Integrated Marketing Communication Class

NO VACATION FOR MARKETING STUDENTS

Working with real business people

to solve real marketing challenges

is what students like best about Integrated Marketing 371.

During the 4.5 weeks of summer

school students worked with three different Richmond clients. Two

teams of three students made presentations to each client.

ASK and Vital Health INVA are

health related, and nListHelp.com

is a new internet business recently launched. 

To lay the groundwork, each client

was asked to make a presentation

to the students, emphasizing the

areas where they felt they could

use assistance. The students then formed mini-agencies, evaluated

the potential needs of their clients, developed an integrated marketing

plan and presented their

campaigns on August 8 and 9.

Suggestions spanned the creative

field from dramatic name changes

and logo redesign to media

strategy and budgets. Each project

was required to offer rational and emotional strategies and

measurement mechanisms. Each

client is presented with a portfolio

of the suggested solutions and a graphics CD. For two seniors this

was their last class in obtaining a

business degree. Christy Parrett

and Jaynelle Clafke will receive

their degrees at the December commencement.
