Real World Experience for Students = Big Benefits for Local Companies   Students in GSU’s Management Information Systems class will be participating in the Google Online marketing challenge. Dr. David Green, the class professor said, “I did this with a previous class. It’s very cool. Each student team is given a $200 budget to create a 3-week Google Ads campaign for a small business”. The students compete with other students from around the world to win a trip to Googleplex in Mountain View and in the process they create very innovative campaigns to generate clients and sales for local businesses.  

There are 25 students enrolled in the class so we are looking for 6-10 businesses who would love to work with this highly motivated group of students and their professor to get free marketing help for their business and offer real life experience to future employees.

How could you not want to participate because as Dr David points out, “It’s free advertising for the businesses with the goal of driving traffic to the business website”? The website may either be one that sells products, provides information, or just gets leads for new clients. So if you want to know more, here’s the information for participating businesses:
