Cristina Rico, Marketing Specialist at Toyota Insurance Management
The Branding Lab was one of my best work experiences by far, both in terms of branding with that mix of consulting, innovation and creativity.
Xenia Jankovich, former Branding Lab student
The profile of the students is young, with fresh thinking outside the media orbit, and they also have enough preparation to generate ideas with real business value. In addition, they have the ability to translate their thoughts into strategic ideas that make sense. They have passion and commitment, and they work as a team. My feeling is that several of them could already be part of a professional team focused on strategy and product.
Juan Francisco Cía, Chief Product Officer at El Confidencial
Very good strategy and proposals for digital activation. I want to hire you!
Alejandro García, Digital Manager at Beam Suntory
The collaboration initiative allows for an interesting bidirectionality between first-year students, who do not yet have any prejudices or conditioning factors generated during a specialized training process, and the company. It is also an opportunity for the company to contribute to the development of the students and the transmission of company values.
Rafael de Las Heras, Project Manager at Telefonica
I have been very impressed by the work and efforts everybody put into the project. Every team came up with a peculiar aspect and feature of the analysis. I would be more than happy to continue working with whoever wants to join a research project on a longer-term horizon.
Gianluca Lobefalo, Founder of QW Capital
We cannot stress how wonderfully impressed we were with the work ethic, thought processes, ideation, and execution on display. The students worked incredibly well. We feel honored to have had them not only choose Ocean Beer to work on but to have done so as diligently as they have.

We are really pleased that this partnership with IE has brought us this far in our collaboration. I am sure that the work you have produced will be useful and every contribution counts towards realising children’s rights to water and sanitation in Burundi.
