RP Emerged Victorious at the Chartered Institute of Marketing (Singapore) National Marketing Competition 2006

Team RP created a big impact at Chartered Institute of Marketing (Singapore) National Marketing Competition 2006 finals.  They beat 5 other teams from NUS, NTU, SP, NYP and Jiangsu Institute of Economic and Technology and were declared champion for the National Marketing Competition 2006 Finals.

The team impressed the judges with their innovative idea of marketing a “Four Season Café” in Singapore, selling products with fruits as main ingredients.  The team even came up with a video, food prototypes and renovation materials to let the judges have a feel of the ambience of the café. The comments from the judges were that the marketing proposal was of a high standard and that they were able to feel the real element in their marketing plan.  They are even interested to see how their business plan can be executed by finding the right investors.   

“The marketing idea was originated from one of the problems from G106 Enterprise Skills 2 module last year. Students were asked to come up with a marketing plan for a café and one of the teams in class actually suggested this “four season” feel.  They were able to take what they learnt in the classroom and put it into real practice and impressed the industry practitioners”, said their mentor Mr Sim Choon Hou (CIE). 

The team comprised the following students from SAS and SEG: 

  • Tan Wai Keong (SAS/DBMS Year 2 Student)

  • Tan Chee Yuen (SEG/DBME Year 3 Student)

  • Sim Junming Jason (SAS/DBIO Year 2 Student)

  • Lim Yu Ting (SAS/DBMS Year 1 Student)

  • Yong Woon Thing Andrea (SEG/DSCM Year 1 Student)  

CIMS National Marketing Competition 2006 is organized by the Chartered Institute of Marketing (Singapore) and is sponsored by SPC.
