Youth Entrepreneurs of Kansas

For the past two years, Associated has been proud to help Youth Entrepreneurs of Kansas provide high school and college students with real-world business experiences and education to give them a leg up on life.

Each year, we open our doors to a dozen or so students for two weeks during the summer and ask them to create a marketing campaign for one of our clients. As an added challenge, they must present and champion their ideas in a controlled competition to that client.

This year, we charged three teams to create a campaign for Cox Communications’ High Speed Internet.

And to make it more interesting, we filmed the process.

The following six Webisodes—Wichita’s first Web-based reality series—capture (nearly) all the excitement and drama as the students develop their campaigns and learn what it takes to succeed in this business.
