Students who apply into the program are screened and interviewed for their skill, will and interest to withstand the rigor of this program. Ten top students (divided into 2 competing teams) dive into the marketing challenge and present a go-to-market strategy to the companies' business/marketing leaders, who judge their presentations. Due to time limitations and criteria of the program, a maximum of only 5 companies can participate in this program. Key marketing leaders of each company are invited to engage at least twice with students: 1st to brief the teams and then to judge their presentations. The students are engaged to work on a live marketing challenge and companies walk away with a go-to-market strategy and creative marketing solutions.
