Project Examples

Beginning this January, groups of four College-level student-consultants will spend 80 hours per team working to generate actionable consumer insights and branding opportunities for your organization.

Project examples include, but are not limited to:

  • Researching what triggers consumer actions to acquire new customers.
  • Explaining why consumers care about your company to increase brand loyalty.
  • Researching and action on what desires and motivations your customers have to increase retention.
  • Describing current or potential consumer attitudes toward a product or service.
  • Providing recommendations on your digital presence to effectively appeal to your target market and to further enhance your brand.
