Expected outcomes and deliverables

Students will submit a detailed marketing plan including their research, analysis, insights, and recommendations. Since the level of information available and the presentation of material (including visuals, etc.) will vary based on the project scenario, there is no set length defined for the report; however, it is fair to expect a roughly 20-page report with a concise executive summary of all key findings and recommendations.

Project Examples

Requirements

Based on research and analysis of your company, competitors and overall environmental trends, the student-consultants will identify future opportunities for the organization and provide actionable recommendations.

Instead of focusing on one area of your business, the team will perform a comprehensive analysis of your organization, including internal (e.g., financial health; customer base; strategic capabilities) and external (e.g., competitors; industry and market trends; customer behaviour) factors. This will lead to insights and recommendations that address the needs of your organization. However, organizations are encouraged to provide a goal or suggested area of focus to guide students. Project examples include but are not limited to:

  • Market study and opportunity validation: Providing research and recommendations on what what marketing strategies to employ to launch a new business or product line.
  • Growth strategies: Identifying and analyzing opportunities for growth through market assessments, new product development, brand extensions, etc.
  • Marketing mix validation: Completing a detailed assessment of market factors, competitive landscape, and brand positioning to review and recommend marketing strategies and tactics for your firm.
