Fall 2022 Digital Marketing Competition Winners Announced

Dec 5, 2022 – Two hundred twenty Undergraduate and Graduate level student teams from across the world completed the Fall 2022 Digital Marketing Competition this past Friday. Not only was this the largest Digital Marketing Competition ever, it was the first time Graduate teams had their own track. Finalists presented their campaigns to a panel of judges that consisted of Meg and Joe Piercy and Kaylee Rodell from case sponsor MegMade, Zach Hescott and Graham Macko from Simpli.fi, and Samantha Bartucci from Kimberly-Clark (Huggies).

The winning Undergraduate (Team Le) team consisted of Yen Le, Christian Kjeldsen, Hailey Aspinwall, Mike Disabito, and Dr. Sharmin Attaran, while the winning Graduate (Team Mhammed) team included Mhammed Lebbar, Emma Nozay, Chris-Aurel Fassinou, and Professor Ronan Chardonneau.

It’s never easy to select one winner from hundreds of entries, but this semester’s finalists truly took the judge’s suggestions from the first round and took their campaigns to the next level at the finals.

“Challenging journey. Indeed, but teamwork pays off, with perseverance, faith, and trusting in the TEAM, there you go!”

Mhammed Lebbar, Team Mhammed
