Sign up for the Google Challenge!

Hi Marketing Association Members,

Want to be a part of the Google Challenge and help a local business with its marketing plan?

Well, here is your opportunity to shine!
Google is sponsoring the Google Online Marketing Challenge, which provides a compelling learning experience for students. Additionally, you'll compete with other students from around the globe for a chance to receive a trip to the Google Headquarters in Mountain View, California, with 7 nights accommodation in a 5-star hotel in San Francisco.
Here's how the Challenge works:teams of students will receive US$ 200 in Google adsto drive traffic to a business website of their choosing. Student teams willcompete with other teams from their institution along with student teams from allover the world. Teams can run their campaign over any 3 consecutive weeks between the 10th of February and the 24th of May 2008. Teams must submit their final report before the 14th of June 2008. Global and regional winners are announced July 2008.
This is not a simulation; teams gain real-world experience with a
real client. Google provides US $200 in vouchers, teaching materials and other resources.
The Challenge is open to undergraduate and graduate students teams anywhere in the
world. You will find details at http://www.google.com/onlinechallenge/
Sign up information: Please let Satish Ramachandran (satishr_00@yahoo.com) and Rena Chhit (rena.chhit@gmail.com) know if you are interested by February 18th. Information about teams: We've registered for 8 teams that can be comprised of 4-6 members, so if you're interested, there's plenty of room! Feel free to form your own teams, or if you'd like, we can place you into groups based on your location. Please keep in mind that you will be working with a local business, so you may want to work with people that live in fairly close proximity to you. We hope you will take part in this exciting opportunity! If you have any questions about the Challenge, please email Satish and Rena.

Payment of Fees Info

We are close to our kick-off meeting and we want to provide a platform for students to learn, network, meet alumni and have a lot of fun.

But...we need funds to bring you the highest-quality experience. Our fee structure is very simple. We are setting the total amount to $60 / student. $30 goes to pay the ASM fee and the remaining $30 funds our club. Please note: The fee is only $90 if you are joining both marketing and finance clubs.

Payment can be sent via check to:

Amit Raman
7855 Paseo Santa Cruz
Pleasanton, CA 94566

Please make the check to "UCD Bay Area AMA."

We prefer a check, but we will accept cash in person during our first meeting. The SRVCC will also have drop boxes during class to make your payment.

If you have any questions, please contact our co-presidents or officers. Thanks and we're looking forward to see you at our first event!
