Please note that the company or brand may be a politician, celebrity, non-profit organisation, and charitable organisation, but the company or brand can NOT be any of the companies or brands that have been chosen by any of the groups for the group presentations or covered in one of the case studies or TMAs. It is recommended to select two companies that are from the same industry or share some characteristics, to allow you to draw comparisons for your analysis.
