The Marketing Society seeks to engage with the university students, staff and external stakeholders by putting marketing theory into practice through fun and sociable activities.
The event started with an address by the society’s chairperson, Matthew Booysen. Matthew introduced the Marketing Society’s executive members and explained the society’s purpose and objectives to the audience. In attendance were about 80 students and lecturers from the Department of Marketing Management.
After the opening address, attendees participated in the first of three 7-a-side soccer matches. The soccer teams comprised of university students as well as staff from the Department of Marketing Management. Between the soccer games, other activities such as “egg and spoon race” and “three-legged race” were also held as part of the Fun Day events.
The Fun Day concluded with the awarding of prizes to the winners of the various games. Thereafter all socialised around some light eats. A total of 58 students signed up to be members of the society.
A special word of thanks is given to the Executive Committee of the Marketing Society and to the Department of Marketing Management for assisting in making this event a successful and memorable one.
