● Case studies of real clients, for the complete achievement of the theory imparted.
 
Emerging marketing project
 
● Market and consumer research to spot an opportunity, without having to create something that is not invented, perhaps
 
simply improve what already exists.
 
● Create a small business that vibrates social awareness into your DNA, more beyond seeking economic profitability. This company must be able to
 
be extrapolable to the online environment and more specifically ecommerce.
 
Sensory marketing
