Fall 2025 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 Spring top graduate student teams will help to close the Digital Divide by developing actionable promotion & engagement strategies to encourage broadband sign-ups. The case study task will combine data analytics, marketing and business skills. The competition begins in February and concludes with live online presentations on April 20 (tentative date) before a Judges Panel of industry leaders who will award the winning team a $5000 prize.

The Interactive Case Competition is for graduate degree students from U.S. schools, primarily MBA candidates. Undergraduate students may join a graduate-led team. To join in recruitment activities, students must be eligible to work in the United States. Application details & eligibility criteria will be posted soon.

No fees required -- registration is completely free and voluntary. This is completely a learning experience for you to get your feet wet in the media industry.
