Copy and forward this email to your professors:
Dear (professor),
I would like to introduce you to the Google Online Marketing
Challenge<http://www.google.com/onlinechallenge>ge>,
a global and unique student competition organized by Google and open to any
higher education institution anywhere in the world!
Basically, your student teams receive US$200 of free online advertising with
Google AdWords and then work with local businesses or NGOs to devise
effective online marketing campaigns.
Real money, real results, real experience! Check it out at
www.google.com/onlinechallenge.
How it works
Any professor at any higher education institute registers a student team.
Students can be any class, graduate or undergraduate, regardless of
discipline.
Teams select a business or an NGO, outline an online marketing strategy, run
a campaign, assess their results and provide the business/NGO with
recommendations to further develop their online marketing. Teams submit
their reports and are judged by a global panel of independent academics.
Advantages of the Challenge
This is not a simulation. Students gain real-world experience with real
clients. At the same time, clients (both businesses and NGOs) benefit from
free advertising and Internet consulting. Google provides US$200 in AdWords
advertising, along with teaching materials and other resources.
Prizes
The global winners and their professor receive a week trip to the Google
Headquarters in Mountain View, California to meet with the GOMC team.
Regional winners from America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa
and their professor receive a trip to a regional Google office. Students
that work with an NGO during the Challenge can compete for the NGO Impact
Award <http://www.google.com/onlinechallenge/ngo_award.html> (up to
US$15,000 for the winners’ NGO).
To learn more and register, please visit
www.google.com/onlinechallenge.
Remember! Registration closes April 21st, 2011.
Looking forward to your participation in the Challenge,
