What is IBX?

As machines do more work and algorithms produce more interactions and create content, brands must tell more empathetic human stories.

At Orange Academy, we call this the IBX, Integrated brand experience. We know machines are limited in their ability to understand emotions, tell stories, and connect with humans on a one-on-one basis.

Integrated refers to the cohesive alignment of the brand across all customer interactions. The brand culture and its unique story permeates the customer experience across touchpoints, including advertising, packaging, digital interactions, website design, etc.

IBX teaches you how to create a detailed plan that outlines how these will be delivered across all channels and interactions.

This program will teach you, test you, and stretch your creativity. You will be happy and sad; at times, you will fight humans and the unseen voices in your head.

However, if you can go through the six missions of IBX, you will look back at your journey, buy yourself some bọ̀lè and peanuts, and down them with some cold La Casera and say: I did it! Ready?

Meet The Six IBX Missions

• Mission One: Market Research and Problem Definition
• Mission Two: Brand Story and Design
• Mission Three: PR and Go-To-Market Strategy
• Mission Four: Advertising and Creatives
• Mission Five: Digital Experience
• Mission Six: Social Cause and Personal Branding

How you earn your IBX, 100%

Orange coursework is divided into LOGIC and MAGIC

Finally, you score for your collaborative work with others. Orange believes no meaningful creative work can be done in the brand marketing communications industry without collaborating with others.

GROUP WORK = 50 marks

We aim to be as inclusive as possible, however the following are standard entry requirements for IBX:
