Overview

Real accounts, not practice ones

Each team is assigned a host business, such as a cafe or a travel agency. Students plan, shoot and edit short videos, run the posting schedule and try online store campaigns, then review the results in views, saves, inquiries and sales.

Generative AI is used for planning, scripts, design and analysis. Students also work hands-on with the changes at the front line of marketing, such as getting found through AI search.
