Social Media Competition - First Class Competition Results

What is the Social Media Competition?
The Social Media Competition is a student competition for marketing students in the Marketing Diploma program at Sheridan College, Ontario, Canada.  Students compete over a 2 -3 week period using the following metrics: Blog Visitors, Facebook Likes and Twitter Followers.

How does the Social Media Competition Work?
Each student group selects a unique niche topic for their blog.  They then create web content for the blog (written, video and Infographic) and market their blogs using Facebook and Twitter.  The competition is divided into several phases.  For a look at all student blogs competing, please visit our daily Social Media Competition Newsletter.

Social Media Competition - Baseline Results

The Social Media Competition of Summer 2014 is off to a great start.   During the Baseline phase, students strive to achieve high Blog Users, Facebook Like and Twitter Followers.

Well done to all students for their Baseline results!  Although the mark was determined by a rubric (it was not a competition), it is interesting to note the top two in each category.  This is because the next phase of the competition is the First Class Competition , in which student groups are in competition.  The group with the highest result gets the highest mark in the category.  

A special congrats to the following groups for their outstanding Baseline Results:
