Based on your organizational goals, student teams (3-4 students per team, or "agency") will develop a strategically focused integrated marketing communications campaign for your brand, utilizing effective communication strategies, informed by secondary market research. The company ("client") will work with student teams and the instructor throughout a 14-week semester from September 2024 until December 2024. Teams will present their communication campaign ideas to the company at the end of the project in an agency pitch format.

We need clients who are willing to mentor students as they engage a real-world digital media project. This project could be in web design, graphic or game design, photo/video, branding, online marketing including social media, or potential other business needs.Projects will be provided to students and matches made between groups and projects in early February. Groups will be selecting projects based on their interests and course of study, therefore your project may not be chosen but we will keep you informed of your project’s status. Projects should be general proof-of-concept work, not completed finished products (e.g., a website design would provide a market analysis and general information architecture layout, but may be filled with placeholder content).Projects will be presented at the end of the term (April 1st, 2024) at an on campus event. Clients are welcome to attend the presentation, and pursue further (paid) work with student groups as they choose.If you are interested in submitting an application for this course, please complete the form HERE (or visit https://forms.gle/1hrjLFavmdav2uJb6).
