Hey Guys

I have already edited the report and sent it to Li Zhen to add the table of contents. She will send it back to me and everyone, and i will then submit it to Google and send it to Steffen and Doug.

Almost Done

Hey Guys

We are almost done with the Google project. Since we practically finished the report on wednesday, we are now waiting for Wen Sze to send me the recommendations by tonight. I will then add it in and send it to Li Zhen for formatting. Li Zhen will then send it back to me and everyone else and i will submit it online to Google. I will also send a copy to Doug and Steffen.

Cheers

The campaigns are over and judging is about to begin in the 2008 Challenge!

Campaigns have now finished and the judging is about to begin for the
2008 Google Online Marketing Challenge! Over 1600 student teams from
47 countries around the world are now competing for a chance to become
our winners and finalists.

What happens next?
As outlined in your guides, we will use the Campaign Statistics
algorithm to determine the top 50 teams in each region. AdWords
experts from within Google will then apply an extra level of rigor to
select the top five teams in each region.

Once the top five in each region have been chosen, our independent
Global Academic Panel will review the Pre-Campaign Strategy and
Post-Campaign Summary reports to determine the regional and global
winners and our finalists. It takes great Campaign Statistics to make
the top five in each region, and then great written reports to win.

Remember: Teams must have submitted their reports on time to be
eligible for judging. Teams who have only recently completed their
campaigns have until the 14th of June to get their Post Campaign
Summary report to us. For more information on this, please refer to
your guides.

The winners and their professor will be notified in mid July 2008. You
will also be sent an email around this time to let you know who won.

Student teams will also be able to see how they performed. Based on
the results from the Campaign Statistics algorithm, we will upload a
list of all competing CIDs indicating how groups fared. Teams should
remember to keep their CID number as this will be needed this to look
up individual performance.

Good luck!
The Google Team

Job Well Done

Hey Guys

Congrats on the awesome performance last night. We will be meeting next wednesday 9am sharp and we will work the whole day (hopefully less : P ) to finish the Google report.

Cheers

Almost There...

Hey Guys

Thanx for putting in all the effort to practically complete the report and powerpoint slides. Once tonight's presentation is over, what is left is the Google report, which we can do next.

I suggest that we meet up for one day and just complete the whole thing. We kinda have already started, but we just need to do it the way Google wants it.

Once again it's been great working with you guys! Let's end this with a bang : P

Cheers

The last two laps of the race!

Tomorrow marks the end of our Adwords campaign and I think that most of us are really relieved that the intense drama is over!

There are two more laps of the race which we still need to run, our presentation tomorrow to Steffen and the Final Report submission to Google.

Fortunately with everyone's effort put in, we have managed to successfully complete the bulk of our report and powerpoint slides, amidst the examination period. Just left with the graphs and charts of week 3 and that's it folks!

So thank you everyone for all the hard work put in during these three weeks. I think it doesn't matter whether or not we're able to get a placing in the finals and such. As long as we've done our best, and have no regrets, that's all that counts.

Therefore, give yourselves a HUGE pat on your backs, (as a form of encouragement :P) because the race is finally gonna be over! :)

P/S: We'll be meeting tomorrow 22nd May 2008 for rehearsal at 6pm.
