The company at the heart of education: students of the MSc Digital Marketing & Sales respond to challenges set by Intermarché

03/04/2024
French supermarket chain and key player in the retail industry, Intermarché has made the decision this year to engage with students in the Master of Science in Digital Marketing and Sales programme on the KEDGE Marseille campus.

Event agenda

A few days ago, students from the MSc Digital Marketing & Sales programme at KEDGE Business School had the opportunity to reflect on the challenges set by Intermarché, one of the main players in the retail sector in France. During a day, our MSc Digital Marketing and Sales students undertook the ambitious project of addressing 2 themes:

  • How to reintroduce human interaction into digital distribution and commerce?
  • How to provide customers with an enhanced experience?

Educational objectives

Challenging our students to develop their ability to tackle specific challenges related to real business issues.

A challenge between a business school and a company can indeed be beneficial for both students and the company, fostering practical learning, innovation, recruitment, partnership, and visibility.

Feedback from the day

The day was incredibly rich in terms of creativity among the students. Their ideas mainly revolved around topics such as assisting individuals, supporting people with disabilities, managing tight budgets, creating food baskets, promoting healthy eating, and everything related to current and future trends in proximity, customer relations, and facilitating daily life. These themes clearly influenced the group work carried out during the challenge.

I appreciated the freedom given both in terms of form and content. It allowed us to generate truly innovative ideas with Intermarché, and I believe we made a real impact today. I particularly enjoyed receiving feedback from a real professional.
