or marketing of an existing product
  • Market research or competitive analysis
  • Expansion strategy
