Spring 2025 Digital Marketing Competition Finalists Announced
April 4, 2025 – We’re excited to announce the six finalists in the 2025 Spring Digital Marketing Competition who will be competing in the finals on April 26th! This year’s challenge asked student teams to dive into a startup business called Plantennas, a company revolutionizing the plant industry through technology. Teams were tasked with crafting a digital marketing strategy that was not only creative and data-driven, but also practical enough to deliver real results and sales.
With the most undergraduate teams to ever participate (193)—and 31% of submissions coming from international universities—this was our most competitive and global year yet. These six finalists stood out for their strategic thinking, innovation, and deep understanding of digital marketing best practices and their understanding of the industry. The student teams who will be presenting at the finals will be:
