This year, Management Marketing Plan Competition carried the theme “Support Local Branding to Stop Foreign Product Invasion” in which the participants were expected to contribute their creative ideas in developing marketing strategies for local food branding in order to survive and even win the competition both in national and international scale.

“We join this competition to improve leadership skills, critical thinking and analysis, diplomacy and self-skills in business”, said Armayoga Mukti when asked why he wanted to take part in this competition.

Virendra team consists of Gabriella Stefany (Management 2020), Charles Vincent (Management 2020), and Armayoga Mukti (Management 2020). They brought the idea of ​​optimizing electronic word of mouth by empowering customer experience in sheep coffee.

“Basically the competition is about making a marketing strategy for a coffee shop integrated with the factory. We use a customer experience optimization strategy to solve the solution and by chance the jury is the owner of the coffee shop,” said Fanny, one of Virendra team members.

Because of the ideas they brought, Virendra’s team finally won 2nd place. “We are certainly happy, and grateful to have the opportunity to improve ourselves through the marketing plan competition,” said Armayoga Mukti
