Spring 2023 Digital Marketing Competition Winners Announced

April 24, 2023 – Growing once again this spring with a total of two hundred forty two student teams, we’re excited to announce our Spring 2023 Digital Marketing Competition undergraduate and graduate winners . On Saturday, finalists presented their campaigns to Mindy Stumpf, Senior PR & Communications Lead, Jenny Moore, E-Commerce & Digital Marketing Specialist, and Ali Randazzo, Senior Communications Coordinator.

The winning undergraduate (Team Yoneda – Univ. of Hawaii at Manoa) team consisted of Bree Yoneda, Eve Gray, Brenden Peters, Ethan Wales, and Dr. Constancio Paranal, while the winning graduate (Team Deluca – Rutgers University) team included Alyssa Deluca, Kaitlyn Bentley, Sarah Parr, and Dr. Stacy Schwartz.

Judging the finals this year was a difficult task as student teams took the same case study, however they went in a variety of directions.

“We’re humbled and grateful to have won the Digital Marketing Competition. Our success was truly a team effort, and we couldn’t have achieved it without the collaboration, hard work, and dedication of every team member, along with the invaluable advising of our wonderful professor, Dr. Paranal.”

Thank you so much to the DMC and Radio Flyer for this opportunity, and congratulations to all of the teams who presented!.”
