Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from Kwantlen Polytechnic University to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main marketing communications project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.
Students in this marketing communications course learn the essential marketing communications skills associated with strategic planning, briefing creative services, and delivering creative projects through a variety of traditional and contemporary marketing media. They learn how key messages and graphic standards are delivered effectively and consistently to achieve marketing communications objectives.
We are looking to partner with clients only in BC, Alberta, or Ontario (please only submit your project if you are located in one of these provinces).
