Marketing Challenger 2011
Marketing Challengers 2011 held by RMIT Vietnam Business Club aims to create a playground for unprofessional marketers in Ho Chi Minh City. Given this mission, the host has worked hard to bring this competition to as many privilege universities’ students as possible in this biggest city of Vietnam such as FTU, Hoa Sen, EU and RMIT. This is the chance for them to apply the theories taught in classes to real business cases.
A lot of marketing activities were conducted within one month before the competition to ensure that all the interested students would have the chance to participate in. As a result, over 500 students in 100 teams registered to take part in have reflected the fascination as well as the result of effective marketing activities of all the members in the project.
The information session was successfully held on July 5th, 2011 to provide an overview of the competition to all the registered teams. Despite of the hot weather on that day, the audiences were pleased to enjoy the speech delivered by the representatives from Toyota about the case study, the Project Leader – Pham Minh Dung – about the spirit in the competition and Melvin Fernando and Pakawat Kietisaksopon about the marking guidelines for their papers.
Final Round is the biggest event of Marketing Challengers 2011 and also the ultimate goal of many challengers after passing three rounds. From over a hundred teams from various universities, our board of judges has selected the best five teams for this Final round, including Athenaris, Charis, Green Boys’ Generation, C.A.O and Leverage. It seems that the graceful support from Marketing Challengers’ fans and audiences exceeded the limited space of Melbourne Theater. Many audiences were not able to find a seat because there were too crowded due to the enthusiasm of competitors and the professional of the competition. They were patient to watch the presentations of each team and listen to the judges to find out how the participants solve the Toyota’s case and earn the big prizes.
Board of Judges
Charis commenced the Final Round smoothly that helped warm up the whole theater, followed by Green Boys’ Generation with their lively demonstration of the red-theme dance hall. Next, C.A.O’s performance impressed the judges with their physical heights as well as knowledge height. Then, Leverage attracted audiences’ attention by their abundant and exotic marketing ideas. Last but not least, Athenaris reached to the hearts of the audiences with a romantic and emotional theme. One interesting part of the event is Question and Answer time after each presentation. The five-team had a chance to express their deep understanding by responding to tricky questions and protecting their Integrated Marketing Communication plan.
Finally, the part for which everyone was waiting had come: The Announcement of Championship. After an intensive discussion, the board of judges made the final decision. The champion of Marketing Challengers 2011 is C.A.O, who persuaded the judges with their professional manner and a practical plan. The first and second Runner-ups are Athenaris and Leverage respectively. Charis and Green Boys’ Generation shared the 4th and 5th place of Marketing Challengers 2011.
Marketing Challengers 2011 closed with the happiness of the winners and friendships among the teams from different universities, the event organizer from RMIT Business Club and the audiences.
A big applause to Marketing Challengers 2011 organizer for managing such a successful competition!
