The Beginning

It started out as a crazy idea. Tired of the usual case contests and simulations that anybody and everybody could do, the members of MarCell wanted to have an event that would blow away the participant’s mind. The brainstorming sessions went on into the early mornings, and only the craziest ideas were accorded some merit. After two months of cussing, swearing, frustrations and much tearing out of hair and slashing of wrists, MarGod was born.

MarGod

The idea was just beautiful in its simplicity. Take a normal day in the life of a brand manager. Then, add a whole lotta crazy. Repeat as necessary.

MarGod is not a contest. It is a blood-sport. When the gladiators rumbled in ancient Rome, at the end of the day, only one of them walked (or limped, or hobbled, or was carried, as the case may be) away. MarGod is just such an extravaganza. Set over three days of mayhem, madness and blood, sweat and tears, MarGod will test the contestants to the limits of their endurance. How else would you separate the boys from the men, or rather, the God from the mortals.

MarGod begins on the 12^th of January, 2009. If you think you have it in you to be crowned the Marketing God of the campus, be there…

(we would like to ask you to take this moment and imagine how it would look on your CV: “Crowned the Marketing God of the Campus”. Not that a CV point should ever be a reason to participate in a contest, but still, you have to admit, it does look kinda nice…)

What do I need, in order to participate?

Just like the Miss World contest, MarGod is all about you. That does not mean that we have a swim-wear round (cancelled at last minute by holding a gun to the event head’s head), in fact, MarGod requires you to be fully clothed at all times. All you need to participate is to be there when MarGod begins. Then, take a deep breath, and let the ride begin. Just be prepared for anything and everything… If we were crazy enough to hang those scarecrows around the campus, just imagine how crazy the actual event would be…
