Students get the chance to put themselves in the shoes of a marketer and get actively involved in all phases of the process of launching and promoting a product, with highly coveted prizes and jobs up for grabs at the end.Part of the process is to team up with an advertising agency to work closely with the students in the development of their projects, and this year that agency is Marketel! Sabrina Del Duca, Account Supervisor at Marketel, recently visited the L&rsquo;Or&eacute;al headquarters in Montreal to meet with the three Canadian teams hailing from Montreal&rsquo;s McGill University and HEC and from Toronto&rsquo;s York University. As their coach and mentor, her mission was to teach them how to make a creative brief, field any questions they may have, and then coach them through to the end of this leg of the competition.For the next step, Marketel will welcome the students into the agency to meet with their assigned teams of copywriters and art directors, who will help them create two in-store displays for this year&rsquo;s focus brand, The Body Shop. The students will then go on to present their creations in front of a panel of judges, who will decide which team moves on to the international finals in Paris later this year.Marketel is thrilled to be a part of this exciting competition that encourages the development of strategic, tactical, and creative skills. We look forward to working with the students and hope to help them achieve award-winning results!</description><link>http://www.marketel.com/news/in-the-eye-of-the-brandstorm</link><guid>http://www.marketel.com/rss/in-the-eye-of-the-brandstorm</guid><pubDate>Wed, 15 Feb 2012 06:00:00 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Que la relève se lève!</title><description>Le d&eacute;fi L&rsquo;Or&eacute;al Brandstorm 2012 est lanc&eacute;, et Marketel s&rsquo;implique dans l&rsquo;aventure.

In an effort to raise awareness and encourage donations to the Alzheimer Society of Canada during January&rsquo;s Alzheimer Awareness Month in Quebec, Marketel came up with an interactive digital ad to demonstrate the effects of short-term memory loss associated with the early stages of the disease. The idea behind the campaign was to mimic this short-term memory loss in a sharp, thought-provoking, visual way. Marketel&rsquo;s creative team demonstrated this by progressively erasing the content on websites as the user scrolls down and then back up the page. The campaign proved to be highly effective, resulting in a nearly 400% increase in the click rate in comparison to standard banners.</description><link>http://www.marketel.com/news/a-stunt-that-won-t-be-forgotten-1</link><guid>http://www.marketel.com/rss/a-stunt-that-won-t-be-forgotten-1</guid><pubDate>Mon, 13 Feb 2012 06:00:00 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Inoubliable.</title><description>Marketel cr&eacute;e une ing&eacute;nieuse publicit&eacute; interactive afin de sensibiliser la population &agrave; la maladie d&rsquo;Alzheimer.Perdre la m&eacute;moire &agrave; cause de la maladie d&rsquo;Alzheimer est une hantise pour chacun d&rsquo;entre nous, et une triste r&eacute;alit&eacute; pour les 120&nbsp;000 Qu&eacute;b&eacute;cois qui en sont actuellement atteints.

Pretty sweet, right?To have a shot at winning, couples must share their love story on the Air Canada Facebook page (okay, not all the nitty gritty details, but a little bit about why they&rsquo;re apart and what makes them awesome together), and then share their story on their personal Facebook pages to encourage their friends and family to show them some love by voting for them to win. The more social and vocal they are about professing their love to their network, the better their chances of having Air Canada bring them back together!The more votes each couple receives, the higher their chances of winning in the grand prize draw. The contest closes on February 13 when one lucky couple will win a plane ticket to either fly to see their other half, or vice versa.

This year, Marketel teamed up with our client Budweiser to devise a media plan promoting their huge, 90-second Flash Fans: 2012 Budweiser Official Big Game commercial that aired across Canada last night. Marketel placed the TV spot on RDS as the first commercial in the first commercial break in the first quarter, and so it was the first Canadian Super Bowl ad shown on RDS last night &ndash; a real touchdown for Budweiser!In the days leading up to last night&rsquo;s game, fans also got a sneak peak at the ad through social-seeding on the Facebook and Twitter feeds of popular sites 25Stanley.com and Bombe.tv, amongst others. The fun spot was featured on TVA&rsquo;s popular show Vlog last night and will air on 5 &agrave; 7 on RDS tonight. Radio-Canada also collaborated by pushing the video through their website, Facebook page and by having content on their radio station.Marketel&rsquo;s media strategy also included keyword search optimization, text ads, a YouTube masthead featured across Canada, a roadblock campaign to dominate the Facebook environment, and interactive video engagement banners on major sites including RDS.com, Canoe.ca, and LaPresse.ca, to name but a few.
