Interactive Case Competition

The Interactive Case Competition, founded by media industry educator Craig Leddy, is the media & technology industry’s leading student case study contest and recruitment program, providing an opportunity for students to learn about the industry, get mentored by top executives, think innovatively about a timely challenge and get valuable visibility before executives and recruiters.

This fall top graduate students will help to close the Digital Divide by developing actionable promotion & engagement strategies to encourage broadband sign-ups among key demographic groups. Starting in September, students will receive expert education and executive mentoring to formulate their plans. The competition concludes live online in November with student presentations before corporate recruiters and executive judges who will make cash awards to the top teams. Students: Apply here
