Marketing students represent Humber College at Vanier case competition

On February 10th, Humber College marketing students had the opportunity to travel to Vanier College in Montreal, to compete in the 7th annual inter-collegial marketing BDC case competition. Vanier College welcomed 30 teams from various colleges and CGEPs across Canada as they competed in hopes of winning the prestigious marketing award. I am pleased to announce that the team from Humber College placed 4th out of 10 teams within their division! The team displayed an exceptional effort in both the competition and through representing Humber.

The overall results of the competition are as follows:
        1st Place- Mohawk College
·                2nd Place- College Lionel Groulx
·                3rd Place- Okanagan College

On the whole, the entire competition was a huge success. I would like to extend a very special thank you to all participants, coaches and supporters that played a role within the competition.

If you are a current or prospective student at Humber College and are interested in getting involved within the school, I suggest that you inquire about the Ontario Colleges Marketing Competition.

What is OCMC?
The Ontario Colleges Marketing Competition is an Ontario wide competition in which participants in teams of two are challenged through a series of case analysis covering various topics. In addition to the case analysis, there are two other categories: Sales presentation and a job interview.

The case competition is a timed challenge in which teams of two participants have thirty minutes to analyze a specific marketing case and prepare a PowerPoint presentation, which is formally presented in front of a panel of judges.  

Why Participate?
College is a time to learn- A time to challenge yourself. Participating within OCMC helps build, test and evaluate your skills within a proven setting. Although the competition is focused on Marketing, the developed skills stretch far beyond the basic business skills. In addition, you will develop presentation, public speaking, teamwork, time management and analytical thinking skills. College is a once in a lifetime event- Make the most out of your experience.

Interested? Apply today!
