“The programme gave us a lot of opportunities to share our experience and perspectives on setting up a successful brand. We were encouraged to analyse different views and concluded the factors of establishing a successful brand from our classmates’ sharing. Hence, we did not merely gain new knowledge from the course, but also learned from our peers.
At the same time, we developed our presentation skills as well through each sharing in front of the whole class, which is a crucial key to a successful brand. This course provided us with a big picture of how a brand can be established through various means, which was valuable to people working on start-up business.”
