Collobarative Marketing Projects
Project Based Assessment
In collaboration with Oxfam Ireland, our 2024 Marketing students ran a college Thrift Shop and it was a huge success. By selling pre-loved items, this initiative not only raised money for a a great cause but helped students learn about the importance of sustainability. All promotional activities were run by our innovative students including social media marketing, personal selling, sales promotion PR and poster design. A branding style guide was created for the shop and it was a real team effort with both staff and students donating stock through our collection stations in the college. This project counted towards students final grade, as part of the continuous assessment for 3 modules.
