Growth consulting case interview: Target’s holiday sales (w/ BCG and Bain Consultants)

🎥 Here’s a consulting case interview featuring an ex-BCG Consultant and ex-Bain Consultant focusing on a growth case for Target.

Your client, Target, has seen sales growth stagnate at just 1% over the past year. To reverse this trend, leadership has launched the “Holiday Hustle,” a $500 million initiative aimed at maximizing Q4 revenue, which can account for up to 35% of annual performance. Your task is to explore creative strategies, from marketing to product launches, and craft a plan to drive growth and outpace competitors in the holiday season.

Watch Christopher Macrae Ham (ex-BCG Project Leader, London Business School MBA) run Tessa Peerless (ex-Bain Senior Associate Consultant, Ivey MBA) through this growth focused consulting case interview.
