Want to start a Lab? Here's how it all works.

Step 1

Getting Started

Speak with Pippa Seichrist, our Director of Innovation, to scope out the project and finalize the brief. We’ll assemble a lab from the hundreds of student strategists, writers, art directors, designers and content creators. Labs are made up of 10 – 70 students.

Step 2

The Briefing

Briefings last between 1-2 hours. You’ll present the project and the competitive landscape. The teams in the Lab are each made up of several specialties. They ask questions and explore the project from their unique point of view.

Step 3

Project Length

Depending on the scope of a project, they last between 2 and 10 weeks.

Step 4

Client-Student Collaboration

As the client, you’ll have the opportunity to be as hands-on as you wish. Throughout the process, many clients choose to give staged feedback to the Lab’s multitude of strategic and creative explorations.

Step 5

Final Presentation

In pitch-style presentations, student teams present their ideas to the client. With so many ideas the session takes several hours. The finale is the client giving feedback and announcing the winning team.
Step 6

Brilliant Results

The Lab has created Super Bowl commercials, product innovation, new business launches, packaging design, social media campaigns, stunts, marketing strategies ions.
