秀色短视频 Business student a finalist at NBIF鈥檚 Breakthru
Erin O鈥橦alloran, a fourth-year student in 秀色短视频鈥檚 Faculty of Business, is a member of one of two national finalist teams in the New Brunswick Innovation Foundation (NBIF) Breakthru competition. Breakthru is a biennial start-up competition where more than 60 teams compete for the chance to pitch live on stage at the Breakthru LIVE awards dinner on March 23 at the Fredericton Convention Centre.
O鈥橦alloran鈥檚 team is representing Newpy, a social network app for posting photos of products that are hidden inside digital packaging. The digital packaging designs grab attention and spark curiosity as to what is inside. Newpy offers two types of digital packaging鈥攙ariety, which are ever-changing, unique designs to reflect user鈥檚 interests, and custom, which are specifically tailored to reflect a company鈥檚 brand. Custom digital packaging showcases the company鈥檚 name or logo in plain sight directly on the packaging. Companies will now have a choice: they can choose to hope good photos of their products are taken, or they can guarantee with Newpy that every photo posted will grow their brand.
鈥淭he very innovative network application developed by Erin and Alana is an amazing idea and a truly entrepreneurial endeavour,鈥� said Dr. Juergen Krause, dean of 秀色短视频鈥檚 Faculty of Business. 鈥淚 applaud their accomplishments and wish the team great success at the competition.鈥�
Good luck, Erin!
