Creative Seminars
The MSc in Marketing & Creativity includes a series of Creative Seminars which run throughout the programme and give participants valuable insight into how organisations can leverage creativity in real-life practice. Via visits, talks and assignments in London and Paris, you will be introduced to people and organisations using creativity as part of their business model.
Creative Seminars will offer you a chance to practice Creativity Marketing across a range of industries and tasks, both expected and unexpected. These thought-provoking sessions are usually led by alumni of the MSc in Marketing & Creativity, professional industry experts, and faculty with relevant practical experience, and will introduce you to examples of 'creativity in action' across different fields. Through these seminar sessions you will:
- Analyse company decisions where creativity thinking has proven to be a key success factor
- Take part in creative exercises, as well as examine applications and strategies to increase creativity at an individual and team levels
- Get the opportunity to apply your learning directly, on specific mini-project-style assignments for various companies
The Creative Seminars include not just pure-play marketing organisations, but a whole range of industries that combine creativity with business. Previous partners have included arts organisations, media companies, publishers, celebrity chefs, creative and digital agencies, tech companies, fashion & luxury brands, architecture firms, and start-up incubators.
These sessions create some of the most thought-provoking and enjoyable content in the programme, and each year incorporate new topics from fast-developing areas.
Many of the sessions are led by Alumni of our programme to showcase how they have been able to apply Creativity Marketing in their own professional careers.
L'ORÉAL 'BIG PICTURE' PROJECT
Thanks to our close partnership with L'Oréal selected students from the MSc in Marketing & Creativity programme participate in the annual L'Oréal Big Picture project alongside students from ESCP's MSc in Digital Transformation Management & Leadership (MDT).
Over the course of a week, you will work in teams with MDT students to produce an original video on a brief proposed by L'Oréal executives. Themes can range from culture to business to more philosophical musings, and are traditionally broad in order to leave plenty of room for creativity. The videos and the analytical work that led to their development are presented to a jury on the last day of the project, and three winning teams are selected. The jury consists of L'Oréal executives, including talent recruiters and leaders from the media and cultural sectors, as well as ESCP faculty members.
All students are encouraged to apply for participation in the Big Picture project and are selected on the basis of their motivation and career interests.
Our Managing for Social Impact module is highly innovative social entrepreneurship, experiential-learning module running through the four terms of the MSc in Marketing & Creativity. It encourages students to go beyond lecture slides and apply their learnings to real-life sustainability and societal issues such as diversity and inclusion, poverty eradication and development, climate change, and gender empowerment.
During the Managing for Social Impact module, you will be challenged to employ your marketing and management skills to develop creative solutions for a better world, working alongside social entrepreneurs either in the UK or in the context of an emerging economy.
The module combines lectures on some of the conceptual bases underlying social enterprise, case studies showing best practices in social entrepreneurship, presentations by social entrepreneurs, seminars, and discussions with business leaders who embrace social entrepreneurship and hands-on social entrepreneurship projects.
Company Consultancy Projects - Term 3
Sept - Nov: 6- to 8-week experiential learning project with a company
The MSc in Marketing & Creativity provides an excellent connection to the world of marketing, and a solid foundation for an international professional career across a wide range of creative and marketing industries and positions.
The Company Consultancy Project (CCP) is a key and integrated element of the specialisation, designed to provide students with a collaborative learning experience and demonstrate, in a real-world application, the concepts and tools studied in class.
Students form multinational teams to carry out a six- to eight-week, in-depth analysis of a marketing situation or issue faced by a company. In particular, teams are expected to apply creative approaches to solve complex marketing problems. This gives students the valuable opportunity to work at a professional level with a third-party company or start-up introduced by the School from amongst its diverse range of Corporate Partners. A professor from ESCP supervises the project to offer relevant advice and to ensure that the academic requirements are met.
The CCP results in a series of recommendations that the company can implement to meet the strategic challenge at hand. The company sponsor receives a comprehensive written report and the conclusions of the project are presented to an academic jury.
Previous topics for
Company Consultancy Projects
have included:
- Ground-based creation of a marketing programme for a company start-up
- Study into the impact of digital channels and social media on brand behaviour
- What form should e-commerce take to enhance a retail concept for a major luxury shopping mall?
- Build a community of young philanthropists for opera and ballet
- Deliver a game-changing beauty tech product/project that combines smart design and data to solve deep consumer needs and create big market potential
- What is a special offer and discount alternative? Come up with an innovative sales promotion strategy or a new business model that will enable a fashion brand to pursue sustainable growth while reducing its discounts.
- Give a pilot idea of a new programme for a major GMCG company aiming at developing better food consumption behaviours
Professional Mission - Term 4
Jan - Jun: a minimum 4-month professional mission in the form of an in-company internship or direct employment
At the heart of the MSc in Marketing & Creativity is the required minimum four-month professional experience (full-time job / internship), during which students work in a management training role within a client company.
Students begin their search in Term 2, developing job-seeking skills with the professional support of specialists in the Careers Service and the Alumni Association.
Exposure to real-life business culture both challenges and strengthens the skills and knowledge acquired in the MSc in Marketing & Creativity curriculum, and solidifies the student’s profile as a successful international marketer.
While carrying out their work placements, students also develop a professional thesis based on original research, on a topic of their choice and normally related to their chosen category.
The Corporate Relations Department
The Company Relations Department is dedicated to gather placement offers from many companies. The department also organises a series of fairs involving firms, giving you many opportunities to make contact.
PROFESSIONAL THESIS & RESEARCH SEMINAR – TERM 4
Jan - Jun: Writing and defending a Professional Thesis
As part of their individual Professional Placement (Internship/full-time job), each student selects a research topic of particular interest for analysis. Recommendations are prepared using clear, logical argumentation and drawing upon original desk research, interviews, or a case study carried out during their assignment.
Each thesis project is supervised and guided by a member of Faculty or expert in the relevant field. Students are encouraged to pick a topic of personal interest or one highly relevant to their career plan, stepping outside of the day-to-day work they are performing in their internship and thinking about how the issue relates to broader concepts and to other sectors and types of companies.
At the end of the programme, a written thesis is submitted. A viva voce oral examination is also held at which the research is presented to and assessed by an academic jury.
During this time, students will also participate in a mandatory Research Seminar held by a ESCP professor. This seminar represents 3 ECTS credits.
Some of the previous professional thesis topics included:
- Digital Marketing in the beauty industry in times of Adblockers
- Co-Creation and Influence marketing within the FMCG industry
- The disruption of online corporate banking by the arrival of Fintech companies
- The importance of digital practices in employer branding for attracting and retaining talent
- Is digital killing creativity and uniqueness for luxury brands?
- The Disruption of Digitalisation: How the artwork industry is innovating in order to survive, considering the impact of social media
