We are excited to announce that professor registration for the 2015 Google Online Marketing Challenge (GOMC 2015) is now open.
The Google Online Marketing Challenge, now in its eighth year, is an annual global online marketing competition for students from higher education institutions around the world. Student teams develop and run an online advertising campaign using Google AdWords and/or Google+ for a real business or non-profit organization of their choice, using a US $250 budget provided by Google. An independent GOMC Panel of Academics, along with our own team, review the campaigns and select winning teams based on the success of their campaign and the quality of their competition reports.
Why GOMC?
- GOMC provides a unique, hands-on learning experience by integrating a real-world business partner and budget into the classroom.
- Students get a chance to support their local community by working with a non-profit, and the opportunity to win donations from a total pool of US $30,000.
- GOMC enables professors to provide their students with an engaging and innovative in-class experience, which provides real-world impact and grading material.
- Great prizes for global and regional winners of the challenge, including trips to Google offices, digital devices and more.
