Collaboration Overview
About Students
Morning Brew is a digital media company that’s disrupting the business media world with informative, hyper relevant, and witty content that resonates with Millennials and Gen Z audiences. Morning Brew’s audience has grown to more than 6 million subscribers and was recently acquired by Business Insider.

Morning Brew launched a learning division to translate this modern media sensibility into the professional development space. Learning Brew has developed 3 career accelerators (Business Essentials, Business Analytics, and Leadership).

Over a thousand ambitious professionals from a variety of backgrounds and industries have completed these cohort-based experiences to date. As part of this live case pilot, we will be drawing from our alumni community that have participated in at least one of these programs.

Our original signature learning experience, the Business Essentials Accelerator (BEA), covers three main units: communication, operation, and innovation. We’re focusing on the innovation unit for this live case pilot.

Within the BEA innovation unit, learners ideate and create new products using innovation and problem-solving frameworks.

The desired learning outcomes include:
  • Create the conditions for creative, strategic thinking 
  • Assess risk when making big decisions
  • Prioritize tasks and manage time to maximize productivity
About Program Goals
We’re seeking timely and hyper relevant projects that involve entrepreneurial leadership, new product development, business model innovation, and growth strategy development. If you’re a business that recently went through a transformation initiative, we’d be excited to partner with you.
