Student Project — Mobile App

Mink

Academic project Marketing & Communications 2021

// 001 — Context

Student project. Shipped like a real one.

Mink is a student project — a mobile app designed to catalog animal welfare associations across France, simplify the adoption process, and give smaller organizations more online visibility.

The app concept included a map of registered associations, animal listings with adoption reservations, a lost-and-found alert system, instant messaging between users and associations, and a premium tier offering behavioral coaching, health records, and expert partnerships.

// 002 — What I did

Marketing, comms, and brand — from scratch.

Marketing strategy

Ran the market research, wrote the business plan, defined objectives and KPIs, built the landing page. Everything a real launch needs — in a classroom.

Content & communications

Full competitive analysis, editorial guidelines, content calendar, Instagram and Facebook content. Built two dedicated websites — one for individual users, one for associations. Both live before the deadline.

Visual identity

Co-designed the brand identity: logo, visual guidelines, user journey mapping. Consistent from the app screens to the social posts.

A full-stack student project.

// Why it matters

Student project, but we treated it like a real launch. Market research, brand, comms, two websites, full business plan. That's the only way to actually learn.
