The Grand Finale had Mr. Hwansung Woo, Managing Director and Country Manager of Samsung Electronic Bangladesh, Title Sponsor of MarXcellence 2022 as Chief Guest. In his speech, he highlighted the importance of digital marketing and the role of the youth in today’s digital transformation.
“We are on the brink of the 4th industrial revolution and digital marketing has turned out to be a game-changer. I feel very proud that the youth are very passionate about digital marketing and this event itself attests to this fact.”
The event comprised three rounds and two workshops. Each round tested the participants’ knowledge of real-life based marketing case problems and developed their skills in three key aspects of marketing – promotion, sales, and branding. Additionally, the participants were guided and groomed throughout the event through two workshops conducted by digital marketing specialists and industry experts. The workshops gave the participants the opportunity to take a step closer to the corporate world and create valuable connections for the future.
