This year’s Spring 2024 IACBE’s Live Case Competition featured Tennessee-based organization Viralish, who set fourth the a challenge for students to develop: “The 90 Day Creator: A Fast-Track Program and Planning Tool to Help Content Creators Generate $5,000 per Month.”
This project asked students teams to develop an innovative way for Viralish to help business owners and content creators monetize their digital content effectively. Among the participants from schools all around the US, Wentworth Institute of Technology’s winning team stood out for its exceptional approach and execution. The team of four undergraduate business seniors crafted a curriculum that addressed the fundamental principles of content monetization, and provided practical, actionable steps for implementation.
Honorable mentions go out to Lindsey Wilson College (2nd place, 1st time participating) and Chaminade University of Honolulu (3rd place, 15th time participating) who also delivered creative results that were also actionable, unique, and thought provoking.
