Working with this group was a delight from beginning to end. They delivered practical, useful and well thought-out results. The process showed that they listened and heard the input from us, and adapted their project to suit the needs of our non-profit. The professor and the students showed an authentic desire to help, and I was very impressed with the final product. I've been able to incorporate their deliverables into our work process to elevate our ability to serve our student base.

The DeGroote students researched and recommended features and content for a Climate Change Impact Planning software product prototype.
They provided clear and logical insight about modern user trends (especially for the younger demographic) that substantially altered our initial design direction.
Based on early discoveries by them, we altered the project focus to include a study on gamification and mobile app approaches to improve user experience. We believe that their insight and creativity, backed up by solid research and communication, will substantially clarified and improve our prototype's UX.
The students demonstrated enthusiasm, research skills, creativity and insight throughout the project, and that quality was evident when they presented their final report. They were always pleasant, professional, keen to understand our project goals and objectives, and willing to go the extra mile to help achieve them.
Overall the team's result was of real value, and will be put to use as we continue to design our prototype. I highly recommend their work.

We worked with the students of DeGroote School of Business in the Fall of 2023 on our Digital Advertising project. We had multiple groups of students working in teams to compete for the opportunity to put their final projects to the test by running a 2 week digital advertising campaign with a budget of $500. We met the all of the teams several times as they developed their unique proposals. All of the presentations showed creativity in their variety of proposals. No group presented the same solution as any other. Some the final presentations showed incredible Powerpoint and graphic design skills. It was tough to chose one proposal to grant the digital advertising campaign. The students showed great interest in our brand and a level of professionalism we would not have expected from students who were not already working in the industry. I highly recommend working with this educator, her students, and the DeGroote School of Business.

I cannot recommend Dr. Wu and both his undergraduate and graduate programs. This is my second time working with him this semester. Under his tutelage and with the help of his students, my business saw tangible results in terms of marketing. I'm quite happy to report that our Google Ads campaign that only ran for 2 weeks resulted in 10-12 sales in one weekend. They gave me the tools and skills I needed in order to continue these Ads on my own. I can't recommend Dr. Wu enough and look forward to working with him again.
