Driving Questions: Why do brands matter? How can we revitalize a product that has flopped?
Your very first project for the Strategic Communications pathway is to rebrand a product that is declining in popularity, or just never really “made it.” In groups of three or four, you will identify a failing product and create a campaign to remake its image. Along the way, you will learn the basics of branding, messaging, advertising strategy and what it takes to sell the story of a winning product.
