VOTE your favourite Marketing Prodigy

On July 11th, the UNTOLD Creators by Visa program launched the voting stage for the Marketing Prodigies pillar. This stage follows an intensive practical workshop conducted last week, facilitated by industry experts Paula Furir and Flavia Gherman. Twenty talented students participated in this workshop and faced a challenging task designed to test their marketing prowess and strategic thinking.

The challenge posed to the participants was to create a compelling pitch presentation aimed at closing a strategic partnership between the UNTOLD Festival and a company of their choice. The goal was to develop a proposal that maximized mutual benefits and delivered a meaningful experience for festival attendees. The participants were tasked with leveraging their creativity and strategic insight to identify potential partners and present a collaboration plan that would stand out.

Out of the twenty participants, only five will advance to the next stage of the program, the internship taking place within the UNTOLD team. The selection process is rigorous and involves two key components:

1. Evaluation by Mentors: Each pitch presentation will be meticulously assessed by the mentors on six criteria: Creativity / Originality / Relevance / Feasibility / Clarity / Structure. The mentors’ evaluations will carry significant weight, with each mentor’s assessment accounting for 35.7% of the participant’s final score.
2. Public Voting: just as for the previous pillars, moving on to the next phase of The Visual Storytellers pillar has also an element of public engagement, the voting campaign hosted on the UNTOLD Creators Instagram page. Public votes will contribute 25% to each participant’s final score. Voting is open until July 15th, giving the public a chance to support their favorite pitches.

The top five participants who emerge from this competitive voting and evaluation process will secure their place in the Internship stage of the UNTOLD Creators by Visa program. This internship represents a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience, further develop their marketing skills, and build valuable industry connections.

Stay tuned to the UNTOLD Creators Instagram page and cast your vote to support the next generation of marketing prodigies!
