Project Examples

Requirements

Students will be able to work on a variety of digital marketing projects including but not limited to:

  • Digital Marketing - Provide recommendations on what methods you can use to leverage and improve your marketing strategy and/or grow and engage your target audience based on your organization's goals. Areas of focus include Digital Paid Media, Search Engine Optimization, Online Direct Marketing, Social Media and Content Management, Website and Content Management, Digital Marketing Analytics
  • Social Media: An analysis of how to leverage social media channels to reach different customer groups
  • User Experience & User Interaction - Bring a user-centered lens to your project.

Project Timeline:

The project is expected to go into two phases as follows:

  1. Phase 1 (February 22 - April 20): Students are focused on completing coursework in their full-time training program. Once a project is matched with a student project team, we expect that during this phase the initial project communications and sharing of project materials/resources can begin to ensure project objectives are agreed upon before starting Phase 2.
  2. Phase 2 (April 20 - May 20): Students have completed the coursework in their training program and will be focused and working full time on your project.

Important notes:

  • Please set clear project objectives with your student project team. Given the short timeframes, the goal/objective of the proposed project should be relatively simple.
  • Please note students are not to be treated as temporary workers (ie: not managing your social media or building your website) but they will provide recommendations (including mock-ups) on how to best solve your challenge. The main objective of this project is for the students to learn.
  • Your organization must offer a Non-disclosure agreement (NDA). The agreement should allow the students to show what they have done in the project and demonstrate samples of the work done. Confidential information can be removed.
  • An IP agreement should be provided by your organization and signed by the students and a representative from your organization.
  • If no IP or NDA is required for the project, please offer this in writing to the students to avoid future conflicts.

Additional company criteria

Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:

A representative of the company will be available to answer questions from students in a timely manner for the duration of the project.

A representative of the company will be available for a pre-selection discussion with the administrator of the course to review the project scope to confirm it's an appropriate fit for the course and students.

Have project materials, data, etc. ready to provide to students at the start of the project.
