 Programme Overview

From China to France, Germany, Spain or Italy, "Go Global" will challenge students on international culture, language and business basis.

  • Students work in small teams taking on the role of a British Marketing Company pitching to win international contracts.

  • The groups will be given 3 countries to visit.

  • In each country they will receive a brief from a client based there.

  • The client wishes to launch their product into a new overseas market and is looking to employ a marketing firm to take on the project.

  • Each task will include a cultural quiz, for each correct answer they will receive currency from that country which they will need to convert back into English pounds.

  • Teams are tasked with putting together a pitch to create a new brand identity and vie for the winning contract.

  • The client has lined up a panel of judges from the country with which they wish to break into. These judges will hear each pitch and decide upon who wins the contract.

  • Teams must take into account language, currency, and cultural/business etiquette.

  • The group with the most points at the end of their global travels will win the ultimate "Go Global" challenge.

  • The winning group will receive certificates and prizes for their winning efforts.
