The event was the creation of Windy City Social founder, Hope Bertram who received her Master’s in Integrated Marketing Communications from Northwestern University. While attending Northwestern, every quarter students would work in teams on a live case competing by presenting to company executives who would select the winning team. The quarterly cases were the inspiration for the Marketing Challenge which compresses the excitement and competitive sprit of the cases all into one evening. May 19th will be Windy City Social’s third Marketing Challenge. Past challenge cases also included major brands Buick, Southwest Airlines, Goose Island Beer, Special Olympics Chicago and Imerman Angles.
