MARKETING AWARD: HOW IT WORKS
Schools receive the ISKO I-SKOOL™ Marketing Award Rules and Brief and are assisted by the Tutors in their projects’ development.
Based on the 2018 “UnDocumented” theme and on the market scenario outlined in the Marketing Award Brief, students are asked to develop a complete marketing strategy that successfully addresses a specific audience.
The strategy will be intended for an existing consumer brand which is launching a line of clothing and/or accessories that fully embodies the idea of a “Responsible and Positive vision of the Future” (UnDocumented). Students should focus their strategy and marketing plan on the importance of the “ingredients” for sustainability (from fibers, to fabrics, to production and so on). They must also take into account a specific challenge: how to market a responsible line without hinting that the rest of the brand’s offer is less responsible?
Once the projects are ready, each school will select the best one for the formal submission. Students will be able to register online on iskooldenim.com until June 15th and take their chance to be shortlisted for the final phase that will lead them to participate in the ISKO I-SKOOL™ 5 Grand Finale, scheduled for July 2018.
