Within its International Marketing course, Arthur Nguyen -program director- asked the students to put their skills at the service of young entrepreneurs. The two Lyon golden start-ups Curvway and Argold came to meet the group in January and present their issues.

Students shared the workload during a month in order to give precise and tangible recommendations regarding the marketing and communication strategy as well as international sales. This exercise is “a real challenge as it is a tangible case unlike theoretical or imaginary tasks”. It allows students to “discover a young company with strong values and commitments” and to understand “stakes and real success” which could have these young start-ups on the international markets.
 

Feedback with the directors

On March 15^th, Curvway and Argold teams listened to the students pitch at iaelyon. They were able to grasp the students’ motivation who were very committed to the his mission. The two companies highlighted the relevance of the students’ work: “it will be helpful for our international development as a SMB.”

The students’ testimonies, show their specific interest for real cases: “to work on a tangible company’s case was very enriching on a professional and private level” or “it felt like our work was useful, we had a genuine goal.”

The Master Marketing & Sales 1^st year students thank very much Tarik Alla, Nicolas Villaret and Stéphanie Frutoso from Argold as well as Pierre Marabese, Louis Le Guen and Léo Petiot from Curvway for their trust and their involvement in these educational collaborations.
