Building New Partnerships

Recently, we’ve been focusing more of our attention towards working with interior designers, architects and builders to reach more business and residential customers. To date, we have completed a round of direct outreach via email to interior designers and have had very positive responses. Many have added our products to their catalogs and we’ve already received a few orders for business office renovations. These companies act as the middle person between us and the end user. They make great partners because they have their own clients who are already in-market for a renovation or new build project. Your goal for this project will be to optimize how we form and maintain partnerships with interior designers, architects and builders. This will include helping us optimize our customer success process, improve marketing emails, create a targeted landing page and recommend a customer success process from pre-sale to post-purchase.

Marketing Strategy Plan

We want students to help us build a marketing strategy plan to grow and engage our target market: brick and mortar businesses, including hotels, grocery and retail, medical offices, recreation centres, and universities. Each target market requires different marketing strategies to reach the associated decision makers, so we recommend students choose only 1 target market to focus on. We’d like to know how we can maximize use of different channels and get recommendations to improve our messaging.The main questions we’d like students to help us answer are the following:How do students currently perceive our brand and marketing, based on publicly available information about our company?What channels should we utilize for promotion, including ones we are not currently using?How could our messaging be updated to better explain our value proposition?What's the most cost-effective strategy to reach our target market?

After much success in helping organizations simplify indoor living, True is now expanding its product lineup to simplify outdoor living through the dispensing of electricity to streamline the adoption of Electric Vehicles (EV). Our objective is to aid residential stratas in upgrading their parking lots to include EV charging stations for residents. In order to optimize our process, it is necessary that we have the right strategies and tools in place to make the greatest impact. Your goal for this project will be to assess and suggest ways to improve the existing customer buying journey. You will then work through each phase of the journey to recommend sales and marketing strategies for success. If time permits, you will do the same for the post-sales process as well. Additionally, the suggestions you make should fit with our Freshworks as this is the software we use for our CRM, sales and marketing.

Development of Electric Charging System

OverviewWe are an early-stage startup focused on creating a cleaner future for our people and lands by developing sustainable technologies.The electrification of the transportation sector underway leads us to look ahead to develop smart and innovative vehicle charging technologies that will support the transition and decarbonization of our cities.As V2G technology rolls out, a concern is the lack of a standard bi-directional EV charging protocols as well as the lack of standard/compatible charging connectors. Currently, only a handful of EVs support V2G and bidirectional DC charging, and only a few EVs currently feature V2H technology.Main goal To create a project plan for building the new electric charging systen with a timeline and budget.This is a very exciting opportunity because the top project will be presented to our financial partnerships to seek funding that will enable the building of the charging system.
