So, what is the Interactive Launch Competition?
The Interactive Launch Competition pits MBA Student Teams in a contest to create winning go-to-market strategies and marketing plans for advanced television and online video innovations.
Each Student Team is matched with a Mentor Company and given case study tasks to support an emerging video product, service or app. The Student Teams work on their tasks for several weeks.
During the competition finals event, each Student Team has 10 minutes to present their solutions before a Judges Panel of top industry executives.
It's like a hackathon but more about business, marketing and deployment of real-world technologies. Call it a 'launch-athon.'
Each Mentor Company gets support from top MBA students while providing a valuable learning experience for the next generation of industry leaders. Plus the winning Student Teams win cash!
The Interactive Launch Competition promotes innovative thinking about cool new video technologies and services. It's produced and hosted by Craig Leddy of Interactive TV Works, who teaches How Cable Works courses and is a leader in industry education. This marks the 5th competition.
How do we join? Contact Craig Leddy, producer and host, at Competition@interactivetvworks.com or 914-310-6831. Hurry! Participation is limited.
