AMA UT Shines at ICC, Ranking Top 15 Internationally!

This past weekend, our AMA chapter at The University of Tampa showcased its excellence at the annual American Marketing Association International Collegiate Conference held in New Orleans, LA. With participation from all AMA collegiate chapters, ICC provided a platform for incredible experiences including keynote speaker events, workshops for chapter improvement, networking sessions, career fairs, and competitive opportunities. 

We’re delighted to announce that from over 350 collegiate chapters, our chapter secured a spot in the Top 15 internationally, representing the top 4%! This achievement showcases the dedication and work ethic of our members and leadership team. Special recognition goes to our AMA UT President, Kenny Ramsey, for creating an outstanding chapter plan that received “Outstanding” ratings across all 6 categories, a significant leap from last year’s performance. 

Megan Murphy and Callie Kesilewiski took part in the Marketing Strategy competition, showcasing their strategic abilities in a 30-minute window, followed by a 7-minute presentation to a panel of judges. Additionally, through collaboration with the Sykes College of Business – Institute for Sales Excellence, we welcomed five talented individuals to join us at ICC, cultivating a stronger partnership and contributing to our success in the Outbound Sales and Perfect Pitch competitions. We congratulate Xavier Tahtabrounian, whose outstanding performance earned him recognition as a Perfect Pitch finalist, standing out among a competitive field of participants.

This weekend was not just about competition; it was also about creating connections with industry leaders and professionals. Our chapter had the privilege to network with representatives from renowned companies such as Google, Amazon, Deloitte, Mattel, Inc., Bloomberg, and many more, gaining valuable insights and opportunities for our future endeavors. 

To all our AMAzing leaders and dedicated members, your hard work and commitment have truly made a mark on the global stage. Let’s continue to strive for excellence and uphold the spirit of AMA UT’s success!
