Marketing Consulting Laboratory (MKTG-650-0) The Marketing Consulting Lab allows students to work on a real-time 10-week consulting project. Students will be assigned to a team of 5-6 students and a client, and will be paired with a coach from Kearney Consulting. Past clients include AbbVie, Crate and Barrel, Coca-Cola, McDonalds, Nike, Nissan, and Uber. During the weekly class meetings, students will work in teams on their project, and will learn from the professors relevant discipline-content that is specifically customized for their individual project. As one student summarized their experience: "This much anticipated experiential learning course at Kellogg was worth the wait and I look forward to leveraging these takeaways throughout the rest of my time in the program and beyond in my professional career."
