About Elite 8

The Challenge involves eight student teams, who are presented with a strategic brand management challenge currently faced by a partner company. The teams are given 36 hours to prepare a structured case analysis and accompanying recommendations. They present these findings to a panel of expert judges, submit these findings, and record a presentation for a panel of expert judges, allowing partner companies the opportunity to critically assess students' brand management, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. Following the conclusion of all presentations, the participants and partners are all invited to attend a closing ceremony, featuring remarks from the judges and partner company, as well as an announcement of the winning team.
