Excellence in marketing recognised

15 December 2004

Monash's top undergraduate and graduate marketing students have been recognised for their academic achievements at the 33rd Annual Marketing Awards for Excellence.

More than 300 students, staff and industry professionals attended the awards at the Park Hyatt on 9 December.

The event was organised entirely by students under the supervision of Department of Marketing lecturers Ms Erica Brady and Mr Brian Imrie.

"The student committee organises the awards night, taking responsibility for the planning, raising sponsorship money, controlling event finances, managing publicity, and maintaining the event's website," Mr Imrie said.

"The winners receive a trophy and an industry-sponsored cheque, and internships are available for selected undergraduate marketing students.

"The event also provides students with valuable networking contacts, as industry leaders attend to head-hunt the year's most promising graduates."

Industry-sponsored unit and course awards were presented to outstanding students.

Among the winners were final-year marketing student Ms Kim Vernon, who received the Sidwell Scholarship valued at $25,000, and Bachelor of Business (Honours) marketing student Ms Esther Smith-Mitchell, who was presented with the GE Money award for $600.

GE Money sponsored the awards, with additional support provided by Cricket Australia, National Foods, Tattersalls, Nike, Priceline, Compucon, Marketing Magazine (Niche media), Network Event Management, Encore Productions, Park Hyatt Melbourne, Rogen, Seppelt, and Carlton & United Beverages.
