On Tuesday, October 14, it was announced that IBM, “a company whose impact spans a century,” will be the official case sponsor for the 2010 Marketing Summit scheduled for February 4-6, 2010.

The marketing case will have been developed by Wake Forest MBA students in conjunction with IBM executives and kept under lock and key until the initial day of the competition when it is announced to the competing teams. In a short 36 hours, the teams will work around the clock to craft a strategic marketing plan to address the given challenge. At the end of the competition, sleep-deprived students will present their solutions to a panel of industry-leading experts. The winning team not only gets bragging rights, but also a cash prize of $50,000. Awards will also include a $10,000 second prize, $5,000 third prize for the MBA competition and $10,000 first prize, $2,000 second prize and $1,000 third prize for the undergraduate competition.
