Description

In this subject, students are allocated to teams that operate as agencies. Each agency responds to an external client brief and pitches a strategy that helps solve the client’s problems. Students choose their client from a selection on offer from the for-profit, not-for-profit, or government sectors. As a team, students collaborate with peers as they problem solve and seek creative solutions in their development of an integrated communication strategy for their client. Based on the goals, objectives, stakeholders, and strategic directions identified in their communication strategy report, students design their presentation deck and pitch as an agency to industry panels. Students learn how to effectively pitch their solution to their client, utilising a range of techniques including storytelling, research insights and demonstration through campaign mock ups as part of their presentation. This subject helps students understand industry-standard expectations and equips them with work-ready professional skills and knowledge.
