 Project types:

Projects teams can do 2 types of consulting projects.

Type 1: Internet-Based Business Plan.

In this type of project, your team is creating a new business based on a creative way of using the Internet for Marketing. Start-ups as such as CDNow, Amazon.com, I/Pro (advertising measurement) or FocalLink (advertising control and customization) are great examples of marketing-rich Internet start-ups. The key goal here is to back up the strength of the idea and concept with solid market and customer analysis.

  • Creating new online specialty sites,

  • Increase customer awareness of existing services,
  • Improving customer support.
